I didn't much like the parallel treatment of the lives of two generations as described in the kindle review. It confused me--as such devices usually do. That's a personal thing, so not to used to be critical; that is, it is an accepted literary device and the author had a right to use it.Aside from that, I enjoyed the book. It is well-written, dialogue has some wit and novelty and the characters are well drawn. The pace of the relatively short book (not a novella or short story) is rapid which makes it a good travel read. While in one form or another the plot pretty well sticks to well trod roads, still the skill of the author gives it the requisite sense of novelty. I think readers of the genus, "Scam", will find it amusing  and appealing.
