Review - Life Seemed Good, But...

Title: Life Seemed Good, But...

Author: Richard Bell

Synopsis (Goodreads):

Welcome. Are you interested in entering a funny, bizarre and unpredictable world? I mean besides the one we all live in? Are you in the mood for dark, or possibly goofy, or possibly just hilarious stories? Then meet the strange characters who live in and around the Mystee Forest, including Oscar the Too-Lucky Gambler, Plooky the Mean Clown, Diane and her Clumsy Unicorn, and various aliens and wizards. Read about the thoughts of a grilled cheese sandwich. As an added bonus, you will also read about my various adventures involving aluminum foil, which are amazing and not to be missed. Lots of the stories are interrelated and contain hidden trivia references, which will give you something to do while you’re laughing.
Warning: This is a book of humor and not meant to be mistaken for great literature.

My Review:

Rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off funny!!! I loved this book. It seriously cracked me up. I actually loved some of these stories so much that I took it to work and read a few out loud. My co-workers, in turn, were laughing their asses off!

Richard Bell brings you into this very unique and bizarre world, that is a very nice breath of fresh air - well if you don't include Farty-Horse, whose real name is Melvin....but that is a horse of different color...lol.

Seriously, this was a great book. The stories were original, and very entertaining. I can definitely say, I will never ever look at a potato the same, ever again.

Review-Red Asphalt

Title: Red Asphalt

Author: Scott Cherney

Synopsis: (Goodreads)

See that car in your rear-view mirror?
The driver wants to kill you.
Don’t take it personally.
You just happen to be in the way.

In Scott Cherney’s new novel, Red Asphalt, the operator of the vehicle in question is a troubled medical courier in a triple threat cage match with his two biggest adversaries-everyday life and himself. His marriage to the woman he believed to be his soul mate is rapidly evaporating before his eyes. The book he’s been working on for over a decade is slipping through his fingers as he struggles to complete it. As these pressures grow, he compensates by conjuring up outrageous road rage scenarios in the multiplex of his mind. As his life, job and dreams simultaneously implode, his wild fantasies begin to literally bleed over into reality. Now with a gun in one hand and a steering wheel in the other, this distant runner-up in the human race feels empowered for the very first time. At least our boy’s finally found a purpose in life. 

My Review:

What an amazing book. I would have to say that this is a must read for anyone who has a drivers license or has ever rode in a car.  Calvin Wheeler's life is not exactly the American Dream. With a crumbling marriage and a dead end job (he drives for a living) Calvin's life is like a tire with a slow leak. Not to mention his magnum opus, the book that he has been writing for a good 7 years is going no where. And as we know, a tire with a slow leak, eventually pops.  This is exactly what happens to Calvin and his entire life. 

This story is a 294 page violent, in your face, darkly humorous thrill ride. 

......the moral of the story????

TRAFFIC CAN BE MURDER.
