This Week in Literature...
Continuing where "Snapneck Diefellow, the Finger's Extremity" leaves off, Gaines Freshmont tries anew to beguile us with his use of sentences and a plot into believing that there is any hope for the hero of the series.
Wendy Walker has escaped her tormentors from The Believer's Union only to find herself alone in an unforgiving society under the iron fist of a totalitarian ad hoc committee with irony as its only law and where beef fajitas are given away if only you wear a triangle hat.
It's a rippin' good yarn for anybody bereft of an attention span and is likely to cost the reader several hours of lost time and missed bus stops.
If dipping your literary yeast roll into the gravy that is "Fresh!", sounds tempting, read "Fresh!", the story of one boy's determination to sing the part of Juliet in an all-boys' military school.
Game Over: the Lance Hunsacker Story.
For the first time since his dismissal from the NFL, Hunsacker talks about the steroids he doesn't take, even while ripping his kid's crayon art off of the refridgerator and cranking a round into his shot gun, and in the final bedside interview before they took him to surgery to get shotgun pellets out of him, he tells the author to take care of his pickle factory.
For any fan of the Hunsacker Gerkin, this book is a must-have.
In "Fatty: How I Quit Smoking", author Terry Hamilton recalls his struggle with Bi-poler disorder following surgery to remove part of his spleen. "They were going to amputate. I nearly had to shout this book", he writes about the menace of childhood diabetes.
