Loading... Fletch, Tooby Gregory Mcdonald
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) BoundTogetherForGood | Dec 24, 2022 |  McDonald blijft een vlot en aangenaam verteller, maar in dit boek neemt hij meer tijd en ruimte voor beschouwingen. Fletch, too wordt zo een reisverslag over een trip naar Kenia, en een - weliswaar licht - filosofisch boekje over het verschil tussen Westerse en Afrikaanse levensvisie. In die mix vinden we nog altijd de heerlijke Irwin Fletcher, journalist met spitse tong, eigenzinnig karakter en heerlijke humor. Het boek wordt door meer dankbare karakters bevolkt, kent weer spitse dialogen en ditmaal een wat dunnere, maar toch goed uitgewerkte plot. Blijft heerlijk leesvoer tussendoor! (  ) GertDeBie | Mar 22, 2021 | ritaer | Mar 19, 2020 | It begins with a crazy wedding ceremony on a bluff in the rain, takes off as Fletch and his bride Barbara change horses in midstream at the airport en route to their honeymoon and end up in Nairobi, Kenya, with skis, poles, and only ski clothing. An invitation from a long-thought dead father will do that. The goofiness and the twisted explanations for their gear and clothing are hilarious. But, after that it sort of devolves to a plot-less meandering as so many of these books do. (  ) DaveWilde | Sep 22, 2017 | no reviews | add a review

Except Fletch's father is supposed to be dead.But somebody delivered the letter, signed "Fletch Senior" and containing an invitation (and a pair of plane tickets) to visit the old man in Nairobi for the honeymoon. Never mind Fletch and his bride were planning a ski trip to Colorado.No sooner does the couple land in Africa then the search for Fletch's father begins. There's a murder at the airport, reports of the old man's incarceration, and the hospitality (and evasiveness) offered by Pop's best friend, who flies them across the continent, just a step or two behind â?? or maybe ahead of â?? the ol No library descriptions found. |
