It's such a thrilling experience when you want something in life, and you found a way to make it true. This review of David Bone's 'Gone Bodfishin' wildly tells a vivid story of Luke an ordinary young man, and the clash of dreams and reality. Such a lovely story.

Luke is bored with his life and cannot see any fulfilment in his current path. After a chance encounter he heads into the desert to follow a different path, but what he finds is disappointing. I like the self-awareness of Luke and the fact that he is willing to go out and try something and put his effort into it. Some typos need editing.

What a great concept! Leaving everything behind to start anew in a rather unconventional way! Stuntmen’s life is certainly not the average life! Thanks for the review, it was very well written!!

I like the premise of this story. What an adventure! Leaving your comfort zone and taking risks to going after your dreams and pursue excitement and fulfillment. It would be interesting to see whether they succeed. But I usually avoid books that filled with profanity and sexual content. So I think I'll pass. Thank you for a nice review.

Luke decides to leave his academic job to become a stuntman, believing the words of Al, a cab driver he just met. This in itself is intriguing and interesting. A unique plot. Whether or not the movie set exists or if Al is genuine is something we need to find out when we read the book.

Thank you for this will written review. I read the first chapter of this book, and I was not immediately drawn in. However, your description of the plot as well as the characters has piqued my interest again. The editing did detract a little from my reading, but may give it another go. Great review!!

'Gone Bodfishin' by David Clark Done introduces Luke, a disillusioned history professor turned aspiring stuntman. The prospect of building a movie set with Al, a former stuntman, lures him into a thrilling journey.

Thank you for your thorough review. I appreciate your honesty. While I do enjoy comedy, I would also like to see some closure to his relationship with his girlfriend and a little more thinking about changing his career. I'm glad the errors didn't take away from the story, but it would be nice if the author did have it edited again. For now, I think I will pass on it, but sure many others will find it a good read.

Leaving everything to go after an interesting opportunity, this is essentially what this book brings us. Luke is a student who has a part-time job and one day a taxi driver offers him a great opportunity, and he decides to move forward. They tell a little about the lives of other characters and describe scenarios that make reading more enjoyable.

Al’s character is very mysterious and dubious so I’m very interested as to finding out how Luke’s life will be changed as they crossed paths. Will it be for the better or a life full of regrets?
