It’s 1984 in Los Angeles. Jake Maldemer’s first book, Tales from the Back of a Bus, is a hit. It's a darkly comic, genre-bending roman à clef in which aspiring writer Jack Moses meets an odd little man name Kobold who keeps randomly feeding him handwritten horror stories as they travel across Los Angeles in the back of an RTD bus. Just as the life of Jake’s storybook-self gets stranger and more chaotic, so does Jake’s real life.

I really loved this book and the narrator was perfectly suited to tell the story.
I was getting echoes of "Inception". It's like a book within a book within a book, which provides for a very interesting story wrapped in multiple layers that I thoroughly enjoyed unraveling.
This book really made me think, which in my mind, is a hallmark of a great story. There are many parts that had me laughing out loud and others that I had to pause and really absorb and let it soak in.
The narrator's voice went well with the story and his accent of various characters contributed to my enjoyment.
The character development is done very well and I tried to get inside Jack's head, and Jake's head, and Kobold's head. Or were they one and the same? I'm still trying to piece it all together, but I know that I loved it.
There were some very beautiful, quotable observations in the book. One of my favorites is: "Books are a weakness that even Damon's fleet of doctors can't deprive me of. They strain nothing but my mind, contain no cholesterol or salt, and the ideas they hold displace the darkness of my mind."
Just beautiful! I loved everything about this and I highly recommend it. Give it a listen!
