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!

Cheri Excellent review, Zoey, you definitely captured my attention!


message 4: by Ron (new)

Ron 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.

Thank you, Cheri. I think this one is going to see a lot of action here on Goodreads. :-)

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!
