Black Friday (Abridged) Audiobook

" Great read. I equate this with Grisham's The Firm for a first book. Kept my interest, and a late night to finish it. "

" A financial-thriller (is this the correct term?), and a touching story, from a new author, that is a definite page-turner! Fast read, with a main character who goes through a lot of personal development upon leaving prison for Wall Street crime. Highly recommended! "

" A great first novel. I look forward to more from Michael Sears. Thanks to my friend Gina for the recommendation!! "

" I could not put this book down. Great, fast moving story. "

" A real page turner although some of the technical Wall Street stuff lost me. I hope there's a follow-up. "

" Interesting mystery wrapped around the concepts of stock trading and autism! "

" I thoroughly loved reading this book. I passed it on to many friends who have read it also and am currently getting their reviews on the book as well. Thank you for writing a great book!! "

" So far, so good. A challenge to a money-phobe like me: learning about the Wall Street gurus who play with our dough. A very good first effort. I liked the main character, supporting cast, and his troubled relationship with his son. Waiting for the next installment! "

" This is really well done. A nice mix of different plot threads, enough explanation of a technical field to give a sense of peeking inside it, and a hero with a bit of Spenser's insouciance and humor. "

" Financial thriller with a twist tale of no good. Solid stuff here to entertain the brain. "

" Although I couldn't understand a lot of the Wall Street mumbo jumbo, I still found this an enjoyable read. Jason Stafford is a sympathetic character and he attracts others who add to the richness of the interactions between the people who make this story come to life. "

" Great book! I loved Jason Stafford's voice! I was surprised when I read that this is a first novel, as MS sounds already like a seasoned writer. Well done!!! "

" A great read inside Wall Street shenanigans! Loved the short sentences, less really is more. Lot's of LOL lines. Stafford and his autistic son are quite a pair. Looking forward to future novels with them as a team. "

" A great read!! I was hooked from the first page. "

" I had trouble following the book and staying interested. The plot was convoluted and the characters were poorly drawn. "

" Interesting to read this 25-year-old book. I think the author spent much more time on research and such than he does now. I enjoyed it, but it must be read with the 80s in mind. Eerily prophetic in parts, though. "

" When I started to read this book I couldn't put it down. After awhile it just slowed way down. Hopefully the next book I read will be better. "

" For those who like conspiracy theory books this one is for you.....veterans, government officials, law enforcement. They are all interwoven for another great Patterson tale that sadly could be true in today's shaky world. "

" Not as exciting. A little hard to follow. "

" James Patterson is always okay...I enjoy reading it once in a while but at the end I can't say they so memorable...except for Kiss the Girls, but that's probably because of the movie. Morgan Freeman has that ability. "

" I liked the story very much and would have never guessed part of the ending but have to say I got very bogged down with banking and Wall Street lingo and explanations. I wouldn't give up it just took me longer to read than most of his books. "

" A slow start for me, mid way through grabbed my attention good till the end. "
