OVERALL RATING 8/10
This is a pretty great book! It isn't at all what I expected, but that's alright. It's a good size for more reluctant readers, and it will keep anyone engaged whether they are six years old or sixty (my father took it and is reading it right now...). The plot is great and the whole thing is very funny. I was a little annoyed by the unrealistic use of Australian slang by one of the characters, but that's really the only complaint I have. It's one of those books that makes you want to go out and make your own Get Rich Quick Club (or at least something of the sort)!
