Fame and Fortune Tellers



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.
