so-soFull of dark and twisted humor, very Martin McDonagh-esque! A killer, after losing his hand on a Spokane railroad track, has been searching for years to recover it. His luck may be turning when he agrees to meet up at a small-town motel with a young couple who aver they have the missing hand. Makes me wish I could‘ve seen the actual play in 2010, starring Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell.
so-soThis was an odd book. I started it a number of years ago and dnf, but put it on my list to try again for #Germany in the #foodandlit challenge. I am glad i came back. From where I left off, I saw the humor I missed years ago. But the second half found me appalled. But the picture of self denial taken to the absurd is timely. Being NYE and the last prompt of the year, I went to the local bakery for stollen and salztangen - yum. And cinnamon buns.
December reading goals: stayed up late and finished finding me by Viola Davis for irl bookgroup on Thursday. That leaves my final #foodandlit (tagged) book for the year. I have two audio books in progress I need to finish so I can start the new Louise Penny. Gaudy nights is my digital read. It‘s slow going but worth it. It also works for my #192025 challenge.
pickLike the three other books in this series, this book can be read as a standalone. Reading the other books in the series, in order or not, won‘t help with that feeling of “what the … am I reading here?” It's a bonkers wild ride with aliens and magical soy sauce and parasites and a magical egg that demands human sacrifices and ...
In other words, a novel where you have to trust that the author knows what they were doing and go with the flow.
So excited to finally be spending time with John, Dave, & Amy again 🤓😎
Christopher Moore is so god damn funny. Even my beardy thinks so.
