Timothy’s Take-Out Sets New Standard for the Humorous Novel
Okay, perhaps I’m exaggerating. But if it’s an entertaining diversion you seek, look no further – this novel is it!
(PRWEB) December 27, 2004 -- Timothy’s Take-Out should be prescribed, like
medication, to those who are ailing. Seriously; how can immersing yourself in
this weird and wonderful story not be good for you? At the risk of giving the
story away, here is a brief synopsis:
Carl Fellows is homely,
misanthropic, and a college dropout. All the guy needs to be completely
miserable is a job that he hates. His best friend Harvey, only too willing to
oblige him, suggests that he try for a position at “Timothy’s,” a popular fast
food joint in an idyllic resort town. Thrilled at the prospect of “summer at the
beach,” Carl agrees.
He lands the job, but is quick to realize the error
of his ways. The shy young fellow is flat-out miscast in his role as “personnel
manager” – his employees quickly run roughshod over him, as do the customers.
Only his love of an angelic co-worker keeps him from quitting and moving back in
with his parents.
He devises ways to cope, channeling his rage into some
pretty unlikely areas. Unfortunately, there is just no escaping that black cloud
over his head, even in the sanctity of his ramshackle beach house. In the face
of colossal failure and misfortune, Carl Fellows plods on…
The poor guy
manages to tick off some gang members, who proceed to wreak all kinds of havoc
in his life. Until, that is, they commit an act so unspeakably vile that it
rouses the sluggish Carl to action (and ultimately transforms his
destiny.)
Although based in part on author Paul J. Barker’s youthful
misadventures, Timothy’s Take-Out is an imaginative novel, and quite unique.
“Intriguing” would be the best way to describe both the characters and the
difficulties with which they are faced.
And how could a novel about a
fast food joint from hell be anything but howlingly funny?
