An engaging start that lost my interest in a mire of nonsensical action towards the end. I loved the concept with the main character desperate to reclaim the use of her damaged hand making a deal with her hometown's mystical body part recovering creek.

The set up of trading bad parts was interesting but it's no shock when it all has a price and then it just descends into a non too engaging action sequence in which I cared about few people and many actions didn't make sense to me.

The writing style wasn't for me with a lot of the descriptions been over the top and jarring to the flow. The narrator of the audiobook, Ellie Gossagewas was OK.

Overall come for the great set up but leave before the end....

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the copy

Super Fun and Easy to be a day trader....
This is a really fun lightweight game, that has more depth and replayability than I first thought. I really enjoyed it every time I've played it so far (4 times) and look forward to owning it soon. I really like how distilled down the trading experience is. It's not over simplified, but really simplified to the right amount. Anyone can pick up and play this game. It takes the intimidation right out of it. plus the variable players that you can start the game with give you different powers and therefore change the strategy on how you play each game slightly. There is an expansion to the game I haven't tried yet but I expect it to be great as well.

If you were to look up the phrase "fish out of water movie", this film would have to be one of the top movies on the list.

After a Detroit police's officer's friend is murdered, he relocates himself to Beverly Hills, California to investigate only to discover law enforcement operates under quite different principles out there.

Alhough Eddie Murphy had made both "48 Hours" & "Trading Places" before this film was released in 1984, this one was definitely his breakout hit.

His crass, foul demeanor juxtaposed against the prim and proper by-the-book procedureness of the CA cops lent itself to many hilarious and memorable moments. His partners Judge Reinhold and John Ashton worked extremely well with Murphy who had really come into his own as a leading man comic actor for this role.

Still one of my all-time favorite comedies.
