Book Review by Jane
Hal Jam is an incredible guy. Nothing sticks to him, except a little honey.
He has a publicist and is set up to make a fortune on a best selling book
with a contract for writing another one. Everyone is in awe of him and
his soft spoken and unpretentious, wise attitude in life. But, he may
be on borrowed time—as someone from his recent past is closing in
on him.
This book takes a satirical look at ambitious people and the driving
forces behind the institutions that support wealth and fame. It is absolutely
laugh out loud funny. Being written in the mid-1990s, you can see a lot
of references to people, named and unnamed, and events that have come
to pass.
