Money

I finished this book days ago, and I have to say that I am glad I read it. Many times Martin made me laugh outloud......I am having a very hard time deciding what kind of review to write for this....it's about Money,and how Money jades you,makes you a sinner, etc. etc. etc.
I have to say then when I got to the end of this novel that I actually liked it quite a lot....at times I found it tedious,and a good friend/reviewer of mine kept asking me if I had finished it yet,and how it seemed like it was taking me quite a while to finish. Part of it was busy at work, busy at home, getting sick in the midst of the pages,and then to be honest, I had to take a break from it.....
So, to say that I loved it....no, can't say that I did. To say that I hated it, absolutely not.....
Maybe if I didn't feel pressured at work,and felt more carefree I would have been able to read it faster. To me , this was not an easy read, but like I said, I am glad I read it,and I find Martin to be quite an interesting character....his friendship with Christopher Hitchens prompted me to read this book. I find Christopher's writing to be fantastic,and very very amusing. Martin's writing to me seemed more subtle, more subdued....intelligent writer,and for that I am glad I read the book.
I gave it 4 stars, at first, and then changed it to 3. I'd love to hear others' perspectives on this one,and see your reviews....I am still out and about on this one........
I'd say read it.....it needs to be experienced......

Watched "The Counselor" last night and it was about money, too. Those people sure did their share of sinning for money. I'm already into sinning overload!
