Customer Reviews

Didn't want to like it but...

It was hard to start enjoying this book because the protagonist is such an a-hole but the story was quite exciting and when I finished I wanted to read more.

Re-discovered this book

I read this book about a year ago on a friend's recommendation, and remember really liking it. Then I came across my copy last week while clearing out a closet, and thought I'd re-read the first chapter - I wound up re-reading the whole thing. I'm not necessarily a big fan of 'crime fiction,' or whatever category this would fit into, but something about this American cruising around Europe as a con man is really enjoyable. I have since passed my copy on to a friend and he just called me, three chapters in, loving the book - so I thought I'd recommend it to the world at large. This is one very well-written book that keeps you turning the page. Well worth a read (or two!)

A thrilling, intelligent (and funny) book. A great read.

I read lots of crime-fiction, and this book is one of the best I have come across. The charactors are interesting, the plot is thrilling, the locations intreguing and the writing is exciting. My wife was upset, however, that I stayed up all night, and kept waking her with my chuckling. Please let me know when Mr. Eversz comes out with another!
