Book Reviews of A Simple Plan
Book Review: More dramatic ending needed
Summary: 4 Stars
I was blown away by this book. Very dark and evil. However, because it was so evil, I really wanted it to have an ending to make it truly demonic. The ending was good, but I wanted more tragedy out of the end result. I almost expected a dual suicide similar to the way Hanks parents died, only inculding their daughter. THAT would have been more dramatic than the ending it had, although it does make you really evaluate your life.Book Review: A perfect book
Summary: 5 Stars
A SIMPLE PLAN is one of those perfect books that makes me stomp my heel and wish to hell I had written something so good. It's a take on the old "Treasure of Sierra Madre" setup, but it's so well done, the characters so well drawn, the twists so surprising, it will stay with you for a long after you've finished it. I read it when it first came out, and I still remember it--the true sign of a good book. Highly recommended.Book Review: all the characteristics of a good reading experience
Summary: 5 Stars
The plot is intriguing and believable as one feels drawn into the story and begins to identify with the realistic and likeable characters. The writing style is skillful, even making one feel the bleakness of the winter day when the adventure begins. This is a book I have given to others as a gift and have never regretted reading. It well deserved its bestseller status and excellent professional reviews.Book Review: Gripping and well written but a real downer
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a well written book that follows several characters through a hellish spiral that leads to destruction. This book is intense and gripping and hard to put down, yet it is also a difficult read due to the plot and events. It graphically illustrates the evil descent of people corrupted by greed, paranoia and fear. It is a downer.Book Review: Ha!!
Summary: 4 Stars
All I can write is "Ha!!!!". How this one guy can completely SCREW up his objective is downright hysterical. The movie did this book NO justice, but the book itself was a super fun, super easy read. Not a page turner, but one you WILL not regret.
