4.0

This isn't "win" as in a game, this references Win, as in Myron's best friend from the Bolitar series. It's similar but different since the focus is on Win - his family, his past, his attitudes and how he views the world. There are many references to the ultra-wealthy lifestyle he leads and generalizations about wealthy people and their attitudes. It's got occasional smile-worthy phrases and situations, a few sad/grim moments and lots of "philosophy by Win". It's clever, a fast read, an intriguing and sometimes complex family mystery. If you enjoy Coben's Bolitar series, you'll like this extended take on Win.
