Fame and Fortune Tellers
by Todd Netland
This was a very intents and intriguing read that really gets
your attention with how fast he raises to stardom and the affect it has on his
life. We all want to make a lot of money, some of us want to be actors, singers
etc. If those dreams came true how would it affect us and those around us?
Would we be the same people we are today? Could we handle the fall out of
everything that comes to past and what choice would we make? For every choice
there must be consequences as these characters will come to find some are good
and some are bad. This is a story about one person, relationships,
friends the choices they make and how it will affect each of them.
The author gives great detail to each issue and scene
sometimes a little too much for my liking. You have no trouble understanding what
each character is going through and just what they are feeling. It is a Christian story that tells of the dark
side of fame and fortune as these characters try to find the best way to handle
what they have made of their life. I liked the writing style it is full of a
little of everything from drama, mystery and suspense that will really get the
reader thinking about their own life. I
really enjoyed the read and thought the author did a great job getting his
point across.

Summary
Todd Netland's book, "Fame and Fortune Tellers,"
is the story of one man's rise to the top, almost overnight, in the music
business. Randy Miller is a young choral teacher who encounters a spiritualist
at the tag end of a mini-vacation who prophesizes a sudden rise to stardom for
this school choir teacher. These predictions come true, but it turns out to be
a life of emptiness, joylessness, and conflict for Randy and his family. Other
characters enter into the story who all come together as the main plot and
subplots of the story thicken and unfold. Meet Brad Applebaum, a young
Christian who is very green in the things of the Lord and of life in general,
but very zealous about his walk with God. Pam Jackson is an on-fire Christian
and a true prayer warrior. Darryl Temple is a total loser who ends up
completely destroying his life. And then there is Eric Burns, leader of the
Communist revolutionary group, The Red Riding Rangers. This novel involves
choices of different people and how these choices have repercussions, both in
this life, and in the life to come.
