2.3 2.3 out of 5 stars 186 ratings
This mystery-suspense novel is set on a major American university campus and in Las Vegas. Many of the characters, from the professor of critical thinking to the shy freshman to the strange and secretive roommate, all want to use reason to negotiate their world and resolve their life challenges. But then, what does it mean to be reasonable, anyway? And does reason have its limits?

    I chose one star because there was nothing lower. This book was presented with other novels by Robert Harris. Don't be conned. I tried to fin out if it was THE Robert Harris, having just finished "An Officer and a Spy"...a great book. Don't waste you time or money on "The Million Dollar Girl". This was not writtten by the great Robert Harris.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Editing errors on electronic
    Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    There are significant editing issues in the electronic edition. In two places the page couldn't be turned, simplybrepeating the same page over and over, necessitating skipping ahead, then backing up to the page in question and finding the right sentence in the middle (not the beginning) of the page. The book was enjoyable, a few places where the writing sagged, either stylistically or with grammar/syntax. Good storyline, marginal editing.

    didnt really get into this book, felt too much religious influence, and to much wasted time that was everyday and just seemed to take up pages. The over all story line was good, it just seemed to take a long time to get there and had to sift thru all the other stuff.
    Dissapointing for a Robert Harris for me.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    several times I looked at the description of the book to check whether this was not meant as a children's book. the characters are unbelievably and therefore annoyingly naive. The writing is at times pompous and the , what I suspect are meant to be philosophical or psychological observations are infantile. Besides all that, I hate being asdressed as "dear reader" in a 21st century novel.

    I kept hoping it would get better, so I read the entire book. It didn't. I didn't care about the characters and the plot seemed contrived, yet clunky.

    Enjoyable read but not on the scale of Robert Harris' other books, each of which left me waiting for the next one.

    Good descriptive writing of places and people but I knew there was going to be a 'twist' and I wasn't surprised when
    I was right.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Don't be misled - the author is American Robert A. Harris not by the English Robert Harris

    I would strongly recommend reading a good book from the Robert Harris such as An Officer and a Spy, which was an excellent read, based on historical event's. Following on from this book I decided to buy the Million Dollar Girl, which I thought was from the same author. In fact it is by Robert A Harris according to the copy right.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A heartwarming read
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Robert Harris skilfully breathes the semblance of real life into his writing and his first novel, unpublished until recently, is no exception. The college theme, though not a hit with the usual thriller audience perhaps, lends itself to an enjoyable pleasant book that kept me and my husband reading and interested to the end, exploring the difficulties of distinguishing reality from imagination, surface from substance, in a computerised world growing daily in its fantastic complexity, asking whether it matters, what is reality anyway... I sometimes found the dialog between students Amy, Matt, Mackayla and Tina, a little long, when it barely added grit to the story, but even then, well constructed, it was an entertaining read. I should have preferred to dwell on an awkward confrontation between the self-satisfied self-important Professor Mark Miller and the FBI at the end, rather than end the section on its unresolved cliffhanger. I should have liked also to savour Miller's reaction to the personally devastating scam, the central action of the story, rather than have it revealed via a third party, Amy's detective father. As always in Robert Harris's work, there is much to like thematically and well-drawn characters to identify with.
