The Financial Lives of the Poets

Author: Jess Walter
Stars: 4
Review by: Nancy W

This is a funny book about a 40 something journalist, husband and father, caught in the down economy of the recent recession, which doesn't sound like a funny subject. At first, it seems to be praising the usage of marijuana, since in the first chapter, the main character runs into some young adults and smokes with them. But, keep reading. There are some surprises and a moral at the end. I guess it is that anything can happen and you will survive.
