Didn’t Like It Rated 2 stars “This buck—twenty bucks to be exact—doesn't stop here. It gets generously handed to a street person, gets stolen, given as a tip more than once, and used as taxi fare.

  “Author: Elmore Hammes // What a great concept for a book! The author follows the path of a $20 bill as it changes hands in more ways that I could have ever thought of. A vignette is devoted to each recipient of the bill, while they have it in their possession. What a mix of humanity!! Fascinating read that will make you ponder some things about life. Very creative! ”

  “This was not very exciting but was somewhat entertaining just meeting all the people and seeing why the bill moved on and for what. That is, if it had skipped the religious stuff...not for me.
  
  It had a number of errors: wrong word form, missing hyphens, extra letters, misused words, missing words, misspelled character name (no-no!), off of (non-standard), and odd phrases like "...shrug my head..."? List available.
  
  The font was unusually large, I had to click down one for the usual look, but the format of it was otherwise ok for a change.”

  “An interesting multiple narrative which offers the stories of many and varied characters who are bound by the simple fact that they have each, at some point, owned the same twenty dollar bill. As the note travels through towns and across borders you get to see every walk of life.”
