The Hot Rock by Donald E. Westlake

1.0

This book had such high ratings that I thought this was the book for me. With phrases like "hilarious" or "lots of laughs", I figured it would be a good, playful story to read on my latest business trip. Instead, this is a very simple plot with simplistic characters. I tried to find the hilarious dialog, but never did. Several times I considered putting it down for something else. I rarely do that because I always think it will get better. In this case, it never did. If you have those same thoughts after the first "caper", move on. Don't waste your time like I did.
