This book was so good. I was sucked in right at the very beginning. When Bud and his buddy Mick decide to add a "third" person to their heist in their hometown, things only go wrong. Which reminded them why they never hit in the place they lived.It was interesting to see how things connected. It was great. Bud I liked from the very beginning. Yes, he is a bank robber, but he's a nice bank robber..hehe. He seems to be a nice guy (aside from being a thief). It's so hard to like a guy you know is doing the wrong things, but he is a pretty likable guy :). His friend Mick on the other hand was such a tool. He made me so mad the whole time. None of them would be in the mess they were in if Bud had the balls to stand up to Mick. Their "third" person Johnny was dumber than dumb can be, and only caused problems. So frustrating to read. I guess that is part of what kept me reading.When the heist is done that is when life gets really exciting for these three men. More thugs are introduced and its interesting to see how they all connect. There were times when I was like "whaaat". I love it when a book does that to me.I don't want to give anything away, but this is a great read. It's interesting, exciting, and action packed. When you get involved with robbing banks, and Casinos, the whole world gets interesting. This book brings real meaning to "don't poop where you eat"..hehe. sorry for the description..hehehe.There are so many great characters in this book. The author did a great job of making me "feel" what was going on in the book. I found myself holding my breath at a few points in the book. I kind of laugh at myself when that happens. My husband always tells me "it's just a book". Ya, well when a book can do that to me it makes me happy. I really enjoyed the writing.Content: There is language in this book. I have a hard time saying that sometimes, because what I think is a lot of language is very different from what other people think.Source: I received this book from Random House Publishing-Alibi and Netgalley in return for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way for this review. These are my own PERSONAL thoughts on the book.(less)
