A rather random book that I never quite got properly into. I've picked it up and put it down several times but it's still never floated my boat.

In Armageddon Two-step, Shelby saved the world and was given a bunch of money to keep quietly vague about it. Though, of course, he was the most famous man in the world...which was a big step-up from his last gig flipping burgers at Mickey-Ds. But in modern society, fame is fleeting and Shelby is feeling lonely. What does the world’s savior do for an encore?

I was hoping for more magical realism and less philosophy in Armageddon Two-step. In a world where entire families are rich and famous for being rich and famous, I don’t think the plot was absurd enough. However, literary fiction readers may like it. 3 stars.

Thanks to Redbat Books and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

This was such a great read! The author really captured the connections between celebrity and corporations and the impact they have on our society.

This is quite good. The author is obviously talented. He writes a clever plot with smarts and humor, and very good use of language. This includes a nice cast of well-written characters and entertaining situations. Recommended.

I really appreciate the NetGalley and Redbat Books advanced copy for review!!
