Book review for 'Johnny Real Estate' by Nick Tory

This is my review for 'Johnny Real Estate' by Nick Tory:


Review ‘Johnny Real Estate’ by Nick Tory

 

Johnny Real Estate by Nick Tory is an episode in a series titled Legitimate Job Trilogy.  As keeping with what this reviewer has observed of the author’s work, this novella tells of the adventures, or misadventures, experienced by the knockabout anti-hero, Johnny Tee.

 

As the name suggests, the ne’er-do-well Johnny ventures into the world of real estate, which some would consider an already maligned profession with disreputable operators, so Johnny should find his niche.  The story does not disappoint, as Johnny uses Machiavellian tactics to sell properties previously considered unsellable in his quest to earn a Blue Jacket, which is considered the Holy Grail for all realtors employed by the agency.

 

Tory writes in a fluent style with a tongue-in-cheek tone, and his story is delightfully non-didactic as the reader follows Johnny through amusing scrape after amusing scrape.

 

Johnny Real Estate is available for Amazon.com, and this reviewer is looking forward to reading more adventures from, to use a hackneyed phrase, ‘this loveable loser’.

 

Four out of five.
