If you like subtle, self-depricating humor, you'll love Death by Leisure. Chris Ayres' tale of getting caught up in the fast, lavish lifestyle of Los Angeles is a great read. Ayres is a master storyteller. His escapades are reminiscent of Hunter Thompson's. But unlike Thompson, Ayres comes across as completely human. His failed efforts to get invited to the right parties, get the hottest girl and drive the fastest car will endear any reader.
