review 1: So Mr. Joe R. Lansdale, people shooting other people in the head is just one big laugh fest to you?** Ah, yes, apparently so. I'm late to this party. I jumped in here at the seventh book in his Hap and Leonard series so I am not going to make a judgment call. Just going to say the witty banter dialogue kinda wore thin on me around page 105.**making a snide joke here, you overly serious readers. Jeez, like I'd be opposed to blowing heads off...
review 2: 22. VANILLA RIDE (A Hap and Leonard Novel). (2009). Joe R. Lansdale. ***1/2. This was Lansdale’s novel before “Devil Red,” that I somehow missed. I missed the one before this, too, but that will soon be corrected. Hap (the white mensch with a conscious) and Leonard (the gay black with a heart of gold... more) are on the road again, this time doing a favor for their friend Marvin. The favor started out as a simple request: get his granddaughter back from the sadistic drug runner that she was living with. The problem was that the granddaughter, Gadget, didn’t want to come back. She was convinced, however, when our heroes went out to the ramshackle trailer her boyfriend was living in – along with several of his buddies – and whipped them all into submission. In the process, Hap decided to dump all of the drugs he found in the trailer down the toilet. This was a mistake. The key members of the gang supplying the drugs to this dealer took notice and wanted their drugs (or the equivalent in money) back, and started sending goons around to mess with our deadly duo. Messing seemed to get turned around always, with our good guys coming out on top. What this led to was an escalation in the talent sent to kill Hap and Leonard, until finally they met up with Vanilla Ride. She (yes, she) was the primo assassin in the area, and managed to kill off most of Hap and Leonard’s associates, and nearly take them out, too. It was a strange meeting, and one which played a big part in the “Devil Red” novel. This was another page-turner, full of wise cracks, humor, and non-stop violence. Recommended. less
