Ilustration To Books Savage Season (Hap and Leonard #1)

Here comes Trudy back into Hap's life, thirty-six but looking ten years younger, with long blonde hair and legs that begin under her chin, and the kind of walk that'll make a man run his car off the road. Here comes trouble, says Leonard, and he's right. She was always trouble, but she had this laugh when she was happy in bed that could win Hap over every time. Trudy has a proposition: an easy two hundred thousand dollars, tax-free. It's just a simple matter of digging it up ...Hap Collins and Leonard Pine, white and black, straight and gay, are the unlikeliest duo in crime fiction. Savage Season is their debut.

Write Up Appertaining To Books Savage Season (Hap and Leonard #1)

Hap Collins and Leonard Pine are two rural guys just scraping by, best friends who together make up a badass and hilarious odd couple. Hap is a white heterosexual former idealist who went to prison for making a point out of dodging the draft, and Leonard is a black gay Vietnam veteran. When Hap's ex-wife, Trudy, comes to them with a sketchy proposition for making a lot of money fast, Hap's desire for Trudy combines with his and Leonard's need for living expenses, making the opportunity too good

OK, this was just plum fun. I'm not up to speed on my Lansdale so I'm just now venturing into Hap and Leonard. I, of course, have heard plenty about them and with the TV show coming up, I decided this might be a great diversion from the horrible reading slump I've been in.Sometimes I make excellent choices.

Ive finally read a Hap and Leonard novel! Being a huge Lansdale fan, I knew I would dive into his long crime series starring two unlikely leads: a black and gay Vietnam vet, and an everyman Vietnam protestor. These two were a hoot to read about, and their dialogue is sure to make any amateur author jealous.Because this is the first novel in the series, there is a lot of foundation-laying. Most of it works, though there is the occasional info dump especially in the books opening chapters. Ive

Master of an absolutely unique combo-genre. Impossible to describe and harder to imitate.

The first half of this novel was really threatening to put me to sleep. Its saving grace was its interesting characters, but there wasn't really much happening. Then, halfway through, it gets insane and it was like someone threw a bucket of ice water on me and woke my ass up quick. I'll probably check out further installments of this series, but I hope Lansdale injects more of the frenetic pacing that he used at the end of this one.

This, the first Hap and Leonard adventure, is so early in the development of the detective series that Hap and Leonard arent even detectives yet. They are East Texas men in their thirties, working off-and-on at low-paying jobs (flower pickers in the rose fields, for example), just trying to get along, while amusing themselves by shooting skeet and beating each other up in martial arts duels. Hap is a straight white male, a sixties radical who did time for resisting the draft, and Leonard is a

What have we here? The old and reliable 'heist' story. One would think it's been done enough times already to get a bit stale and predictable. Fear not! Joe Lansdale has some surprises in store for you. And even if sometimes you feel you've heard it all before, a good storyteller will still get you hooked with a couple a sympathetic scoundrels and their sharp, hilarious banter, he would still keep you intrigued about motives and possible outcomes and he would still knock you down flat with
