Not a classic. More like a fun movie.
Book was very engaging, especially towards the end. But there are moments when you almost shout ‘Come on..’ , probably because some of the characters are incongruous with the generally associated stereotypes or even how the author describes their behaviour in all other places. Abby’s character was especially not built well. At some places she becomes this strong independent witty woman, and in other places she’s one super husband dependent damsel in distress who only thinks about yards and kitchen. Loved some of the witty dialogues, in spite of them becoming repetitive later. I also felt the buildup on what the firm was doing was much bigger than the revelation. Maybe because there has been too many mafia movies between the time this book was written and now. Overall , I think it almost lived up to the hype. This is not one of those books where the characters stay with you fit days after reading. It’s more like a fun thriller movie you watch over the weekend, feel thrilled in the moment and then you move on

2.5. Mostly a generic thriller. Random and unnecessary stereotyping, plus a healthy dose of other -isms. Expected it to be better.
