Bank Shot by Donald E. Westlake
2.0
Book #1 was ok so I decided to try book #2 in the series. But the writing is just too dated. Earlier I had said that book #1 was unsophisticated but representative of its time when everything was simpler, whether robbing banks, heists or even heist books.
But after getting through 47% I decided to dnf it. The return value for time spent reading just isn't there. The guileless writing just wasn't enjoyable and I had to force myself to read it. The characters were simple, there were too many of them, each was just a cardboard cutout there to move the story along.
After the repetitive repetition of the novelty of stealing the entire bank faded, there was nothing there. I will not be continuing the series.
