The theme is human greed. The main character is a married man that is willing to do anything to hold on to what he has acquired. And when I say anything, I mean ANYTHING. A good story that could have been even great, but I feel the author’s main character gotten a bit to extreme to my taste, in fact to such a degree that mid through the book what had been a tragedy changed into a parody.

First edition as new

Nothing is as easy as you think! ( )

Hank, su hermano y un amigo encuentran cuatro millones y medio de dólares en una avioneta estrellada. Para quedarse con el botín, trazan un plan por el que Hank, el único de ellos que cuenta con un empleo estable y que aparenta ser un hombre respetable, guardará el dinero hasta que nadie lo reclame y puedan repartírselo. Pero la intervención de la esposa de Hank y la irrupción de un inoportuno granjero pondrán en peligro sus proyectos.

This took me something like 25 days to read. I read the first 100 pages in one day. The beginning and the end were great, gripping. Middle got slightly boring. Never hard to read or anything, but didn't compel me to read on like the beginning and end did. I suppose a few things didn't seem terribly believable, like the main character and his wife's lack of shock at some of the things. I'm pretty sure I would have more than "a tight knot in my gut" if I killed six people in a couple of months. Overall though I was convinced and it was interesting seeing how it turned out. ( )
