This is an amazing story of how 3 kids managed to pull off a robbery of an unbelievable magnitude. These college interns managed to earn the trust of some of the brightest minds in the country and steal moon rocks from the Johnson Space Center and NASA. The tale unfolds much like a movie which makes sense since the author also penned The Accidental Billionaires and made it to the big screen under the name The Social Network. Thad Roberts has a brilliant mind and once he puts it to use, no one can stop him. Again, the story seems like fiction but has all of the elements of a thriller if you made up all of the characters. It reminded me a bit of Carl Hiaasen since most of his work is based on true facts. The truth is truly stranger than fiction. Thad Roberts has an almost abusive childhood and is always striving for acceptance. He meets up with two girls and becomes a ring leader among the interns taking them on weekend trips that would make a lot of college kids blush. I am still trying to figure out how these kids were able to pull of this heist. The funniest thing about this whole story is that Thad thought he would get away with the whole scam be selling the rocks through the internet. He might have if it wasn't for a collector that helped bring him down. Overall, a great read that will appeal to those fans of Jon Krakauer mixed with Carl Hiaasen

This book gives the opportunity to understand the "character" of White Anglo Saxon Protestants (descendants of the immigrants of the "first wave", of the Puritans, who persevered all the hardships,and by their hard work, laid down the foundation of USA, as a country), living in the provincial Maine, which remains to be the last citadel of this ethnic and social group (to the north of the Mason-Dixon line). Elizabeth Strout masterfully shows the dominance of the "understatement" in the WASP's behavior. Moreover, she intentionally shows her own belonging to this group, by using lots of understatement in her style of the story telling. She purposely gives very minimum details, thus forcing the reader to reread the stories several times before it becomes more or less clear what really she was trying to *tell*. For example, with regards to Doyle Larkin - Roger and Louise Larkin's son, she intentionally makes it vague to understand what crime he committed and especially what kind of relationship he was with "that woman", whom he so violently killed via repeated numerous stabbing. Also Elizabeth Strout is very tacit, when two times she touches on the subject of the cultural differences (almost reaching the level of incompatibility and intolerance) between WASP's and Jews. One of the major plot lines in the book is dysfunctional relationship between Olive and her son - it is described very realistically and quite to the point. When Elizabeth Strout describes the relationship of Olive and Jack - both are in their 70s - I think that the sex part of it is not believable ...
