Publisher's Summary:

Joe Johnson was an ordinary bloke with an ordinary life, until his world was turned upside down when the unbelievable and most unlikely happened. He won the national lottery!

But he didn't want money to buy him love, not at any cost.... Overnight, Joe went from practically penniless despair to living life in the fast lane with 10 million to his name. From then on it was nothing but the best; it looked like Joe had it all. But despite the jet set lifestyle there was one thing missing in his life; true love.

Since his win, a string of intense yet failed relationships had hurt Joe (not to mention his wallet) very badly. A wiser (yet poorer!) man, Joe met and fell head-over-heels in love with Lisa, a beautiful blonde who took his breath away. This time around, he was determined not to be made a fool of, so to ensure Lisa would love him for who he was, not his bank balance, Joe hatched an incredible plan to test her love for him; he'd pretend to be broke and steel himself for her reaction on discovering that she had been deceived. What followed reads like a fairy-tale.

The lengths to which Joe went to keep his secret are amazing he even made Lisa pay the bills and took her on a holiday from hell to a cockroach infested apartment! But the outcome of the tale was more sensational than Joe could have ever imagined.

The Secret Millionaire is a heart-warming and hilarious tale, and the story of Joe is one of the most astonishing you will ever listen to. Perfect for lottery winners and non-lottery winners alike!

Did not enjoy this book.

Any additional comments?

I did not enjoy this book at all. The author seems more intent in telling how much money he had spent and on what than anything else. There is a story in there and it is interesting but spoiled by the constant reminder of the money he had spent.

Title: Rabbit in the Jungle

Author: Anthony Alegrete, Holly Baker

Narrator: Anthony Alegrete

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-13

Publisher: The Jump Publishing Company

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Rabbit in the Jungle tells a classically American story of second chances, hard work, and hope. Sometimes raw and gritty, the book traces Anthony Alegrete's rise from the streets of Los Angeles, through the penal system, to the halls of academia and the competitive business world of Las Vegas. Along the way he had a lot of fun, a little trouble, and learned a few lessons. This book shares his story in a way meant to be cautionary and inspiring. Alegrete wants others to know the important role that family, friends, and education play in keeping their lives on the right track.

The title for the book comes from Anthony's ability to survive in multiple dangerous environments. With more tricks than Bugs Bunny and more charm than Roger Rabbit, he navigated the street culture of Los Angeles during the heyday of West Coast hip hop; navigated safely through prison politics; built a reputation for himself at the University of Nevada - Las Vegas and partnered up with local fitness experts to bring a trendy gym to the downtown area of Vegas. In all of these jungles, there were threats to be dealt with, and Alegrete always met them head on. At an early age, he learned not to let fear stand in the way of what he wanted. No matter what the problem, he's a master at taking stock of his resources and plunging ahead.

Anthony Alegrete portrays his struggles and achievements with heart in full view on the proverbial sleeve and his energy level locked in at and turbo-charged. With co-author Holly Baker he has crafted a must-listen for anyone fighting their way through the jungle.

Streets of Los Angeles, Penal System and Halls of Academia

.

Anthony Alegrete describes in his book the rough neighborhoods of Los Angeles, interactions with gang violence, police chases, prison riots, drug dealing and repercussions of street snitches. He met rap artists, criminals, celebrities, CEO's, academics, people dedicated to good causes in non-profit organizations and everyone in between.

.

His book describes a life, a thriller author could have come up with. Most important of all, he shows that there is always a way out, how he learned to make better decisions, into a life with a cause and how important family and friends are. His book is meant to be motivation and encouragement for young people to do the right thing and stay away from gangs, drugs and crime.

.

He tells them that struggles are never excuses to be complacent and not to do anything about circumstances, not to sit idly hoping for change. And that's exactly what he did, he survived and in this book he gives a kind of road map how someone can turn negatives into a positive way of life.

The book starts with a prison riot, explains in the next chapter why imprisoning is not working, that it is in fact a training ground and network for further criminal pursuits, often gets inmates even deeper into shady worlds. They become hardened and desensitized.

.

How someone can overcome incarceration is also part of this book. Alegrete advices: "The key to rehabilitation is investing in yourself. Educational programs, reading, reading and more reading. And exercise.

Members Reviews:

Very enjoyable read...

A friend suggested that I read this book, and I'm glad I took his advice. As a former professional fly-fishing guide myself, I found the essence of the author's philosophy about life and its existential connection to our sport to be spot on. The writing is skilled, the story compelling, and the word pictures expressive and convincing. The only reason I gave the Blackest of Canyons four stars, rather than five, is that there just wasn't enough of it! I look forward to reading more of this fine author's work.

Fly-Fishing-Living the Good Life

This lovely story reads as a tutorial of the art of fly-fishing interwoven with the threads of family love and legacy. Beautiful language is used to describe the places and the feelings that will forever be etched in the author's mind and heart. It is also a testimonial to a father's mark on his son, as he passes the torch of his beloved sport to the next generation. If one has never fly-fished themselves or visited these hallowed places along the Willamette River in Oregon, one can almost feel the rod & reel in their hands and the waders around their legs, as they are caught up in the vivid imagery and the sights and sounds of the region. Steeped in family history, with touching vignettes of the author's dog Smokey and the shared love of the sport with his wife, it is a great read!

Father and son fly fishing in Oregon

This is an excellent story of the relationship between father and son. The writing style is informal and entertaining. It uses the family tradition of fly fishing in remote Oregon to weave together a number of incidents which ultimately forged the bond of love and respect between the two.

This is a seven-month journal written in Haiku style poetry, from April to November, 2002. I got the idea from Dr. Angeles Arrien, who suggested writing down what we'd learned each day from her workshop by using Haiku. I kept at it for 7 months after attending the workshop, "capturing" each day's journey and lessons learned using Haiku. A great way to journal!

Now the editor and founder of the immensely popular blog, Gardenista, she needs the money more than ever. Hence this compendium of never-told anecdotes about her life in Northern California.
