This book is strong in character and story.
Summary:
Vince is a 17 year old high school senior who falls in love with Kendra, the
daughter of the FBI Agent (Bite Me) who is trying to take down Honest Abe Lucas
(Anthony the mob boss) and who also happens to be Vince's father. Vince wants
nothing to do with the "family vending machine business" but gets caught up in
trying to help two losers who owe Vince's father money, while keeping the
dating of Kendra secret from both sets of parents.
I would recommend this book!
Why?
This book is a fast paced and easy read. It is funny and its totally
unbelievable mob life makes escape reading pleasureable because our lives
couldn't get this crazy.
