About this ebook

Spokane, Washington, is nearly perfect for most people, but Jack Fitzpatrick is not one of them.

At twenty-two, he’s already too bitter to stay. Hours after graduation and armed with his final paycheck from his nemesis, Mrs. Pohlkiss, Jack heads for Southern California to prove that money does buy happiness. Thanks to a lucky run-in with a talent agent a few weeks earlier, Jack has loftier (and more lucrative) dreams than minimum wage in the basement of Nordstrom’s.

But once there, he learns that lofty dreams are a dime a dozen in the City of Angels. Broke, barely scraping by, and hating his life as a temp, L.A. is definitely not what Jack expected. But that doesn’t mean he’s going to bend over and give up—not yet. After reading “Best Paying Jobs of 1987” in Time magazine, he decides to go after the only one he thinks he has a shot at: institutional bond broker. Freaks I've Met is so funny, scathing and over the top, it must be totally true!

    A few pages into this tale, I decided it was an irreverent look at growing up. It is, but it's more than that. There is something to be learned in the sometimes raunchy, politically incorrect, sophomoric blending of words. There is a moral to the story.If you are easily offended, move on to another title. But, if you're an adventurous type, grab a copy and enjoy something a little different. Hang in there, it's worth it!By the way, don't let the amount of time I took on this book deter you. I got really sick for awhile, and had the attention span of a gnat. I just could not read. Reading this book is not a difficult endeavor, I was just distracted.

    I received this book in a giveaway. This is a wild ride of a story that takes place over a 4 year period. Jack Fitzpatrick has a grudge towards the world and he is determined to make his fortune, live a glamorous life and prove to the bitch who killed his dog that he can be someone! Things don't quite go as planned. We follow Jack as he takes the steps to make something of his life and find a peace within himself.

    I received a copy of this book in return for an honest review. For me it was just "OK". There were some funny parts but it reminded me a lot of the books written by Tucker Max just not as vulgar. It's a light read and pretty quick.

    This is a very fast read. Set in the 80's Jack moves to LA to become a model/actor. But things don't go the way he expected. With everything going on with Harvey Weinstein, there were several moments in the book where it was just what you think happens in Hollywood. Well written, entertaining and puts a spotlight that there are crazy people out there and people who will do anything to screw over others to make it rich.
