As the story goes on, the characters opinions on money and his lifestyle stay the same, he still aspires to live the high lifestyle. Caish begins the story with everything he could ever want, Malibu beach house, lavish cars, loads of parties and endless amounts of drugs. The plot of this book basically follows a typical decline story. Blinded by pride and fueled by greed, Caish is slave to the wiles of a moneyed mind, as only one who has tasted wealth’s powerful fruit can be. Malibu Motel is a raw, timeless novel exploring the undercurrents of capitalism.Ĭaish Calloway is struggling to maintain a stake in the land of limitless privilege. He resorted to bank robbery to fund his heroin addiction, and is presently serving time in a federal penitentiary.

He went from living with his mother to a life of beach houses, fast cars, and cocaine, before ultimately becoming homeless. Synopsis:īased on the incredible true story of a hapless lottery winner who won millions of dollars from the California SuperLotto in 1998. I was so intrigued the whole way through to see where the character arc was going to go. I felt like from reading the synopsis, I was not going to like the main character, but I was interested to see where the story went considering it was based on a true story.

This book is brimming with hedonism, absurd amounts of money, scamming and ignorance. I requested this on Netgalley because it seemed like an interesting read. Hey guys, today I have an ARC review for you. *This book was kindly sent to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review
