The story of a man who wants to get rich and marry his girlfriend. One day he watches a movie and thinks he has found a way to achieve his dreams. This story is quite good, and has some surprising twists in it, but I found it hard to connect with the main character.

Its about a story that includes murder. The main character, Brad and his girlfirned, Gina decided to get married. But because they had no money for it, Brad planns a murder to get moneys for the wedding. From reading it, i found that bad action makes unhappy life.

The end of this story is common. This book insists "money". I don't like this kind of story. Finally they became rich! Is this fun? I don't think so.

I don't like tha man's way. So I thought it serves him right for being lonely at the end.

It was a love story with troubles. It was interesting, but kind of common story,and I could expect easily what will happen to the next. I thought the writer want to say that keeping bad secret would come out in the end!

This isn't a love story. This is a thriller.
This is a very orthodox thriller.

The main character loves his girl friend but he doesn't have much money, so he does a terrible thing. I didn't understand why he did so stupid thing. But this ending is very fair, I think.

At first I was tired of reading such a common love story.
Although I was surprised at the ending. Then I found the difference of the custom between Japan and the United Kingdom.
So this book was pretty nice.
