Courtney’s Books: Lucky Dennis

One of the stranger books I’ve read.

Apparently someone is really hooked on old school crime novels and has become a strange new writer of that genre.  Very unique voice, this writer.

Clocking in at like 100 pages this thing peels out right from the git go and then, well, kinda just keeps peeling out.  Its not a long book so he can really keep it up. (Except for the part where he describes in brutal detail a rather lengthy game of blackjack punctuated by a sociopath and our hero lucky Dennis having some serious words).

This is definitely fun for boys but it opens and closes with descriptive pornographic scenes that make me wonder if this is a genre I previously didn’t know about called maybe like “trucker novellas” or something.  I did read a lot of Penthouse Letters when I was a boy scout on newspaper recycling drives so I’m pretty familiar with the style.

I’m not done with it but so far it sure is fun.  I’ll letcha know how it goes.

And how about that the hero is called Dennis?  Quick what’s the last guy name you’d ever think of?  Yup.
