Oooo! What a place to have a breakdown. A cemetery! It is amazing how dependent we've become on cell phones, isn't it? Your description of the book really intrigued me. It reminded me of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-tale Heart." Thanks for an interesting review!

This does indeed sound thought-provoking. I would love to find out whether they accept the deal or not, and of course what the deal is.

Thanks for the great review.

This feels like the classic "Monkey's paw" situation, though this is the first time I believe it ever involved a group of men and a graveyard. I'm not necessarily partial to "horror" content (judging from the review it looks like it'll have at least a few scenes of such in it), but this review gives me a great enough understanding to know what to look for-- great job!

I like the idea of this book. The “chilling“ setting in a cemetery and the question of what they choose to do or don’t do with so much money offered is intriguing. Even with the holes in Alex’s character I’d still give this book a read. Thanks for reviewing.

An interesting and thought provoking story in the book "The Millionaire's Cross" by Sal Nudo, which follows 3 friends who go on a drive and coincidentally meet a mysterious man David. David asks for unusually strange favors from these three friends. The story appears quite intriguing to me.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

The plot sounds like it would make a great movie. The cemetery scene got me spooked and works in drawing the reader to the thriller. It goes to show what people can do when offered lots of money. I am intrigued and would love to read the book. Thank you for a well-written review.

After reading over the sample pages, I was wanting to keep reading on...
Then after reading your very well written review, I know I want to read this book!
Thank you for letting us know about the areas of the book that may not be good for younger readers. This is helpful since I read to students.
Your review gave great insight into this book and gave us that hunger to want to read it for ourselves. Great job!

Captivating plot premise. I wonder what they had to do for 5 million dollars and if they eventually went through with it. Thanks for sharing.

The Millionaire’s Cross by Sal Nudo is a wonderful read. The way the author opened up the book with them gives the reader an outlook on a “ride along narrative story.” The characters Chad and Trevor are two that make this novel a thrilling and exciting one. I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. Lastly, very very special to dedicate this to his wife.

The way you describe it makes it sound like the type of video game where your choices determine the game's outcome, or in this case, Alex, Trevor, and Chad's life. That's actually my favorite kind of video game. I might have to at least give this one a chance, even though thrillers aren't usually my favorites. I guess we'll see. Thanks for the insightful review!

Based on the free sample and the review, his is another book.that I strongly feel would create a perfect movie. This opinion is further enhanced by the author's focus on characterization and their interaction with each other..A excellent choice if you have added it to your shelf. :techie-studyingbrown:

This review is not bad oh. After David offers them 5million dollars, what happens next? Do the three men inclined to the offer or declined the juicy money? Thank you.

I definitely feel like the author could have developed Alex's character better. Otherwise, you really made the book sound fascinating. Thanks for a lovely review!
