Though I love CoyoteBlog and read it quite religiously, I was not expecting much from this novel. I have always appreciated Mr. Meyer's logical approach and strict adherence to his libertarian principles, but I just wasn't sure how well he would translate into the creative realm.

I was more than pleasantly surprised. BMOC was engaging from the start, with the quick pace and plot hooks to keep reading that you find in the likes of Grisham, Crichton, Dan Brown et. el. Unlike some novels where the characters are interesting, but unreal in either form or capability, the main actors in BMOC were recognizable, albeit with a little extra 'juice' to make them engaging. Though Mr. Meyer's political and economic views were present, this was not at all a preachy endeavor; just good, (mostly) clean storytelling.

I'm looking forward to the next installment.

For lovers of the mystery genre ala Patterson, Cornwell and Tanenbaum, Warren Meyer's first release, BMOC, will surely please! The story is intelligent with enough actions and twists & turns to thrill any reader. Great, fun and smart characters: Susan, a bright young woman who demonstrates smarts in one area can certainly translate to others; Preston, the entrepreneur with cool ideas & the passion to guarantee success; Mason, the surfer-dude cop who does his job well and then some. A couple bumbling bad guys, the sleazy media mogul, attorney & Senator with ethics long-gone, a couple less-than-ladylike ladies and a Hollywood deal-maker provide the necessary troubles.

The story grabs you right from the start and keeps holding you until the last word. And - leaves you wanting more! My hope is to read more adventures of Preston, Mason and/or Susan for a long time!

This book is thoroughly enjoyable beginning to end. Colorful characters engage the imagination in this well developed piece of fiction. A humorous caper with satirical jabs at pop culture and the establishment throughout.

I really enjoyed this book. I have a 5 month old, so I haven't been doing anywhere near the amount of reading I used to and I've really missed it. This book was great though - it was a quick read that stayed entertaining throughout. I ended up taking it to bed and staying up late to finish it which, well, let's just say that hasn't happened in about 5 months! I especially enjoyed that it turned the typical whodunnit around - you know who did it the whole time, but it's fascinating to see how it all plays out!

I like the concept for the book and like reading Warren Meyer's Coyote Blog. I don't understand how crude and uncouth became popular and I am disappointed that is the approach that was chosen with this book. I should have paid attention to the review by "Warren's mother." I've returned my copy to Amazon for a refund.
