Book Description

June 1, 1977 Penguin crime fiction
A likeable but rather hapless young man decides he’s tired of small-time games and attempts to break into the big league. However, he finds himself woefully out of his depth and ends up caught out in an ingenious back-firing murder conspiracy. Entertaining and full of suspense, Symons’ plot has enough twists to keep you guessing right until the final thrilling conclusion.

4.0 out of 5 stars starts slow, but finishes strong, October 27, 2007
By 
Michael Dea (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
'The Man Whose Dreams Came True' tells the story of Tony Jones. A petty thief,rake and chronic liar, Tony is always looking for the next big thing to put him on easy street, whether it is winning at gambling or meeting an attractive girl with a rich father. Symons presents Tony's story sympathetically. Tony has daydreams and schemes to make them reality but is not the brightest bulb on the tree. The book starts slowly and I kept waiting for Tony to descend from petty thievery to outright murder, but when the murder actually occurs it was not what I expected. The rest of the story is a page turner.

Searching through my bookself for something to read, I came across this book, by an author I'd never heard of. This relects badly on me, because he writes very well. The book is enjoyable, well written, easy to read and has a good plot. I recommend it.
