Boyne Falls Baroque John Baily DiskUs Publishing ISBN: 1-58495-473-6 Fiction, Contemporary Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

Brian Mercer’s life is a roller coaster ride. He got lucky when he landed a computer programmer job right out of college. His good luck and fortune increased dramatically when his stocks in the company made him a millionaire. With the fall of the NASDAQ, however, Brian lost everything and was back looking for work, any work. The endless search through dead end jobs leads Brian to a Thai restaurant owned by a Japanese family and Grandpa Sam who uses I Ching to predict the stock market.

Boyne Falls Baroque is one of those stories that is really hard to pin down to a single genre. This story contains sarcastic humour, ironic situations, and illustrates commentary-like comments on our world. However, this story also contains a somewhat racy love affair as well as a few aspects of mystery and intrigue. Combined, these aspects create a witty, entertaining, engaging story complete with realistic characters, some of whom the reader will probably recognise from their own life experiences.
