if Russian mobsters or Las Vegas fascinate you, read on. Or if you’d just like to step away from your life and slip into a world of clever cons and treachery read Matthew Klein’s addictive new book – officially out tomorrow: Con Ed.
Need a laugh? Even the often hard-to-please Janet Maslin writes glowingly that, “There's no great case to be made for Matthew Klein's "Con Ed," a bright swindling-scam comedy set in the world of the Internet nouveau riche.

Don't read David J. Montgomery's review if you want to discover the plot first-hand.

And, while you’re at it, read about why you or I sometimes just feel compelled to share our juicy news (such as this book) with others. See Buzz Canuck’s “ten reasons why people evangelize and buzz.”
