This book is based on morals and ethics. Who has them and who doesn't is the interesting part of this fast action financial thriller. Would you be able to tell a story being told as it was being told? There are many they can't and believe every word out of someone's mouth to be true. This is who they look for and that is the person that wants to pull the lever to the one arm bandit. I guess once you start reading this book "Miles Away...Worlds Apart" by Alan Sakowitz and figuring out what is going, the scams and deception, then you want to see where they mess up to get caught. They are very good at what they do. A lawyer no less crooked from the start and why is that such a surprise. This story will have you turning the pages if anything to see when they get caught. You know that no scam is perfect and you may earn what to look out for if you have never encountered a person who lives by scamming people. You will enjoy this one. This would be a good discussion for your book club or for the lawyer in your family. When you decide to scam someone or to become a scam artist at one point you life becomes real to you because you are playing a part. In order for it to become believable you have to act and feel what the person would be feeling. In the end you almost cannot tell who the real person is and who the actor is. This is the case that could be interpreted in this book. As the actor or schemer who honestly believes he is giving you good advice or a good deal. The good deal may be lining his pockets but that point is not the discussion. If you have never heard of the term "Ponzi Scheme" they have been around for years. It is how to make a quick buck of the poor soul who believes you. It the person you see coming, the one your parents warned you about and yet you fall for it every time, they are that good. This book was very good and you will take some things away from the book. |
