I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own. 

A group of employees must contend with unruly customers and the legendary Dave Bradley in author S. Atzeni’s “The Legend of Dave Bradley”, the fifth book in the One ’n Done series.

The Synopsis

This is a story that may be true, partially true, or not true at all.

But it still definitely happened.

An eclectic blend of experiences from the New Jersey Shop ‘NBag, a supermarket at the Jersey Shore, The Legend of Dave Bradley celebrates the horrors that only exist in customer service. 

Every day, the employees at the New Jersey Shop ‘NBag take care of customers, clean up the aisles, and try to maintain a personal life. They must also survive Dave Bradley’s very confusing yet effective reign of chaos over the store. Before long, they have to make an important choice: get distracted by Dave Bradley’s antics or get back to work? The answer is obvious.

The Review

This was a short yet powerful and humorous read. The short fiction style of storytelling played well into this narrative. The set-up for the story initially grabbed my attention, as the narrator makes numerous attempts to quantify the validity and reality of the presented story, allowing the author’s wit and unique writing style to shine brightly.

The atmosphere played a significant role in the story. The setting not only brought a sense of reality and relatability to the narrative but how the author captured the experiences so many people in the customer service industry have daily was so engaging and added an outstanding balance to the creative storytelling that the book was building into.

The Verdict

A quick, entertaining, and humorous read, author S Atzeni’s “The Legend of Dave Bradley” is a must-read short fiction read. The witty and imaginative writing style the author brought and the compelling narrative will keep readers wanting more from this fantastic author.
