Review: Joe's Odyssey

Joe's Odyssey by Nick LaTorre
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

More like 3.5

I Stop correcting "received" a copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review

I was super excited to read this book. Stealing from a mob boss can never be good and of course makes for a great story.

Joe lives a boring life with a boring job and he is tired of it. When asked to go met a new client at a marina he tells his boss no. Of course he bows down and goes. Joe is shocked to find out that this new client is a mob boss on a huge boat with suit cases full of cash...

So what does one do in this situation. Push the boss off the boat and steal his money and boat right?!

This is where I thought the book was going to get really good. Sadly Joe goes to different places on the boat with a group of delinquent kids where they do a bunch of drugs and have sex with women. this is repeated over and over through out the book. I almost Did not finish but was to invested and wanted to know what was going to happen. I was looking for more excitement, or something really thrilling..... you stole a mobsters boat and cash....like something really exciting was bound to happen right?!

Even though the book was boring, it was VERY funny and had enough twist that i wanted to know how the book ended and just couldn't give up on it.

Solid 3.5 for pure entertainment value!
