This is my first foray into reviewing a serial novel, but it is not the first time I've read one. Back in the day, I read Stephen King's serialized THE GREEN MILE, and I had a hard time waiting for each new installment. When it comes to reading a story, I have been known to wait for an entire series to be published before reading book one. After which, I proceed as if I am reading one very long book... case in point, John Jakes (ancient - 1975) Kent Family Chronicles (the series that started with THE BASTARD). Yes, you may surmise from this that I like my fiction long, and detailed, and hard to put down, and after more than a thousand pages, I still want more.
I also make it a practice to not retell the story of what I have just read. I would much rather tantalize than summarize. After all, it's a review, not a book report.
So, I've literally read the first 42 pages of a thriller, and now it's time to review it.
CUTLASS SUPREME is a book about bad guys, several of whom are introduced in Episode 1. Each is a distinct personality, and as a reader of thrillers, I hope to get to know them all better. There is just enough mayhem, and criminal stupidity to make me want to read more. When I came across the post by Phillippe Diederich, on Goodreads, in the Creative Reviews group, his description of his book put me in mind of an old movie, "Gumball Rally," a movie that I really enjoyed. So buckle up folks, and hop in the CUTLASS SUPREME for "a cross-country chase among a group of criminals after one of them steals a vintage car." Diederich promises five more episodes in season one.
Me? I never could resist the call of the open road.
Phillippe Diederich sent me a copy of CUTLASS SUPREME for review.
