Summary: pure entertainment
Comment: I stumbled upon Joe Lansdale's Mucho Mojo on a bargain table. The cover grabbed me and the preview was interesting so I paid the four bucks and went home. That's when it all began. I have read many books and I must say that the Hap and Leonard stories are the best ever. Joe Lansdale doesn't mess around. If you aren't engrossed, laughing or wanting more after the first page then you should check your pulse. Joe Lansdale is a true storyteller with his own unique crop of adjectives and the most hilarious group of metaphors I've ever read. I can't tell you how many times I have suggested this book to someone. Even non-readers get hooked. Since that first introduction I read everything I can find. He has other stories that are equally entertaining. But Hap and Leonard are two characters that come alive and will hopefully live forever.

Summary: Muchas Gracias, Senor Lansdale
Comment: I've found another author to read regularly. This novel is my introduction to Hap Collins and Leonard Pine, two friends who happen to have one of the most original and realistic relationships I've read. Hap travels to La Borde, Texas with Leonard, who has been left his recently deceased uncle's old house. As they are fixing up the house they discover a small skeleton and several kiddie porn magazines buried under the floor. Leonard cannot accept that Uncle Chester was a ...child murderer so he persuades Hap to help him clear Chester's name. That decision opens the door to an expertly plotted and neatly tied together mystery. Lansdale gives pieces of information that are not contrived but flow into the story and add interest and color. He introduced characters and relationships that I became interested in and wanted to learn more about. The sarcasm and repartee between Hap and Leonard is reason enough to read the book. Put that clever and realistic dialogue in a mystery full of colorful characters that also has some very suspenseful moments and you have a few hours of rich, first-rate entertainment. I highly recommend MUCHO MOJO.

Summary: A modern masterpiece of suspense
Comment: Joe R. Lansdale is a writer like no other. He hears the music and translates it better than just about anyone. MUCHO MOJO is a fine-tuned suspense novel cranked up to the max. This is the second book in the series about Hap and Leonard, two Texas buddies who get into tons of trouble. Hap is a straight white guy and Leonard is a gay black man. Both are brilliantly realized characters and you're going to love them. You could just hang out with Hap and Leonard for a few hundred pages listening to them talk about stuff and you'd have a great time. But Lansdale is a true master. He hammers out a great story to drive the suspense. The scene where Hap and Leonard are in a black bar and Leonard explains various deragotory terms to Hap (like "honky" and a number of them that I can't print here) is worth the price of admission alone. There's humor, action and suspense as only Joe R. Lansdale can deliver.
