A review by nicka
Arkansas by John Brandon

4.0

gonna give it another go...

With lines as humorous as 'May you dream of offered tits' as playful as 'They'd kiss her like they were in hell and she was iced tea' or as sweet and lyrical as 'Let's stay together till we die. I'll never tire of looking at you when the sun hits you through the window,' John Brandon packs this book with the kind of writing that would seemingly have a pretty wide appeal.

Even though the ending faltered, Arkansas was a thrilling, engaging read. I'm sure Brandon has read his fair share of Elmore Leonard but Arkansas is wholly his own, a great unique debut.
