Publisher's summary

Brandon Merryweather is a young man with two passions in life: numbers and the written word. Brandon makes his living crunching numbers and unwinds by reading a good book.

One morning, when Brandon steps out of the front door of his Manhattan apartment building, he hears a clap of thunder and sees a flash of blue light. Brandon closes his eyes in fear and when he opens them, he finds himself in Greedy Gulch, the 1880s boomtown from the novel he is reading. The people of that world call him the new Tale Spinner and expect him to finish the tale because the author of the Mojave Kid Series died before finishing the work.

The lines separating fiction and reality blur as Brandon is teleported back and forth between New York City, outer space, and Los Angeles of the 1940s. Finally, too terrified to leave his apartment in New York City, the characters from the land of fiction pay Brandon a visit.

Couldn’t even finish it

The story had an interesting concept (being transported into different book stories) but it didn’t deliver. I think mostly it was the reading as it detracted from the story and drove me nuts.

It's like getting four books for the price of one

The Tail Spinner has your attention the whole time. You start with one story and it leads you to the next one. You're always wondering what's next and what the outcome will be. You become immersed in the characters lives and thoughts. Definitely a good read.
