Named one of only two 5-star finalists for the 2012 Indie Reader Discovery Awards in the humor category, Goliath Gets Up is one of the funniest books you will ever read. Indie Reader describes it as, "a sidesplitting read in which you find yourself shamelessly and boisterously cheering for the most outrageous band of misfits to ever have a dream." The story of friends-by circumstance who decide they must do something important in order to change their lives, Goliath is a rollicking underdog tale about a misguided attempt to bring the Academy Awards ceremony to Rochester, NY and save the city in the process.
