The Sequel

Flat Broke:  The Theory, Practice and Destructive Properties of Greed by Gary Paulsen is the sequel to Liar, Liar, which I haven't read.  I listened to Flat Broke and thought it was pretty decent.  I don't know.  I am still not feeling the love for Gary Paulsen.  Then again, I am not the target audience for a GP book, so I really don't like to rip on his books.  And I did really like The Tent, in so far as it made me think.  I liked Flat Broke enough to want to read Liar, Liar, so that is saying something, too.  Kevin is a pretty nice guy.  He just really wants to earn a lot of money so that he can impress a girl.  That seems normal enough, right?  It's hard to dislike Kevin at all, really.  And I did feel bad for him when things got rough.  I think that his ideas for making money were quite creative, too!  Now I am anxious to go back and find out about Kevin's lying problem in Liar, Liar so that I can recommend both, because, while I'm not in love with Flat Broke, I really did enjoy it.
