Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - This Review Does No Justice To The Book
What a story...one of my top picks from the non-fiction genre. Action, adventure, brutality, justice. Amazing story.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Disappointing
The cover blurb got me to buy this book; it led me to think I was going to read some sort of real life "Ocean's 11." But it's not. The author recounts a series of what amount to snatch-and-grab armored car heists as well as a botched cashier's cage robbery at the Bellagio. The robberies are not very interesting, and the characters aren't very interesting either. There's too much luck, incompetence and happenstance in the events, all of which diffuse any drama. Added to that is the fact the author can't decide in which tense to write the book -- he jumps from present tense to past tense, in a rather disorganized way, while providing lots of extraneous detail. This would have been much better as a 40 or 50 page section of an anthology crime book, but at this length, it's bloated. If the subject interests you, check it out of the library...it's certainly not good enough to warrant a place on your bookshelf.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - A story that needed telling.
This is an amazing story, with details little known even in Nevada.
The writing could be better, but it's still worth reading.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great Read, better than fiction
Great book on a little known robbery spree in La Vegas in the 90's. The book is very good at setting up the character's backrounds and life stories.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Breathless
This book moves from cover to cover, with an unexpected twist at the end. I understand the movie rights have been sold, but no way will this story fit into a two hour movie. It's a mini series.
