“Living the Dream” Book Review

I am an avid book reader.  My first love is mysteries quickly followed by really anything that is fiction.  I recently was able to review a book called “Living the Dream” by Tim Baker.  First a little about the author:

Time Baker was born and raised in Warwick, Rhode Island.   In his spare time he enjoys a wide variety of activities including sports of all kinds, music, photography, model building and , of course, writing.

“Living the Dream” is a semi-humorous crime story about a loser named Kurt who thinks that his ticket to Easy Street lies in a half-baked kidnapping plot.  After the road trip from hell he arrives in Florida to find that Vicky, his intended victim, is out of town.  Vicky’s husband, Jimmy, is thinking of divorcing her and probably won’t pay the ransom anyway.  And Leslie, Jimmy’s mistress, wants a piece of Kurt’s action.  Just to make matters worse, Kurt has a bookie, a biker and an ex-Navy SEAL all wanting a piece of his hide.  Kurt has no idea that kidnapping was such hard work.  His plan might work if it doesn’t get him killed first.

My take:  Be warned…this is not a book to leave lying around children who are able to read.  The language is very strong and violence is abundant.  That being said it is a very easy read and makes you wonder about circumstance and chance.

“Living the Dream”  can be purchased for $16.95 here.
