I always like short stories because

Revisado: 09-17-23

I can flip through the short stories which were not so great. 1st half much better than 2nd half - v. imaginative and concisely written. (the only story I liked in the 2nd half was a woman scouting 'round and about on some messed-up planet) Overall, a great book to get.

Agreed with other reviews

I pre-purchased this book and stopped halfway - hard to keep track. I read (real paper-made books), these books when they were originally published - many years ago! But now this series has lost its way. Great narrator. TRW

could be better - I liked some aspects - the beginning and the ending not so much the middle

Boring

Generic boring really did not feel like you were in Paris or anywhere else interesting.

Still at the top of his Form. Definite Florida! Not as gruesome as some of his prior works, but c'est la vie. Five Star Book

I liked his stories. He seems to gloss over how, yes, the FED saved the world during 2009 by bailing out Banks and Finance Houses - and also their Executives (just that the FED is the Hero of the World). He didn't really address the potential consequences of the Trillions of dollars created ever since (out of thin air). He did better expounding about the new Euro. He could point out that now, cash will be used as a store of value, and that Square or credit cards will be used for transactions (rather than cash). Maybe a good chapter about how the Pound Sterling used to rule the World - but not anymore - would be a good story. If really writing about Money, then why not point out that pennies are stupid. Probably the most for which I disagree is his attacking the Gold Standard, that topic went on and on, and on. Never mentioned that gold's price is up 100X after the dollar no longer redeemable for gold. Yes, the pertinent paper currency drops in value when too much is made (or its issuer is vanquished in a war).

Real Florida Fiction

Along with Dorsey and Hiaasen - Tom Cooper has introduced more unique Florida characters and environments. A great book!

Started off great then withered on the vine

First: the performance was great, and I also like some of Kim's other books very much. As other reviews mentioned, started off great, really great, and then got meandering. I skipped chapters..... And, still wanted the freshness of the first chapters. Even so, with a few hours left, I have abandoned this book and moved on. Wasted time.

Waited years for this.....Yikes

Revisado: 10-09-17

Extremely predictable actions and reactions. The characters are so stock-plot and cardboard. His first books were my favorites, this is just some nonsense to get easy cash. I kept waiting for it to spool-up but yikes is all I can say. The Da Vinci Code was a fantastic book (the movie was generic). Where did the talent go? Too much money is not necessarily a good thing, you lose your edge.
