Being called the New York Survival Guide

I haven’t thrown out any good reads lately so after finishing “The Birthday Party: A memoir on Survival” I had to do a quick post.

The story isn’t fiction. This is the account of Stanley Alpert, an federal prosecutor in New York City, who was kidnapped and later released. I have to admit it isn’t the best literature in the world, but it is a story that you can’t put down and keeps you turning pages. Now on the New York Times Best Seller’s list, this book captures the curiosity and imagination of every urbanite.

What might happen to me? what are the risks I live with in the Big Apple (or other big cities). I think all these New Yorkers really are treating it as a survival guide to see what they should do. Sorry to disappoint you folks, but the bad guys are probably reading it too. Either way…. It’s just a fun read with enough interesting and entertaining characters to keep the story rolling nicely.
It is downright scary what goes on in some of the biggest cities in the world or those with the most crime. And it is certainly scary to think of being in the position that this story depicts, having your life in someone else’s hands.

Planning a spring break and need something to read on the beach…. take this and you will be glad to be sitting in the sun. You can read more and pick up the book here. Glad I’m in Denver.
