Dafaq???? 😵
So this traveler is wandering around from town to town warning people about the impending storm which brings not only a barrage of rain and thunder.... it brings motherfucking sharks!!! 🦈 I will try as hard as I can to write this review without giving too much away. Okay so if this book were a movie it would be the equivalent of Snakes on a Plane. I say this because Samuel L. Jackson would have to be in it given the title and the language used and because the book has just about as much storyline as that film did. Let's face it, Deep Blue Sea had a lot more going for it. 😋 What makes this book even more fascinating to me is that it is set in rural country and as far as I can tell it is the old west as they talk about horse thieving and hanging people and the sheriff's building. No, the answer to your question is it is not set anywhere near an ocean or body of water at all. Then how can there be sharks you ask me? I will answer it the way it does so eloquently in the book.... fucking magic! The writing is definitely told in an old western style as if you were sitting playing cards and drinking with somebody in an old saloon and they were telling you the story. The author also takes time out to talk to the reader from time to time. I feel that if this was an audiobook it should be narrated by Sam Elliott. Was it good? Was it bad? It was certainly ugly. Lots of gore and sex for such a small book. Not that those things are really ugly to the horror fan, but still. I have to say, I have been on an MST3K (Mystery Science Theater 3000) binge this past week and I would very much have enjoyed watching this with Tom Servo, Jona and Crooow. I think this made into movie form would have definitely fit the bill for this show. So would I recommend this book? That's a hard question to answer. I think this is one of those books that you just have to take a motherfucking chance and read it for yourself. 😁
