A Simple Plan: A Novelby Scott Smith
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Two brothers and their friend stumble upon the wreckage of a plane — the pilot is dead and his duffle bag contains four million dollars in cash. In order to hide, keep, and share the fortune, these ordinary men all agree to a simple plan. Review:"Read this book. It is better than any suspense novel since The Silence of the Lambs." Stephen King Review:"Spectacular....10 shades blacker and several corpses grimmer than the novels of John Grisham....Do yourself a favor. Read this book. (Grade: A+)" Entertainment Weekly Review:"Beautifully controlled and disturbing....Works a devastating variation on the idea of the banality of evil." The New York Times Book Review Review:"Like watching a train wreck. There is nothing to be done, but it is impossible to turn away." Chicago Tribune Review:"[A]stonishingly adept, ingeniously plotted...the book fulfills every expectation of a novel of suspense....Smith's imagination never palls...worthy of comparison to Stephen King at his best." Publishers Weekly Review:"Smith infuses each new twist of violence with shocks of unexpected pity....An eerily flat confessional whose horror is only deepened by its flashes of tenderness.... Review:"A marvel....The story-twists keep you turning the pages and guessing what's coming next. With cool precision, Smith outlines the ever-widening spiral of distrust and violence." The Boston Globe Review:"A work of deceptive simplicity and singular power....To describe the fascinating parade of thoughts and deeds that lead inexorably to the book's calamitous conclusion would give away too much of the plot." The Washington Post Review:"Expertly crafted...will make you feel like an unindicted co-conspirator. To say more about the plot would ruin the pleasure of reading the book for yourself." People Review:"[A] riveting first novel....Occasionally, it seems a bit too pat — the reader is left wondering whether anyone could commit so many crimes without moral upset — but ultimately this should prove popular reading." Library Journal Review:"The plot is clever, gripping, and full of twists. As Hank narrates the story, the tension builds slowly, but is sustained until the surprise ending. Young Adults will quickly become caught up in this polished suspense novel." School Library Journal Synopsis:Sometimes Good People Do Evil Things
