I really wanted to like this book, but perhaps I'm simply the wrong audience. The book takes place in 1987 with a group of 16 year old boys. I happen to remember that time, having been 30 at the time. Of course, I lived in a nice suburb of Chicago and these boys come from a less than affluent part of New Jersey, I don't think that they could have been as different as this book makes out. Some of the chronological/historical errors bothered me, and a few other details just didn't make sense (for example, would a single mother, forced to work night shifts for the extra dollar an hour, really have cable TV so her son could watch MTV? Personally, I doubt it). More importantly, the idea of petty crime and (even soft core) porn just didn't sit well with this nearly 60 year old mother, especially if 16 year old boys today might think it cool!

>Sorry, but no... not for me!

Are you a Crime Fan or even a detective Fan? Well you may be missing out on another amazing book. This book is called “The Fourth Courier” by Timothy Jay Smith. I enjoyed this book once I got into it.

The setting is set in Poland. You will learn a bit of the lifestyle. I never been dropped into Poland in a book setting or any historical fiction book. This author does this and I can see myself walking along the sidewalks.

The author does wonderful for his crime and detective of this book. It even got a thriller to it. I just love the way this book grabs you and take you for a ride. I am now wanting to learn more about Poland and it effects on it people and landscape.

Amazing and riving is my way to describe this book in all. Though I suggest children be at least aware that there a murders and a murder and some sex scenes in it. Nothing to bad but I would suggest children be at least the age of 14 and up. It up the parents to decide for there own children though.

We got a adventure with and FBI agent and an agent that in the embassy in Poland. Will they find the missing bomb and it Courier? Will they be able to stop and save Poland from an Atomic bomb or will be the end of their new world?
