The theme sounds interesting as it revolves around the life of Sal, a retired person who forms an association that helps defrauded senior citizens and lives an inspirational life.

Life can begin at any age, especially for senior citizens, who are often targets for fraudsters. It's a beautiful thing to see people find joy in themselves, even after years of ignoring it. Sal's retirement story serves as a good example of this fact.

I love a book that shifts; just when you think it's going to go one way, it takes a turn. The subject matter is important because senior citizens are the primary targets of scammers. I cannot wait to read this book.

This story was written as clearly and realistic as a non-fiction. I have not read much books having septuagenarians as main characters, so reading "Easy Marks" really stood out for me. I love that the book could highlight how a fun life is not exclusive to younger generations, and also make expositions on the issue of con artists who predate on senior citizens. The book was both entertaining and educational; a perfect read that fits all.

It was a good thing for Sal to finally find love and fun, to prove to those who have started to feel lonely that it is never too late. His purpose must have changed people's lives. It is common for senior citizens to be targeted by fraudsters. I also find the idea of food and the tradition interesting.

They help defrauded seniors reclaim their money. The book blends romance, action, and cultural elements, earning a 5-star rating. Thank you for a great review.

I always like fresh storylines when reading fiction. The plot that revolves around SRS in Easy Marks looks new and exciting. I would love to read this book to know how the story unfolds and more about SRS and Italian cuisine. Thanks for the review. Congrats on the BOTD!

It sounds like a lovely read full of interesting subjects. I'm curious to see how Sal got involved in the SRS as well as how the SRS started. To help the elderly get there money back from fraudsters is an interesting plot indeed. Can't wait to read this. Thanks for a detailed review. Congrats on BOTD and thanks for the free book.
