### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Intricately Designed Realistic Horror
  

*by A***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2024*

I felt a lot of tension reading this book, and it really kept my attention. Even though I can't relate to a lot of the decisions made by the characters, I can understand how they felt after having made them.

*by E***K on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2006*

Many people were disappointed by Smith's most recent novel, "The Ruins" (although I wasn't one of them) so I knew I had to read Smith's first novel to see how it compared.  The truth is there is no comparison that can be made as "A Simple Plan" is as far removed from "The Ruins" - genre-wise, story-wise, everything-wise- as a novel can be.  If there could be a true comprison made for this book, it would be Woody Allen's film, "Crimes and Misdemeanors."  That an author can write two such different novels AND succeed with both is an achievement.Smith is a damn good writer and this tale, a story as simple as Hank Mitchell's plan, is riveting.  There wasn't one point in this novel where I wasn't worried that if I turned the page, everything would come out in the open.  Between Hank's simple plan, his wife Sarah's murderous lucidity and the growing body count, there is never a dull moment.  I do confess that by the end of the book, I was starting to feel like the widening circle of death was getting a bit too extreme (for those who only know the film version of the novel, they diverge in a major way halfway through so the book will be a new experience) but at the same time, if I was Hank Mitchell, what would I have done?  That's a question I kept asking myself and still do.

    One of the best I've read in suspense
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2013*

Reading Scott Smith's "A Simple Plan" is like being on a train with no brakes. What starts out as a simple plan made by Hank, his brother Jacob and Jacob's best friend, Lou, turns into a complicated plot that leads to disaster as the conspiracy involves more and more people and more crime than their small town in Ohio has ever seen. The characters' behavior is shockingly unbelievable at times because these "nice, ordinary guys" had never been in trouble.  That was before they stumbled upon the wreckage of a small single-engine plane and a duffel bag behind the dead pilot that contained $4.4 million.The actions of the three men are so surprising because they're "normal guys."  Hank is an accountant at a feed store, married with a new little daughter, and although his brother is fairly poor and not ambitious, he had never been in trouble.  Lou drank a little too much, but he had a home and a girlfriend, but Hank had trouble trusting his brother and Lou.  The three stood around the plane trying to decide what to do, whether to turn in the money and report the plane, put the money back in the plane and say nothing, or keep the money.  It was just a simple plan that Hank came up with.  But things didn't go simply and as one disastrous act leads to another it becomes a complex story with actions by these three men that are hardly believable in the context of the story."A Simple Plan" is about what happens to people when greed, selfishness and jealousy take over and how people rationalize their greed with words and thoughts that disguise it and make it into something that seems acceptable to them. They even rationalize terrible acts of violence as being necessary for the good of someone else when that altruistic thought is still a crime.  These characters seem very real and the reader learns a lot about them over the course of the 416 pages that just fly by.  Scott Smith put the story together so that there isn't a single loose end left untied and the story flows at such a good pace that reading it is like watching it all play out in front of your eyes without skipping a beat. This is an excellent book and a wonderful debut novel (1993) of suspense that I really loved and enjoyed.  It took a lot of creativity, thought and talent to come up with this plot.The book is very dark in mood as is Scott Smith's other frightening book, 
  
The Ruins







  
  
    .He knows how to set the mood, introduce his characters and pace the book just right, and the writing is excellent.Highly recommended for suspense/mystery/thriller readers.
