A View From The Hot Tub: Conversations With My Grandson

Don't have room for a hot tub but could use a good laugh? Read this book!All Mike ever really wanted was to be the coolest guy in the room. Along comes Joey, and Mike's fantasy implodes. Whether they're soaking in the tub or eating another of what seems like an endless stream of cheese pizzas, Joey always manages to keep inflated self-notions just out of Mike's reach. This is what happens when my friend, now a doting grandfather goes toe-to-toe with a kid gifted beyond his years. Life in the Mallory household can be dangerous. Yes, there's love. Yes, there are poignant moments. There are also sharks in the tub, and everyone's up to their neck in hot water.Best entertained on life's edgy side, setting up encounters sharp enough to wound the weak and unsuspecting, the Mallory's aren't tender souls. But they are funny, so here's the deal; If you don't laugh out loud at least once between the opening paragraph and the last page return your copy, (to Mike), for a full refund!Tom Carroll - October, 2019
