I was really looking forward to some humor but there wasn't much of it in the first quarter of the book, nor did the storyline really peak my interest; alot of prose and not much action.

I love the Dortmunder series! Who can't feel sympathetic for John Dortmunder? And be amazed at the details of the heists! I especially enjoy the descriptive analogies and words the author uses for this series, as well as the cast of regulars.

I L O V E the Dortmunder series. I don't condone crime in the real world but how can you not be drawn to a character that has such fascinating compadres and find such ingenious ways to get out of the tight situations they end up in.

I've just found a copy to add to my library.

This book reminds me alot of Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. A heavy dose of science, an interesting storyline, and characters you can take an interest in for the entire book.

I took off 1 star because I found the explanation of the sciences would drag the story down alot of the time but that's just me. If I were worked in the world of science I might enjoy this level of detail.

I do know enough science to recognize the name Jim Green in the acknowledgments. I used to listen to his podcasts (Gravity Assist) and was sad when he shut it down but hey, what a way to move on to other pastures!

Like listening to a RonCo commercial.. “But wait! There's more!”

One of my very favorite books that always makes me laugh.
