I read a sample of this book, and I wasn't too impressed. I really liked the plot, but I found the narrator to be very annoying. He seemed so cocky and obnoxious. But maybe I judged too quickly!!

As I read the plot of the story it seems it that it is composed of superb ideas with great imaginative compoaition. As if this is a desire of someone to become a hero on his own way without revealing it because of some circumstances such breaking the law in order to serve justice or to kie in order to save someone from getting hurt. A great story of Don Dahler.

Wow..this is very similar to the story of Bruce Wayne and how he lives a double life; a billionaire by day and a crime fighter by night. This seems like a book i will very much love to read. Good job with the review.

Wow, sounds really interesting! Made me think of the characters Batman, Spiderman etc. but I like the story behind this particular character and it is that story that sets this book apart from the typical action hero stories. This is a regular guy, and use the word regular loosely, who has a double life that does not include an "outfit". I really enjoyed your review, you did an amazing job!

I'm not sure when it happened, but only recently have I begun loving books written in the first person. It throws you right into the action and really helps you stay connected with characters, which is so important. Do a Little Wrong sounds like a great action read, although I hope the author invests the time to eliminate the spelling/grammar errors, as that sometimes can make or break a book!

I just finished the first chapter, and I must say that I am intrigued. If the rest of the book is a well-paced and cleanly written as the beginning, I am looking forward to finishing it. Nice review. You certainly helped me make up my mind to take the time to read the rest.

As a fan of Lee Child, I would have to assume this is a story I would enjoy! Thank you for sharing your review!

I was intrigued by the synopsis of the book and about 90% ready to download it. Then I read your review and was 100% convinced I must read this book in the near future. As soon as I read your description of Kyle and his lifestyle the first thing that popped into my head was Bruce Wayne. Curious to read and see if I agree with you on your choice of Ryan Reynolds for the part of Kyle should a movie adaptation ever be made. Excellent review!

A socialite, playboy who dates swimsuit models and drives flashy cars is actually a robin hood who helps people in finding their missing loved ones. Great review, thanks.

Great review. This guy sounds a little like Batman. I love the idea of the not so innocent superhero living a double life. I will definitely have to put this book on the "to read" list.

Wow. You are fantastic and brilliance. Its a wonderful review you give. Very detailed too. Thank you very much. The author very clever to bring in the story from shakespeare 's Merchant of Venice and combine the hero in Batman's double life. Very interesting and action pack. Definately will give a read soon. Both Merchant of Venice and Batman are my favourites. Thanks again for a superb great review.

I agree with MsTi's reply. This does resemble the life of Batman. Using your wealth and position to do good in the world. Love the review and will consider giving this book a read. Thank you.

I am enjoying this book very much. The style and pacing are perfect for an action thriller. I never once feel that the writing has gotten in the way of the compelling storyline. Congratulations on Book of the Day!

I could not help but compare Kyle Royce to a Robin Hood of sorts. He doesn't exactly rob banks to finance his pursuits because he has a currency trading firm for financial support. Or he could also be said as a parallel to Batman, having lost his parents at a very young age. Kyle is easy to relate to being a benign guy with a little wrong-doing in order to do great things. I like this storyline. Thanks for your nice review.
