Title: The Deed
Author: Keith Blanchard
Pages: 302
Grade: C+/B-
Summary: (From Booklist)
Jason Hansvoort lives an all-too-common 20-something existence: he has an unfulfilling job at an uncaring corporation, too many evenings spent in bars with friends, and a string of one-night stands to his credit, but very little direction in life. Then the beautiful Amanda, a Native American law student, finds him and tells him he may stand to inherit Manhattan Island if a 350-year-old deed can be found. Suddenly Jason finds himself with two goals worthy of pursuing.
My thoughts: Um, a fairly quick and easy read. However, it is quite anti-climatic. And the lead characters just don't seem fully fleshed out as characters. I think really while the basic storyline is well paced...and the story was complete...details were missing, which kept it from being a good novel. But again, quick read, mildly entertaining, and only cost me a $1.
