"Gone Bodfishin" by David Clark Done is about Luke who decides to drop academia to move on to become a stuntman in a movie after meeting Al, a cab driver, that gave him a ride that used to be a stuntman. The setting is as a comic book so it has humor throughout the story. To find out if Luke made the right decision, I have put this on my "to read" list. Thank you for your descriptive review.

"Gone Bodfishin" by David Done is a story told in the format of a comic. Luke, who is a PhD. student, decides to go after a wild dream of becoming a stuntman. I like the risk-taking attitude of a character. The characters are well developed, and it is an interesting storyline. Thanks for a great review! It is indeed helpful. 😁

It is crazy to see that many people don't like "Changes". The truth is Change is the only constant I'm glad the main protagonist in this book chose to accept change when it was needed. Life is meant to be enjoyed and lived to the fullest and for someone to experience this, it means they have to love Change.

Gone Bodfishin takes us on Luke's adventure from professor to stuntman, with Al dreaming of a movie set. I wonder if it all works out!

I am very appreciate the character depth and engaging plot in "Gone Bodfishin'." Despite editing issues and unresolved subplots, the overall narrative kept me invested in Luke's pursuit of a thrilling new chapter.

I'm not one for comics but I must admit that the storyline is intriguing. I'm quite interested to see if Luke will be successful in being a stuntman and if he will return to his previous occupation. I think I'll give this a try. Thanks for an insightful review.

The premise of this book sounds amusing, but I don’t think I’d be able to look past editing issues and unresolved subplots personally…

The sample was pretty good. It features an intriguing plot about people trying to open a movie studio. The author did an excellent job making the story come to life.

Thanks for the review. I hope Luke finds being a stuntman more satisfying than pursuing a more academic career. You've definitely encouraged me to read the book to find out.

I think many of us are like Luke and would love to give up our current lives and do something different. I'm looking forward to finding out if Al's studio is legit and what becomes of them all. Thanks for the review.

Such a great book, but sadly lacks professional editing, I think authors out there need to take note of this (now) common issue. Thank you for your review.

This is just how dreams are born. If Luke and AI are very cooperative, they are set to establish a great thing. I'm looking forward to reading this book to see its end. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

An original and captivating storyline. If there was any progress between Luke and Al, it would be interesting to know. A well-written review from the OBC reviewer. Congratulations to the writer!
