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.
