Book Description

November 21, 2006
Life is supposed to be a mixture of good times and bad. However, things don’t always work out that way. Sometimes, there are periods in our lives where everything goes wrong, and just when it seems things couldn’t possibly get worse, they do.

Tyler Patterson, a middle-aged Stanford-educated attorney, is experiencing such a time in his life. Through a series of disastrous events, unscrupulous partners and corrupt politicians have stripped him of everything he worked a lifetime to achieve: his career, his possessions, even his reputation. Tyler’s life plummets further as he is involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward.

However, these incidents also launch Tyler on a personal odyssey through a world of odd, sometimes humorous, sometimes dangerous, characters, experiences, and events: each one offering an unexpected lesson about life and its meaning.

Tyler soon discovers that he isn’t alone on his journey, making the outcome anything but certain, and the stakes nothing less than Tyler’s own life or death.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth on Governor Richardson!, May 28, 2011
This review is from: Committed (Paperback)
First, one need only google Mr. Tym's national rating as a Corporate Finance Attorney to know he is writing with knowledge and expertise on the dirty politics in NM as well as those in a notable large law firm in the Midwest. What is astonshing is that there is enough factual information in this, particularly given what has happened in NM in terms of the massive kick-back schemes and people landing in jail,to land any one besides a powerful politican, on the front pages of the NY Times and then in prison. As a long time resident of the state, I found it a very informative read, albeit graced with obvious protection for the author himself. Still, it is very clear who he is writing about.

It is worth noting that while Mr. Tym may not have a style of writing that will attract readers for the read itself, it is clearly an extremely well thought out, researched piece trying to make the goings on of our state politics more transparent. Anyone interested in more transparency and who wonders where the money in their own state goes when teachers, police and everyone else suffers financially crippling times, should READ THIS!
