Review # 1 was written on 2008-05-16 00:00:00 Laura Kane Although certain tropes are repetitive (female hitchhikers smelling like sagebrush, many fishing scenes) and I think the main character receives too much of a pass at the end, the book is laugh-out-loud funny in places. McGuane rambles at times but he has a great gift for dialogue and comic timing. I particularly liked the bit where our hero found himself riding a pig. Another character's description of a porn film was funny as well. Not perfect, but a fun read.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-06-25 00:00:00 Vipul Bhuptani Love Thomas McGuane! This is an older book that I have read several times, but it never fails to be fun and thought-provoking. McGuane consistently blends comedy and a strange sense of impending disaster with an element of hysteria (these themes are present in all of his books). If you are new to McGuane read this one, 92 in the Shade, The Sporting Club, The Bushwhacked Piano and Panama for sure. He is right up there with our best American authors. His essays on the outdoors and fishing are also top notch.
