After reading the Underground Railroad I somehow expected something with some punch from the author. This book is actually a crime/heist book and the story is not that original. A lot fo characters types that have been used hundreds of times in books and on screens populate the story. On the plus side, the prose is very slick, the characters, even though unoriginal behave consistently with the story, and, after adjusting to the rhythm I enjoyed the work of the narrator. If you're short on time and only want to read meaningful books, this is probably not a priority.
