The friend devises a complex plan to steal and abscond with millions of dollars from the protagonist, costing him not only the actual money, but his business, his homes, his property, his beloved boat, his wife and his confidence. While the principal character ventures off to the tropics in a state of shock, the reader also learns about the villain who perpetrated the crime, and his misadventures as he attempts to further his escape, and as he tries to assume what he thinks his victim's life used to be. The differences between their views of how great wealth effects ways of living are beautifully conveyed. This is a good read, intelligently thought out, and it makes the reader eager to read Nvm Thomas' next adventures. I really enjoyed this book.

Feel in love with the characters especially Nick. A book is special when it brings out emotions. This book has it all and draws you in from the beginning to end and you want more.

Patrick Livanos Lester wrote a very engaging read with Flat Broke in Paradise. I sat next to Patrick on a flight where we discussed many of his talents, including writing books. He told me about this book. I just finished it tonight and I must say it was a terrific read and we need more!

Terrific yarn. Great visuals of Hawaii and the Pacific islands of Tahiti. Brings back fantastic memories. Loved the characters and the theme of starting over.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it. The next Nick Thomas Adventure is set for release in 2019.
