Summary: While Drowning in the Desert by Don Winslow
Review: Funny doesn't begin to describe this Neal Carey entry.
Hysterically funny. Laugh-out-loud till you cry funny.
I almost fell out of bed while reading this I was laughing so hard funny.And boy was I embarassed, since it was one in the morning and my neighbors have big ears.
Do yourselves a favor. READ THIS BOOK. But do it with care,
after all, you wouldn't want to fracture your funny bone.

Not so suspencefull or mysterious ,but great fun to absorbe.
More,where this came from-the world around us is suspencefull enough-may there be a laugh or two...

Summary: The end of a great series
Review: It's too bad, really --this is a pleasant enough little read, but compared to Winslow's other riveting and meticulously researched Neal Carey novels, this is just passable. Consider: Buddha's mirror taught me more about the Chinese Cultural Revolution than any textbook, and California Fire & Life made me the best fire expert this side of Red Adaire. But this book has obviously NOT been researched, and perhaps even written in 3 days. Did he need the money? Was the publisher hounding him? This is just going through the motions. It's clear that the author is bored with his detective, has no more to say about Joe Graham (who barely makes an appearance here) and confused about how to deal with Neal's domestic life. Don't look for any more Neal Carey novels; the author is written out on that subject. Read "A Cool Breeze," "Buddha's Mirror", "The Death & Life of Bobby Z" and "California Fire & Life" for the best of Don Winslow. And P.S. When he's in top form, NOBODY writes better.

Summary: Buddy Hackett meets Fletch
Review: The Neal Carey series started out as Ross MacDonald (Cool Breeze...) then became Robert Crais (Way Down on the...) continued on as Carl Hiaasen ( A Long Walk...) and now this; pure Laurence Shames slapstick.Another reviewer has noted that you learn nothing from this book,and that is true ( except maybe a few old vaudeville jokes ) but if you want learning, read a textbook, if you want to relax and have a few laughs, read this.

Summary: this book is one you can't put down
Review: When I first received this book from my fiance he told me I would have to read this. He knows that I am not much of a reader, but I told him I would. As soon as I started reading the book, every time I went to take a break something would come up. I just couldn't find myself to put this book down until I finished reading it. It was a very interesting and funny book.
