I can't say I didn't enjoy reading this book at all. I did. BUT, there were times when I grew tired of money moving around in the same manner, house to trunk, trunk to apartment, apartment to storage unit, storage unit to storage unit and again, then unit to trunk, trunk back into house. Not very imaginative really. The main character flies around a lot, gambles some, is entertained by a rich guy, nothing even sinister there to get excited about. A girl is introduced for really no purpose at all. I stayed with it though, expecting a clever move and finally he'd be on easy street. Not so... The ending was a disappointment and completely unsatisfying. I give it 2 1/2 stars
