Summary: BRAVO KINKAZZO!
Comment: Man, am I addicted to Kinky's gonzonian books! Look at me, I'm a Jewish Italian former transplant to Aussieland, and what do I like reading? About a sleazeball, down-and-out, retired Texan country-music detective with a cranky cat in the house (is that a house?) and half a puppet on the fridge. This particular novel is actually a prequel - just like the last Star Wars - that answers all your burning questions about those Village [fellows] Kinky hangs around with. Happy now? I shouldn't think so: this is actually a suspenseful tale of murder, mayhem, madness, eroticism, and irrepressible laughter. Kinky, sei in gamba!

Summary: Not up to scratch, or just bad deja vu
Comment: As I read this book, a birthday gift, I might add, I became increasingly certain I had read it before. I have avidly read and re read all of Kinky's previous books, I have seen him a number of times on his tours of Australia, hell I even have one of his guitar picks framed and on my wall with a silver plaque. Don't say I'm not a big fan!
This book unfortunately left me stone cold. Even at the end, (yes it is rather lame) I found myself saying, surely I've read this before. I was so certain, I told my wife she bought the wrong book! Only on reading these other reviews have I realised this was actually a new work. Certainly not the Kinkster's greatest.
I anxiosly await the release of the next installment.
This is NOT A book for a first time Kinky reader!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: I probably started wiht the wrong book. . .
Comment: . . .or at least that is what I am told. This probably is a more fun book after you already know these characters from previous adventures. That said, it was wildly funny and silly, although a poor mystery. I do plan on reading more of the books, so obvioulsy the silliness was more of a blessing than a grating characteristic. I liked this more for style than content.
