First let me start by stating that I am in no way considered to be a book critic. However, I know what holds my interest and what does not. Having said that I recently had the opportunity to read, the James Ross book, Lifetime Loser. This book is the first in a series of 3 novels to date by Mr. Ross.

J.W. Schroeder (known as J Dub) is one shot away from getting the score he needs to become a member of the PGA Tour.

She questions the unstudied approach that J Dub is taking to such a crucial swing, while his suddenly swelling ego allows him to believe nothing can go wrong.

When J Dub (J. W. Schroeder) joins forces with Lew Zerrmann in ownership of a golf course he didn't know what he was getting into. It looked like J Dub had found his home at the Prairie Winds Golf Course even after years of deceit unfold.

It's been about twenty years since the last time I read a novel based around golf. The last one was the very funny The Greening of Thurmond by Michael Zagst (1986).
Lifetime Loser by James Ross covers roughly twenty years in the life of J. W. Schroeder or J. Dub to his friends. He is tricked into buying a share in an illegally purchased golf course after washing out of his own chance at a golf career. The rest of the book follows how the initial swindle plays out for all the parties i More...

Sarah Sammis sums up my feelings when she writes: "The book has its moments and J. Dub is a likeable character but the awkward written narrative gets in the way. Too much of the characterization is done by attributes alone. So an so is the "best at this" or "the worst at that" and frankly that's not enough to build interesting, believable or memorable characters. The book also suffers from weird mistakes involving incorrect word usage, poor grammar and general typesettin

Civil justice and criminal justice butt heads as a real estate swindle, forgery and fraud cause innocent victims to fight for their financial survival.
