Funny? Not! Very violent, confusing viewpoints, characters that I could give a shit about. I will not bother reading this guy again. (

Crumley could write! This is one of his best, just behind Mexican Tree Ducks, in my view. He wraps up all the loose ends and weaves a fun and intriguing tale. From adding colors to the color wheel ("dog d**k pink"), bringing new meaning to "digging (your) own grave", and perfectly describing fascinating characters ("1000 ants short of a picnic"), Crumley brings Shugrow and Milo together for another adventure.
