Witty and Funny,
By A Customer
This review is from: Alp;: A novel (Hardcover)
Found and read this book over the holidays at Grandparents' house because of lack of other reading materials. Wonderful find! It was an extremely funny, although sometimes ghoulish, book. From the Henkers to Babs, all of the characters are well developed and come alive in some of the most creative prose that I have read. I would highly recommend Alp for someone looking for a short and funny change from your typical boring fictional novel.

Cult Classic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Alp;: A novel (Hardcover)
Mr. Hjortsberg writes his first book in a juvenile style that leaves you wondering is this the work of a grade-schooler or refreshingly funny adult. By the time you finish this, in my opinion, best first comedy novel you will know which. The book is not recommended for children because of the adult black humor. By the way the movie "Angel Heart" is based on his later book Falling Angel. This book is half as good as ALP the movie 1/10.
