Review title: Just Awful
Product review: I picked this up off a used book pile in a bookstore, and luckily only paid 50 cents for it. Never read anything by Stephen Frey before, and never will again. Awful dialogue, superficial characterizations, completely unrealistic situations -- four or five members of this family get clipped in a week and no one seems to notice any pattern or react.The book seemed like one of those role playing computer games where none of the characters react at all to events -- a presidential candidate shoots himself, no reaction; the head of a billion dollar hedge fund gets killed, no reaction. It was laughable.Frey seems to be aiming to be Grisham for the financial set, which is aiming pretty low. Grisham is awful too, but at least grounds his stories in characterization as well as plotting. All Frey does is add an explosion or murder every 15 pages, trying to keep the story moving.Save yourself two hours of your life. Don't read this book.
