From cereal box sweepstakes to backyard get-rich-quick schemes, our antihero chases a million dollars with the charm of a rogue and the morals of a raccoon.”Personally,” he admits, “I’ve found I’m more prosperous when I lie, cheat, and steal.” You see, we’ve all been caught up in that chase: more money, more status, more validation. And I’m no different…”But he is different, because he dared live an unlikely life in a society that punishes those who try it.” — Publishers WeeklyIn the end, one question remains:In a game rigged for the rich, can you beat the system—or will it beat you?Early Critical Acclaim: “This is a raucously funny book, with raffish prose full of self-deprecating humor regarding the distance between exalted pretensions and awkward reality… The result is a luminous tribute to the inestimable value of not quite getting what you want.” — Kirkus Reviews (Verdict: Get it!)”The combination of memoir with a perceptive judgment of America’s often-empty vision of success is powerful.” — Publisher’s Weekly / BookLife Prize Score: 9.5 out of 10“Readers who may have thought Catcher in the Rye and other coming-of-age stories held wry humor along with insights will find these classics must take a step back for contemporary authors such as Luke Stoffel.” — Midwest Book Review (Reviewer’s Choice)—A Mostly True Misadventure: This novel is based on real-life events.
