About this listen

Unfazed by chaos and bad luck, Melvin Scott knows, "Some things a man must do himself. No matter how dumb that man is." His wife disagrees. In debt over his head, he learns that a penny will grow to more than $10,000,000 in 30 days if it doubles every day. He realizes that other things can grow that fast, too. Bacteria. Disease. Cures. Almost anything. Scott finds hope, and the adventures begin.

The book opens with Scott believing he has found a formula for becoming a millionaire, perhaps in less than 30 days. There is a problem. Scott lives in total chaos with his wife and young children in a house that is falling apart. This is all on top of leaving the military to start over again. What follows is a roller-coaster ride of misadventures - both serious and hilarious. Scott's search for riches comes to a head when he meets a professional treasure hunter from Key West who has located one of Blackbeard's sunken ships in the marsh outside of Savannah, Georgia. Racing to join the treasure hunter, Scott stops in his tracks when he encounters the one person in the world who could keep him from finding the treasure.

Odd characters take a long time to develop with many side stories to reach the conclusion

Fairly disjointed story line

The story was interesting and a little avant-garde. So many characters pop up and it's hard to keep Track of who's who. The story goes from extreme realism to total fantasy with no Smooth transition. Some of it actually being very disgusting, I could've skipped it if it wasn't a book club book.

This book had good possibilities but failed to connect the needed dots. I felt like this was a huge waste of a credit for me.

Can I get a refund?

Not worth a credit not worth the time, poorly written, not a book a would have bought except I’m from the South Georgia area. Couldn’t wade through this even so.

Not a good story

Endless characters not coming together until the last chapter. I Skimmed through the last few chapters to get to the end

Disappointing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

To put it simply, the book is written in an odd way that just did not hook me. I finished it, and the ending was okay, I guess. I was also not a fan of the way everything was over detailed.

Not at all what I expected
