The Book of Jake

After Jake’s wife, Tess, kicks him out of the house, he’s forced to face his selfish hedonistic ways. To win her back, Jake turns to the Book of Proverbs and begins steering a course toward righteousness, maturity and redemption. Then Roger calls. It’ll take a lot more than ancient allegory to get Jake through the ensuing odyssey of brutal murder, betrayal and extortion with sadistic drug dealers, vicious Rottweilers, and a lot of generally annoying people to keep him company.The Book of Jake reads like Steve Lerner retained the combined DNA of Woody Allen and James M. Cain.
