Critiques

Based on the reviews about this book, I decided to check it out. There is an Internet site that has the first 4 chapters online, so I read a couple of the chapters and could not stop laughing. So I bought the book. Then I read the rest. This book is not bad by any means, but it is hampered by Weisbecker's inside jokes and heavy handed humor. A little subtlety really does go a long way, but I don't think Weisbecker knows that. The last few chapters read like one of Hunter S. Thompson's articles and that's not necessarily a complement. The story just takes huge leaps in logic that are hard to reconcile. I would recommend this book to people who are sci-fi fans or love Monty Python, but the rest of you may want to check it out before buying.… (plus d'informations)

Humorous, very silly novel about a couple of dufus drug smugglers, a la Cheech and Chong or the Big Lubowski. A quick read, lots of funny lines, with a humorous motif about quantum physics (yes, you heard right). Not very linear, sometimes a little incoherent, but it's all meant to be in fun. Recommended for brainless beach reading, but little else.
