Timothys Take-Out: Tasty, Addictive, and Value For the Money
Timothys Take-Out" is forging a place for itself in the hearts and minds of new millennium readers. Not because its trendy, not because its hyped, but because it is good.
(PRWEB) June 23, 2005 -- Paul J. Barker is a strange breed of author. He doesnt particularly care how many books he sells, and writes what he wants to write (usually at a snails pace.) The result is quite often an eccentric gem, destined to be remembered long after more conventional works turn to dust.
Needless to say, it took Barker a while to complete his first novel. Timothys Take-Out" is the story of a small man with a big Napoleonic Complex, whose life is dominated by hatred, particularly of his job. And is it any wonder -- he works at one of the loudest, gaudiest, most grossly mismanaged fast food joints in existence. (Yes, Timothys Take-Out!) Shy and withdrawn to begin with, the young man really starts to unravel after a few months exposure to obnoxious customers and irresponsible employees.
Despite its pessimistic tone, or perhaps because of it, Timothys Take-Out" is a very funny novel. Its great fun to witness spirited little Carl Fellows -- a born loser if ever there was one -- attempt time and time again to rise above his pathetic station in life. He may not be good looking, he may not be talented, but he exemplifies never-say-die tenacity.
Paul J. Barker is as much an underdog as his chief protagonist. His debut novel is doing battle with books (from established authors, out of prestigious publishing houses) receiving ten times the publicity his is, or more. Yet Barker continues to go his own maverick way, unfazed, secure in the knowledge he is as good as anyone at what he does.
