Hollywood Payback by Jon Lindstrom

With the authorities closing in and more lives on the line, there’s only one way out, for himself and the people he cares about: revenge.

In Hollywood Payback by Jon Lindstrom, Jake Ferguson threw his life away more than two decades ago, and he’s done his time behind bars. Now, as he re-enters society, he realizes the world has changed vastly since he was last free. And now, all he wants to do is settle into a quiet life. It’s just too bad that other people have alternate plans for Jake. So, what’s he going to do about it?

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My thoughts on Hollywood Payback:

I didn’t expect to like Hollywood Payback as much as I did, but Jake became a likeable character pretty quickly, and I liked how we saw him in present day, and then also in the early 2000s.

I really think this would be a great crime movie, and I’m not surprised, since Lindstrom himself is an actor, director and screenwriter on top of being an author. So, Jon, care to comment? We going to get a movie out of this?

I’m definitely going to go back and read his first book, Hollywood Hustle, because that one also sounds great and I clearly like his style of writing.

Now, if you’ve read his other book already, I’d love for you to comment and let me know what you thought!

Question of the day:

But for those of you who haven’t, here’s a question for you: Do you like the books that almost read like a movie? Let me know!
