Color Me Weird

by Robert Tacoma, ~Debi (Illustrator)

Here's something different...
Color Me Weird is a twenty-chapter mystery with a drawing suitable for coloring at the end of each chapter making it possibly the world s first coloring novella. Color Me Weird is the story of a young man's escape from winter to pursue his dream of becoming a tropical detective. Walter Buffet expected Key West to be laid-back and festive with warm breezes and colorful locals. He also expected, or at least hoped for, murder. And there is indeed a murder case waiting for him. He just didn't expect to be the prime suspect.

A "coloring novella", this was not as interesting to me as Tacoma's other Key Weird series books. However, if you are accustom to his writing style and character types, it was enjoyable as a quick-read that required little thought. Short length led to limited character development, but that's to be expected. Overall, I'm glad I read it since I had been meaning to finish reading his books, but definitely not my favorite. Perhaps this is because it didn't really go into too much detail about the city of Key West itself, which is what I had enjoyed from the other books. The "coloring" concept of the book was somewhat lost to me as an option (although I do love coloring!) since I read it on the Kindle.
