Gone the way of the Dodo bird is a historical fiction novel by Bret Kissinger which was published in the year 2020. The book follows three friends Johnny, Tomato, and Hotsy who work in beer wars, take care of shipments of booze, collection of money, and protect booze shipment locations from their rival encroachers.
The book cover really gave me a violent look, yet three words written on the cover were true to the content of the book. Bullets, Booze, and Beauty are the center of the story. Once I opened the book it introduced me to a new world of violence, love, and most important some valuable loyalty lessons.

Plot ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dealing with so many traumas and past anomalies Johnny was living a life that was not the life he had dreamt of. Hotsy and Tomato were not only his loyal friends but were also ready to take a bullet for him.
Their life is surrounded by three things: Booze, Bullets, and lots of women. Paris was not a regular woman which John was meeting every night, she was someone who made Johnny pour all his emotions out, trying to be a better person, to be someone he always wanted to be.
