There was no hesitation for me to buy this book, I had already saw the freaking fantastic movie so for me it was a must-read. I wasn't disappointed.
The story is about an 11 year old named Mark Sway who witnessess an attorney commit suicide. Before he dies, the lawyer tells Mark a deadly secret concerning the recent murder of a Louisiana senator who was murdered by a Mafia thug killer who is about to go on trial . The FBI pressures Mark to tell them the attorneys last words but Mark knows that the mob is watching his every move and is already fearful after his house is burned down. He is concerned for the saftety of his mom and little brother so he hires a lawyer. (Susan Saradon in the movie :) Reggie Love in the movie & book. Realizing that Mark has no choice but to talk, Mark comes up with a crazy plan that would keep Reggie and his family safe from the mob... and it just might work.
Definitely recommend! It was a suspense and humor filled novel and surprisingly, the book and the movie were both great (usually its one or the other).
