Description:
Dennis “Doom” Lewis is a small-time conman who paid a big-price: a five-year prison sentence for forging a novel by Eleanor Roosevelt that became an international bestseller. He gets an early release to attend his crooked father’s funeral…and discovers that he’s inherited a sailboat and a Florida town that’s sinking into the sea.
But the town is on prime real estate that two warring developers want badly enough to have already killed his father for and will go to outrageous lengths to snatch away from him. Dodging bombs, corrupt cops, and crazed killers, Doom teams up with a Nyquil-chugging history professor, two documentary film-makers named Anne, and a drop-dead-sexy scuba instructor and her Seminole grandmother in an elaborate plot to swindle the swindlers and save himself from fatally living up to his nick-name.
Rating: 1 star (Did Not Finish)
Review:
Have you ever read a book that immediately put you off? Well, that's how I felt about this book. I couldn't connect with the story and I also wasn't fond of the humor because it didn't strike me as being funny.
Maybe this just wasn't for me because nothing was capturing my attention while I was reading this. So, I figured why keep reading.
