[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Easy Marks" by Dennis Walsh.]

Who says life can't start at 70? Who says that old age can't bring more fun and love than youth? Salvatore, shortened to Sal, is a clear example that life can get better after active work retirement.

Sal is the son of an Italian immigrant to the USA. His parents own a restaurant in Boston, which they handed over to him and his sister after retirement. Following in his parents' footsteps, he retired from the business after 25 years, leaving its management to his sister Sophia. He decided to travel down to Florida to enjoy life after retirement. Unknown to him, this decision would be the path to that which he couldn't achieve when he was younger. In Florida, he met Mona at a swimming pool, and the relationship that started as a friendship ended up giving birth to Senior Recovery Services (SRS), an association of like-minded individuals that helps defrauded senior citizens get their money back. Read this book to know how SRS operates and how life began for Sal as a septuagenarian.

I salute Dennis Walsh for the wisdom he used in writing Easy Marks. Older people are an easy target for fraudsters because many are lonely and not up to date with the trends in technology. I like how the author was able to write a story on this issue, creating awareness of the gimmick the fraudsters use and how to outsmart them.

While reading the first chapter of the book, I had a mental picture of what the story might be about, but the story took an entirely different turn from what I had imagined in chapter two. The author is a good storyteller and introduces the characters lovingly. Mona is my favourite character in the book. I like how she enjoyed and was living her life even at sixty- four years. The way she shoots her shot at Sal is a course to be studied (lols). I enjoyed reading about how their relationship blossomed and what they were able to achieve with SRS.

There is nothing I dislike about the book. The story is an easy read that keeps you attached to the book, eager to discover what will happen next. From the first to the last chapter, the author switched from romance to action to culture and food styles. The Italian foods mentioned are mouth-watering, and I hope to try them one day.

This book deserves nothing less than a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars because it was professionally edited. There is no reason to deny it a perfect rating; everything about it speaks of perfection.

I recommend this book to senior citizens, tech gurus, adults, and young adults who enjoy reading fiction stories about love, adventure, and crime fighting.

Once you get the necessary awakening life can begin at any age, I like how it's for senior citizens, truly older people are targets for fraudsters. Great review

I like how the author was able to compose a novel about this subject, raising awareness of the scams that con artists employ and how to avoid being taken advantage of. Wonderful review

It’s always beautiful when people later get their purpose in life; whether early or late. As long as we are still alive, there’s hope that we can still achieve something significant.

It is a beautiful thing to see people find joy in themselves even after many years of ignoring the very thing that could bring happiness to us. I love the idea of his retirement and the journey he went on. Nice review and indeed, age is no limit, life can start at 70.

This sounds like an engrossing tale. Sal left his family business to Florida. I would love to know about his journey. Well done on the great review.

We've been told that life begins at 40. However, that's an ideal situation. Realistically, life begins at any age that the individual begins to do what matters. I like that Sal showed a good example of this fact.

Even though this book is mostly meant for the elderly, we also need to read it to prepare ourselves also. Great review. Well done

Indeed, old age is not a barrier to achievement. I believe Sal would enjoy his achievements with SRS even though he has retired from active service. the role his friend played in this is not to be forgotten.

I believe that age is just a number, no matter how old you are you can still achieve whatever you want with the right mindset. I enjoyed your review.

I salute Dennis Walsh for the wisdom he used in writing Easy Marks. Older people are an easy target for fraudsters because many are lonely and not up to date with the trends in technology. Great book.

Fraudsters are my worst enemies. I will appreciate a book that helps me understand their strategies. Though the focus is on older people, I believe what the author shares will help everyone.

There is always an adventure or a mystery that comes with each book that you encounter. They all have their special message and lessons to be taught. This book checks all these boxes and is an intriguing book.

It is such a shame that our current society discounts seniors. As is sad, some older people don’t really hit their stride until the age of 65 or 70, and what they achieve is extraordinary. I’m a little put off by the mention of romance, but I hope it doesn’t take over the book.

Mona is my favorite character in the book. I like how she enjoyed and was living her life even at sixty- four years. The way she shoots her shot at Sal is a course to be studied (lols).

Mona's character seems funny. What is this shoot all about? And enjoying at a senior age is desirable. I'd like to discover how Mona and Sal get along with SRS. Thanks for your interesting review!
