If you've ever thought about being a pro ball player but were too chicken to apply because you knew you would just be embarrasing yourself, then meet Fred Grimes. Fred has no problem writing to all kinds of people, trying to get work. You gotta love him!
It had me going.

Somebody gave me this book on the occasion of being laid off from my job of 15 years. I felt like crying after I got fired, but Fred Grimes made me laugh out loud. A very clever idea for a book--an ordinary guy trying to find an extraordinary job.

Exceptionally clever and subtle.

Dear Ernest and Julio is intended for those who can laugh wth life and not just at it. This book gives the reader plenty of laughs and even more smiles as we see that Grimes (through Freed) is somebody we can relate to, sympathize with and really like. When we laugh at him and his plight we can see some humor in our own foibles and struggles. Freed has a keen ear for real life, as evidenced by his very real replies from the companies that all too many of us have to look to for jobs. If you are like me, it will take a while to finish Dear Ernest and Julio because you are overwhelmed with the urge to share some of the most hilarious letters - especially those dealing with France. Laugh and enjoy. You won't find a more enjoyable read all year
Absolutly hilarious, I didn't want it to end; ingenious

I found the book SO funny, it was hard to put it down. I told all of my friends about it and recommended it highly to them, and they all love it. Freed is wonderful, and should be commended. Great job
