5.0

 This is the sort of book that just feels custom-made for me. It's a silly crime caper, full of double-crosses and hijinks, all written with a tongue-in-cheek tone that just makes it an absolute hoot. A down on his luck ex-con gets out of prison, and immediately gets involved in a car delivery gone wrong that sends him on a globe-trotting adventure, one step ahead of mobsters, billionaires, and vengeful salesmen.
