Resumen del Editor

Unlike most people who set goals for themselves, Alexander Myles had a very specific interpretation of success. His sister was a world-renowned neurosurgeon, and his brother was a highly decorated Navy F-18 pilot. While his siblings were undoubtedly among the best in their selected fields of expertise, all of that meant nothing to Alexander because, aside from their direct family members and closest friends, no one even knew who they were.

Although Alex had no idea which of his yet-to-be monumental achievements would be the one to launch him on his road to success, that was of little concern to him because the path was irrelevant, as long as the destination fulfilled his desire: to be famous.

When he sets out in search of his destiny, driving the 1968 Chevy Impala he inherited from his father, he discovers the car has a history all its own, and that there was a reason no one other than his father had ever driven it. As Alex reaches for his goals of fame and fortune, he finds love along the way, but there are those who live to turn his dreams into a nightmare that even a classic muscle car—known as The Black Phantom—cannot outrun.

Knowledge is Power

The storyline of this book reminds me of a famous saying that states, "Don't judge a book by its cover before you read the story within" because of the father. Alex sets out on a quest to be famous, but instead, he learns a few secrets that will change his life forever. I won't give out any spoilers, but I will say this just because you know someone your whole life does not truly mean you know who they really are. I found myself pulled into this story of adversity, tragedy, love, suspense, and resilience so much that I actually cried. The narrator did an amazing job bringing the story to life because I really felt the words. Famous is a MUST READ or LISTEN to for anyone who loves books that will have an imp5on how you look at the people around you. You will not be disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own volition.

A Story of Unexpected Fame (Not What You Expect)

This is not actually a story about people who are famous, but rather about people who SHOULD be. Adversity, tragedy, triumph, love, and forgiveness are all themes that are addressed and handled well in this novel, and the performance by Rodney Tompkins adds unexpected but welcome depth to an already deeply complex story!
