Letto in due giorni, il primo libro della Saga di Hap e Leonard è veloce e scorrevole. Trama frizzante come i dialoghi tra i protagonisti. Storia ben farcita, insomma, non sarà un capolavoro ma un ottimo diversivo.
From the creator of Bubba Ho Tep–the tale of Hap and Leonard, the former a disillusioned 60's activist and the latter a gay, black Viet Nam vet who have formed a friendship in the aftermath of their respective experiences. Hap's ex, Trudy, shows up at his doorstep and, utilizing her feminine wiles, entices Hap and Leonard to help her obtain some easy money. Mayhem ensues. The strength of the novel is the charactes of Hap and Lenard and their interactions. It is very natural and real and often quite funny. The plot is not horrible, just ordinary. After all you don't put Elvis in a Subaru. Worth a read for the humor and the hope that the series gets better.
