Another review just came in and, again, it blew me away. This time it's
Book Reviews doing the honors:
"No Hope for Gomez!" is a tale of dimwits in over their heads wrapped up in a caper that is much too dangerous for them to comprehend. In other words, it's a Coens Brothers' film formatted in book form. [:] It's outrageously quick paced and quick witted.[:]
Graham Parke's mile-a-minute writing style makes "No Hope for Gomez" a quick and unputdownable read that flies in the face of reason, and smashes against the wall of detective novels. Much of the humor boils down to one liners, but they're written and formatted to such perfection that it goes off without a hitch, and becomes the cornerstone of a great talent, and a remarkable new literary voice in the field of comedy/blog/detective novels, of which there are too few."
I especially like the 'unputdownable'. If that's not a word, it def. should be!
