I saw that a new book club was forming on nookboards and the title caught my eye, “The Twenty Dollar Bill”. How could anyone write a book about a bill? Reading the review a little further: “…Follow the path of a twenty dollar bill as it is stolen, given, spent or otherwise passed from person to person, traveling from place to place…..”
It downloaded with no problem. So I decided to read a little. It didn’t take long before I was hooked. I guess you could say I cheated. I didn't wait for the book club, I read the entire book, I couldn't stop, I wanted to find out what character was waiting to receive the twenty dollar bill.
As the twenty moved along from person to person you get a glance into that person’s life. This was a clever technique that the author, Elmore Hammes, employed to introduce you to all types people. Some were shady, some you would like to meet and become friends, others……interesting.
What a pleasant surprise. I loved this book. Give it a try, you too might get hooked. :thumbs up:
