The Traders Club Jim Dreis

Reading this book comes with a warning. Fits of laughter and somber moments of shaking your head are sure to occur, as the book is chock-full of characters and situations to keep the most discriminating reader amused. Imagine if you will: an immature, wealthy male chauvinist weasel; a paranoid schizophrenic who functions well when he's on his medication but not when he's not; an overweight fixer-upper whom clients rave about; a sleight-of-hand mortgage broker; a wealthy do-gooder who gets his pockets picked; a devious guy with a pet macaw named Peety; a multi-tattooed hard-ass; a naïve young agent just off the farm; a Southern belle; and a character named The Critter--all packed into one book. A more colorful group of real estate practitioners you won't find, though unfortunately, their quest for wealth is often waylaid by their idiosyncrasies, which add notably to the humor and drama. Enjoy. I enjoyed writing it. Jim Dreis
