A dream come true is a fine thing. Bug Montage has worked hard to turn his errant life around. He's happily married with kids, lives in a doublewide trailer, and operates a small successful mechanic shop. After a series of unfortunate events, he stands to lose everything. There's that dream turning into a nightmare. Bug makes a decision he can't take back, and he's in trouble deep. Tough, gritty, and full of some stellar metaphors. Get ready for a wild ride. Man, oh man, can that dude drive!

Zoey, I'm so intrigued after seeing so many glowing reviews, including yours. This sounds like one I'd like too :)

Thank you, JanB. You're right, there are lots of people really liking this one. I'll be keeping an eye on the author for future reads, that's for sure. Hope you try it and like it!

Excellent prose you put down Zoeytron. I can't recall a written driving scene (versus film) that excited me, so the writing of that must be well done.

The fact of the matter is that I have zero interest in much of anything concerning cars, but I think it would be safe to say there is a driving scene in this one that might stay with you. It gave me a cramp in my neck. The author made it real. Thanks, Ron!
