Can't Buy Me Love is a witty, mysterious, suspenseful story with characters (even the bad guys) that are funny as hell. There's something for everyone in this book---especially if you're a Beatles Fan, and even if you're not, you will absolutely enjoy the way Dan McNeil has taken real life events in that time period and weaved them into the story, with a behind the scenes look at what took place before the Beatles' historic appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. This book has intrigue for the thriller reader, a mystery for the sleuth-type reader and a love story to satisfy all readers who want some love in their books, shaping this book into a well-rounded read.Dan McNeil draws you into Sonny Carter's up-for-another-bank-job world from the beginning and will leave you riveted to the book until you're finished. It's one of those books that you can't put down.I like all the characters, not just the main characters because even the secondary characters were three-dimensional and likeable (I have a soft spot for Morrie and I know you will too, once you read his journey in the book).This book would make a great movie. I could picture Jason Statham playing Sonny.
