"Easy Marks" by Dennis Walsh suggests that the core of the human spirit is its lasting strength and flexibility. The story highlights that life's biggest changes and insights can happen at any time, urging us to stay open to growth and learning, regardless of our age. Congratulations to the author, #BOTD!

I have gone through a few pages of the book as well as the review and find that there is a good flow in this story. People leaving Italy and migrating to greener pastures and then starting a new life in the new place is itself an interesting background. I would be keeping this book in my bookshelf in 'want to read' category.

The way Easy Marks addresses elder fraud through the engaging story of Sal and Mona is commendable. This book not only entertains but also educates, offering valuable insights into how seniors can protect themselves from scams. It’s a brilliant read that combines action, romance, and real-life issues.

From adventure and culture to romance, humor, and crime fighting, today's BOTD sounds like it has everything a reader could ask for! I can't wait to find out what happens with Sal and Mona's business after he moves to Florida for retirement. I've downloaded my copy, ans I'm excited to start reading! Thanks so much! :-)

I'm certainly in the right age group for which this book is aimed, and I've been noticing all the fraudulent attempts aimed at me. Kudos to the author for raising awareness of his issue.

This book encourages older people to not give up on their dreams. It is never too late to pursue your dreams, but you have to be careful of those who take advantage of you because of your age. Thank you for your informative review.

Thank you for your informative review!

“Easy Marks” by Dennis Walsh seems like a great example to combat the negative perceptions and stigmas of old age. I agree with Walsh that life can get better after work retirement. I admire that Sal and Mona created the Senior Recover Services (SRS) in Florida, an association that helps defrauded senior citizens. I like that this book is not only about rediscovering oneself, but also about making the world a better place.

Congrats! #BOTD

I believe that life can start at any age. Sal is an inspiring character not only for older adults but for everyone in general. It is advisable to write on the topic of scammers to alert older people who might be prone to falling for fraudsters' tricks. Also, the book includes romance, action, culture, and food styles.

Sal's narrative is engaging, easy to read, and relevant in the current times. I have yet to read something with a similar premise. I am curious. Thanks for the informative review. .

The reviewer is an amazing reader just as Dennis Walsh is an exceptional author. I look forward to reading more about Sal and gaining insights into navigating old age. His relationship with Mona seems very captivating and I cannot wait to read and learn more about SRS.
