Comet Press The Fall Guy

At first I was disappointed that it was a relatively short story, but was not disappointed by the plot. What started out as a careless knock of another car went on to take Todd Collins on a journey he would never have imagined. Great read again by Simon Wood, he never disappoints and his plots are all so very different. Great for a bookworm like me.

How can you not like a novel that surprises you and makes you smile while you're reading it? I won't talk about the story line, many reviewers have already done it quite adequately but I would like to mention that in my opinion the main elements that make this novel successfull are the writing itself and the diversity of the characters involved. It's a short book full of action and funny dialogues who remind me of some 50's films noirs. The lead character, Todd, is interesting because of the ways he adapts to every kind of situation, I can't help it but I keep seeing him as Robert Carlyle. However, the character I prefered was Black, I would have like to know more about him, maybe the author will bring him back someday!!! All in all, it is a very entertaining book.

Maybe it's just me and the type of books I normally read, but this did nothing for me.

Strangers, bad guys join a conspiracy with a stranger they have just met to commit a crime. This happens several times. Until the reader cries "Mercy" and puts the book down. What a waste.
