Laugh at divorced dad Austin Carr, a funny, oversexed scamp who’ll do anything to get his kids back. Think Bugs Bunny with guns and a pe**s.
Divorced dad Austin Carr wakes up every day in a beat-up camper, parked on someone else’s private property. Why? Because his alimony and child support payments were established by New Jersey’s family court system when his income was double, and for the last two years he has failed to earn the legally mandated monthly nut. He’s had his savings drained, his Maxima repossessed, his salary attached, and his visiting rights suspended. He bought the twelve-year-old Chevy pick-up with the rusty camper for $800 last month because another landlord tossed his butt in the street. Will stretching the rules, his own morals, and the boundaries of common sense raise the cash needed to get his kids back? Or will his big mouth and bad behavior set him up for a nasty double-cross? See if Austin can redeem himself and win back his children.

My Review:
This book reminded me of The Truman Show with Jim Carrey. I am saying this because everything happens to Truman, and it seems that everything happens to Austin. He is at rock bottom. The only way to save himself is to get money. The only was to get money is from the wife of someone he knows. He does not realize that this will only make things worse. Stock brokers cost people money every day, and Austin has even more people after him. I found myself wondering who was going to get him first. I also laughed a lot as well. Being capsized by a fish is only the beginning. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
