REDNECK RIVIERA
“They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with a first step. . .”
And so a hilarious journey begins for a cosmopolitan couple from California’s Silicon Valley who, having left their high-tech jobs, decide to exit the “rat race” and move to a remote barrier island on the coast of North Carolina.
What looked like an island paradise in a travel magazine turns out to be a topsy-turvy adventure, as the couple discovers that life among the local gentry of this “Redneck Riviera” involves a raunchy and raucous collection of backward local customs, strange food, seedy bars, suspicious natives, and a free-wheeling island lifestyle of rusty pickups, raucous island elections, overpowered boats, southern-style good ol’ boys, and even lost pirate treasure.
What could possibly go wrong when upscale Yankee meets down-home Redneck?

Reviews
This was such a compelling and thoughtful narrative. The author does a great job of balancing what feels like their own personal experiences with hilarious and engaging scenarios unique to the island they find themselves on. The fast pace of the narrative and the relatability of the character’s arcs in this story felt like a great way of drawing the reader in. The overall atmosphere and character arc themselves felt like something pulled out of the cult classic film My Cousin Vinny, embracing the city slicker fresh out of the water feeling when the protagonist arrives in the slower-paced, humorous landscape of the South.
The dynamic character development and the powerful theme of embracing the unexpected made this a fantastic story to get lost in. The juxtaposition of the protagonist and his mindset with how things operate within the Southern culture was perfectly presented here, and the way this journey takes off so suddenly and the couple here are thrown into this journey through adventure. Engagement kept the reader invested in the story’s development.
The Verdict
Remarkable, hilarious, and engaging author James Hooker’s “Redneck Riviera” is a must-read novel. The threading of multiple storylines and exploring culture shock throughout the story will keep readers invested in this short yet potent novel. If you haven’t yet, be sure to grab your copy today!
