Summary: Not a novel, but notes for one
Review: I love bug books! I'll read anything I can get my hands on, and have no problem with it. But this book needs to be written. It is a major disappointment, and I feel like the author should refund my money. What we have here is either (1) a filmscript, of director's notes, or (2) the author's notes that he "forgot" needed to be made into a novel. It is being narrated by a disinterested observer, and there is no guts to it. "The old poachers have had a slow night...." Now let me EXPERIENCE what the poachers are feeling and seeing. In all my years of reading fiction, I have NEVER seen this before. It fails, miserably. Wolfgang: nice idea, I think; now write the book, and send me a copy.

Summary: Jaws On The Bayou
Review: This short novel is a great spoof on the horror and science fiction genres. So many books these days take themselves so seriously - they are to long and to convoluted. "SNAPPER" is fun and easy to read, and the characters are a hoot. Maybe a Giant Alligator Snapping Turtle is lurking beneath the swamps of the Louisiana bayou. This story would make a very interesting movie. An good weekend read.

Summary: Jaws On The Bayou
Review: This story is hilarious and horrific at the same time. I didn't think so many zany and weird characters could be jammed into 100-plus pages. A Giant Alligator Snapping Turtle comes along and almost gobbles up the small Louisiana river town of Scottsville, creating havoc for townspeople and evil oil barons alike. I think they should make a movie out of this story. It would put "Jaws" to shame. If you want a quick easy read for the weekend while your sipping a cold one, "Snapper" is a good bet.
