"This is a book full of small, cumulative pleasures....The scenes involving criminals seem less authentic, and some of the plotting is creaky, but Oswald is not really concerned with giving us social realism. it's a short book, and a well-paced one. The comedy is savage and very funny....Ultimately the book is a parable about the extent to which money is, or is not, destiny. This is a high ambition, one that Oswald tackles without pretension."Oswald, Georg M. is the author of 'All That Counts' with ISBN 9780802139313 and ISBN 0802139310.
