Title: Would be mildly amusing if published as fiction
Product review: Ben Cheever delights in toying around in the real world. I wish he would have had his little adventure then written a novel about it. It would make good light reading; a shallow tale of an immature spoiled rich kid in middle age that flirts with the dangerous real world and how he comes back none-the-wiser. By his admission it is an ersatz adventure. He feigns risk, hoping to enlighten us. Yet Cheever thinks he can ride the roller coaster and describe what its like to climb Mt. Everest. Why else would he publish it as non-fiction? If you have the desire to learn how difficult it is to live as a low-wage employee read Barbera Ehrenrich's "Nicked and Dimed."
