The narrator is great, but the story is terrible. This was actually made into a very clever movie starring Randy Quaid, minus all the suck.

Chock full of ewwwww.....

Enjoyed the movie so I thought I’d try the book. Big mistake. I don’t know how they made a good movie out of this junk.

Gross listen

Shocked the publisher kept racist verbiage.
Shocked anyone would agree to narrate this.
Shocked with all the stupid woke crap going on in this world, the same people are willing to let this book sail on by.

Just Shocked

As vulgar and immature as a writer can be. I’ll avoid Dan Jenkins May have grown up since he wrote this. I hope so.

Surprisingly Bad
