The Dark Card

This is the most fantastic, exciting book that I ever read. It has everything a reader wants in a book, action, romance and suspense. Laura wants to get into a casino so badly that she takes gigantic steps to succeed. She steals the I.D of her 21 years old sister, steals her dead mother's clothes, makeup and jewelry. Laura went threw all of this trouble just to get into a casino. After weeks of gambling she gets caught up in love problems. At first she likes her best friends brother, but after being in the casino so often, she meets and falls madly in love with a man called Ari. This book shows the side of life of a young adult wanting to do adult stuff. Life is difficult and full of choices. You can chose to grow up, get a job, get married and do adult stuff, or never grow up and never to adult stuff. Who get some of these experiences with the journey of Laura. I rate this book as high as it goes, and I think every girl and boy should read the book The Dark Card!

This book along with many that I have read was probalbly the best. The enchanting story of a seventeen year old girl who becomes obsessed with gambling and tries to cope with the fact that her mother no longer exists, tells and shows more more than one could imagion about any seventeen year olds semi-charmed life. It is exciting to read and is a real page turner. I never put the book down.

This is an excellent book that highly expresses the feelings of a young girl my age who is depressed of the lose of her beloved mother. The best part is when Laura steal's Heather's ID to get into the casinos of Atlantic City, and after reading this book, I became so interested and fascinated by Atlantic City that I had to go there. I confess that I truly loved Atlantic City when I went there for the first time, and it was interesting seeing all the people gamble at the tables and the slots. And I thought to myself, "God, I can't wait until I'm twenty-one!" Also, my parents promised to take me there! What a great book! I would highly recommend this book! Laura is a character who you would definately want to read about and never want to forget!
