Don't Get Caught by Kurt Dinan

4.0

An enjoyable mix of The Breakfast Club and Ocean's Eleven for today's generation. While not as laugh-out-loud funny as anticipated, it is an extremely fun read. Max is a great, relatable protagonist, and his fellow Water Tower 5 members are fleshed out to the perfect degree and add plenty of flavor to the story through their distinct personalities. I predicted several twists along the way, but I like how Dinan skillfully holds back pieces of information from his readers only to surprise them with it later, and pulls tricks from up his sleeves right until the very last page. The various pranks pulled within this book are meticulous, creative and sometimes downright devious. Although the ending is nearly flawless, I was left craving even more from these characters and world.
