The Burglar Who Met Fredric Brown by Lawrence Block


Mr. Block has a great imagination.  I enjoy his work.

He sent me a copy of this ebook to read and review (thank you).  You can get in ebook form now.

Bernie and his friend, Carolyn, have quite an adventure in this tale.

Bernie was reading a book about a different planet and when he woke up he was on a different from normal earth.  Luckily Carolyn was there, too.

They found eBay and Amazon missing.  Whenever he needed one, he got a cab.  He met people who already died on earth and had a nice time visiting with them.

Bernie is a thief and he had a diamond he wanted to steal.  The man who owned it was not very nice and he told everyone where he kept it.  So Bernie decides he wants it.  It's worth a lot of money.  It's good thing he's in another world because the fence that died on earth still lived and he could use him to sell it.  He took the money offered and shared it with Carolyn.

It doesn't take long and they are back on earth.  They still had their money.

Then the man who had the diamond bodyguards, the bodyguards showed up dead, one in Bernie's apartment.

You never know where the story is going to go and that makes it more fun to read.
