The Invoice
Jonas Karlsson
The
narrator of this story is an ordinary guy with a part time job in a
video rental store. One day he gets an extremely large invoice that
he isn't expecting, so it must be a mistake of some kind. After all
how could he owe some bureaucratic office he had never heard of.
After ignoring the first invoice he receives a second, including a
late fee penalty which increases the invoice by an astronomical
amount.
It
turns out that it isn't a mistake. In fact, it turns out that nothing
in life is free, not the air he breaths nor any of the physical or
emotional experiences he's had. The more he gets drawn into a
bureaucratic maze the more he is unable to escape his past. But what
is the price of happiness and how will he pay? What happens if he
can't pay? Read along and find out as the author of this book
provides a hilarious well written tale that is entertaining as well
as thought provoking.
Thanks

exchange for an honest review.
