The Reverie

by Jason Shprintz

Martin lost five thousand dollars, his job, and his girlfriend all in the same bet. She left him standing alone on the casino floor; his will to live left with her.

A bachelor party and a crass waitress named Janice stall his suicidal plan long enough for him to watch everybody else's world spiral out of control.

The night deals a hand where murder, robbery, and all-around mayhem are in the cards, and with it a path to redemption for Martin as he gambles with more than just money at The Reverie Casino.

A beautiful collection of prose reflecting on young adult life and experiences. Very introspective and thought provoking.

[Wheeler · Rating 2 out of 5]

The Reverie is written well enough and it uses an interesting narrative tool.
Neither of those qualities is near enough to save it from a boring, long-winded plot and pointless scenes. Really, it could have been a novella and not lost anything.

This book was received, free of charge, from the Goodreads First Reads program.

I really enjoyed reading this book, I'm so glad that I won it in a giveaway. It reminded me of a book version of the movie The Hangover. I think that everyone would enjoy reading this book! I will look forward to reading all new books by Jason Shprintz.
