Dizzy City: A Novel Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Wasn't sure I liked this book when I first started it but it kept me reading and thought the historical aspect added to ths story of cons conning cons...took me awhile to figure out what all the characters were doing to each other. "

" First novel, author spoke at Virginia Festival of the Book about con men and difficulty writing a complicated con, keeping the tricks hidden and the timing of their exposure. But it works, the ending's a little fizzled, but the scheme and characters keep you hooked. "

" I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I picked it up at the library on a whim. It was engaging and I honestly did not see a lot of the twists coming. I was a little put off by the ending which I found to be to abrubt but I think it's because I wanted to know more. "

" I would have given this a 4 but the ending doesn't tie all the loose ends together and I hate books and movies that leave you wondering. A great read if you like the movies The Sting or Ocean's Eleven. "

" A really good book, sort of historical fiction, about bunco men (and women) in 1916 New York. Really interesting to figure out who was playing who. "

" The multi-layered story borrows its mood from the Great War itself, somber and laid over with a cloth of constant tension. Haunting and intriguing, and the elaborate cons keep you guessing. "
