Nice story about how plans to make off with some found loot go awry. ( )

Stupid people making idiotic choices does not make a plausible story...

I read 247 pgs. This book is about two bothers by the name of Hank and Jacob, who discover a plane with $4 million dollars. They figure that maybe they could take the money and keep it for the time being until the police find out or someone files a lost for it. All they had to do is wait but they decide to tell one of their friends Lou, who is now involved is waiting to take a piece of the money. The best part about this book is the suspense because you never know what is going to happen next. It turns out that they had to kill Pederson, who was actually saw them and found out where the plane was. So, they panicked and ended up murdering him. As the story goes on Sarah, which is Hank's girlfriend gets involved also. She wanting for all this to end but he told her everything would be okay. Next, thing you know they kill Lou because they thought he would end up betraying them. Things just get worse and worse along the road due to greed. I suggest people to read this if they are wanting to find out more. ( )

I loved the book but the movie did not do it justice. Also living in the area where the book takes place made the experience even better for me. ( )

A Simple Plan is one of the best books I've read in recent years. Not only is it well-written, it takes a close look at the impact of our choices and explores the gray area of ethics. There are so many angles in this book - it just makes you think for months after you stop reading it.

A sense of foreboding permeates the entire novel. It proceeds like an accident that you can't look away from. You want to scream at the characters - don't do that! - because some of the actions are painful to watch, yet utterly human. ( )
