A review by thaydra
Gone South by Robert R. McCammon
3.0
Dan- a Vietnam vet with PTSD and leukemia- is down on his luck. When the manager of a bank threatens to repossess his only possession (a Chevy pick up truck), he goes a bit crazy. During a scuffle with a guard, he accidentally shoots and kills the bank manager. Now on the run, he is pursued by a bounty hunter with a head and arm growing out of his stomach, and his new recruit sidekick, who is an Elvis impersonator. While on the run, Dan meets a girl with a huge ugly birthmark on her face who is searching for a healer called "The Bright Girl" in the Louisiana swampland.
This book was... strange. It was a typical run-and-hunt story, but with a strange twist of characters. It was good, but a bit out there for me. It wasn't my favorite story by Robert McCammon by far, but a decent read with some laughs for when you want something a little less intense. It's moral is a good one, but a little predictable. The journey there is entertaining, though.
