Summary: a less accomplished joe r. lansdale
Review: this earlier effort from lansdale displays many of the qualities that set him apart today. the easy yet intelligent and witticism-packed style. the unflinching attention to gory detail. the page-turner plotting. this, however, is just a shade less skilled in all of these departments than, say, his hap & leonard series. and although one always has to suspend disbeief a tad when reading lansdale's books, this time i think he stretched things a bit too far. worth a read, if you've finished everything else of his, though.

Summary: Long live the Popcorn King!!!
Review: When I finished this book, that's all I could say...."NO WAY"!! This book has soooo much to offer the reader. In some parts, it's sooooo funny, and other parts very violent. The reader will be laughing at such things as a Diansour named Toothy, and be terrified by the Popcorn King.Some friends take part in a weekly activity of going to a drive in to take part in a all night horror-a-thon. When a comet come and changes their life...forever. The Drive-in becomes a movie.... I won't say to much about this book, b/c i don't want to ruin it...but once you start, you won't be able to put it down. My favorite part that had me laughing do hard was what Randy did with this popcorn bucket. *LOL* This is a very funny book, but dont' mistake this for a comedy b/c this is a very violent and scary book. The char that Landsdale created are very lifelike. They are char that the reader cares about that will make the reader turn the page and not want to put this down. If you start this book, you won't be sorry. Just when it's late at night....watch out for the Popcorn King....

Summary: Damn good.
Review: Without the Drive-In books I would never have discoveredJoe Lansdale. Some of the strangest, most bizarre, most horrific, and most fun fiction I have ever read. You'll never look at popcorn the same way again. Please buy this book.
