Customer Reviews

Great read for a cross-country flight

The author uses his quick wit, dry sense of humor and flair for writing to describe what many of us go through after suddenly being shown the door after years of dedication at a company. But he doesn't harp on the issue and quickly moves on to many other of life's imperfections and brings to life some incredibly colorful characters and places. A quick read that leaves a lasting memory. Great for those who are hard pressed to actually get to the last chapter of any book.

Funny and Charming

This is a fun, quick read with memorable charaters and funny situations. The ending is a nice twist and overall it represents a fantasy we have all had at one time or another.

Witty and Wacky

Ray Zardetto's parody showcased his witty sense of humor, wacky world (other worldly) view and a talent for painting a scene. This was a light, fun read -- a pleasing surprise from this first-time author. His funny jokes and dialogue, well-described characters and ending twist made it a new favorite. Can't wait to read more.
