Entry Level

De: Scott Boss

Narrado por: Scott Boss

It’s 1990, and Leo Sanford has just been expelled from Central Baptist University for creating an explicit topiary of the female figure using a push mower on the front lawn of the quad. After a humiliating ride back to his hometown of Westshore, Michigan, his father suggests Leo join him as a traveling clothing salesman. As partners, they could travel around the Midwest in their wood-paneled station wagon with the mannequins, sporting the latest fashions, as backseat passengers.

Instead, Leo opts for an entry level job at All the Hits Video Rental. He spends his shifts covering for his boss’s irresponsible son and trying to work out his vacillating friendship with Tressa, a waitress with a popcorn addiction, who works at the diner next door.

During an especially dull shift, Leo finds an alien portal opening in the adult section of the video store, just behind the hanging beads. Defending himself with only a pair of rollerblades, he enters an alternate universe at war. To get back home, Leo must promise to act as a messenger between the worlds, and return again with a pack of Lucky Strikes and a box of Lemonheads.

Fun adventure read

This story was fun to read, with creative twists and unseen turns. The descriptive writting was entertaining, very funny with hints of nostalgia my generation can appreciate. Id often catch myself chuckling out loud. Ive read other books by this author and highly recommend. One of my favorite line in the book is the random reasoning the MFC wanted to grow up to be a mermaid! lol
