The Misfortunate Fortune of Larry Fumble

By: R.M. Spears

Narrated by: J.T. McDaniel

Larry Fumble is the kind of man who trips over wireless internet. From the moment he was born during a power outage (caused by a squirrel, obviously), Larry’s life has been a nonstop parade of accidents, awkward encounters, and full-scale flaming disasters—sometimes literally.

But when one absurd mishap after another accidentally launches him from small-town punchline to mayor, then global taco mascot, and eventually an international keynote speaker, Larry begins to realize something:
Maybe all this bad luck… is weirdly good.

With a baby on the way, a town that adores him (in a very cautious way), and a decades-old government conspiracy tracking his every fall, Larry sets out to prove that you don’t have to be graceful, gifted, or even remotely coordinated to make an impact.

Told in ten hilarious, heartfelt chapters, The Misfortunate Fortune of Larry Fumble is a comedy of epic clumsiness—a feel-good, fall-on-your-face adventure about embracing life’s chaos, finding love in unexpected places, and learning that sometimes the key to success is just... showing up (and maybe falling into something useful along the way).

Perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen, Christopher Moore, or anyone who’s ever tripped in public and tried to play it cool.

So funny and fun

I chuckled all the way through this light hearted short story. It celebrates the goofy improbable accidents of one whimsical family and somehow manages to leave you feeling good about yourself and life in general.

I might be Larry

Actually, I think we are all just a little Larry Fumble. Nice story with a few laughs and good message at the end. 

Fun

Very interesting and fun book. Definitely very easy to follow and get into. Very well narrated. Overall 5 stars
