Steve Berman loses his job just before a visit to his parents in Florida. En route, though, he's offered a new one, with a developer building a shopping center at the edge of the Everglades. Comic complications ensue with the craziness of his cousins, the Blatnicks, and the equally zany construction crew.
This is a laugh-out-loud comic novel about Jewish family relationships and shopping mall construction.
Ebook Addict reviews writes: " I started the book and got caught up in Steve Berman's life, I found that putting the book down left me itching to get back to it... NOW! And funny? Oh dear heavens yes... in fact there were so many times that I was not only laughing out loud, but long and loud, that I was starting to get concerned looks thrown my way. Even now thinking of some of the antics that the various members of the Blatnick family - related by marriage kind of relatives - would get up to has me chuckling."
"Once again Neil Plakcy has shown that his storytelling abilities are very wide-ranging. His books cover anything from mysteries that never end the way you - okay I - think they will, to sexier-than-hell man-lovin' romantic adventures. Then there are the sharp turns to his character-driven tales, long or short, that will entrance and, like his other stories, vastly entertain. I've not read one story, one book, one novella by this author that hasn't been at the very least, enjoyable. I highly recommend anything by Neil but Invasion of the Blatnicks is a terrific book with which to start an acquaintanceship with Plakcy's writing."
