犀利丶有趣且节奏快
本书的特色在於呈现充满活力的青少年玩笑对话，每一章都充满了想像力丰富的人物，故事背景设定在一所乡村中学，讲述了一群学生决定集资成立银行借钱给同学的搞笑故事。他们可以毫不费力地找到客户，而且不久之後就能赚到一笔大钱。当一对超聪明的科技迷姐妹要求他们投资约会应用程式时，大家都很看好这个计画，於是同学们纷纷往这对姐妹身上投钱。当应用程式崩盘时，整个事情很快就开始瓦解；他们投资的小猪表演影片计画失败了；当地的黑帮家族对他们的所作所为过感兴趣。随着银行倒闭，钱开始蒸发，小伙子们急切地想拯救他们的紧急备用金，却发现这群人之中有一个人已巧妙地将它藏在了一个看似不怎麽聪明的地方。
A real strength in the book is the dialogue. It fizzes with energy, and Quigley rolls out typical teenage banter with a skill that makes it seem effortless. Each chapter bursts with imaginative characters, and draws on the reality of those school days where everyone of note has a nickname, often gleaned from a single event or trait that they will never be allowed to outgrow ... The similarities with the banking crisis are more than just plot-related. There is also the attitude of the participants, the greed and the apathy, that sense of forging onward without considering the consequences.
