Money Run by Jack Heath


Jack Heath has written a third novel called Money Run. This story is about two teenagers, a hit man, the government and a very smart billionaire. As soon as I heard of this book I wondered would it live up to the expectations of his other popular books, The Lab and Remote Control and after reading it, I can say it did. This book starts with action and then there's some more action and then guess what, more action again. I found that even though it was interesting and well written it was a bit to fast with no real introduction but a few glimpses of the characters past life. It's not until near the end that you start to think that you know the character, but that was in my opinion the only major floor in this story. There are lots of complicated problems in this book that characters have to work out, but the reader, from past chapters knows the answer to them. Yet that character has the answer to a question that the other character does not know. Its like a murder mystery, but there's no murder and you don't know what your trying to work out (it's confusing but interesting). Everything is explained in the end and they give you some time to marvel at Jack Heath's genius before the 24 hour story is concluded. After reading it, though there are some problems, I found that it was a great and interesting book that I will happily recommend to anybody who likes the other Jack Heath books, Anthony Horowitz or the Keys to the Kindom series.
