Humorous and right on at what we expect by Joseph Flynn 4th book I have read by him and he needs to hurry up and write another

With many books I read, after a couple of days I cannot remember anything about them, but with Joseph Flynn's it is almost total recall for me. His characters are as quirky as Carl Haaisen's and just as endearing. I mean it when I say I can't wait for Flynn's next book.

I loved this book! It reminded me of one of my favorite authors, Carl Hiaasen, with all of its wacky characters. The hero, Laddy Johnson, who may or may not be President Lyndon Johnson's love child,is a former stuntman in Hollywood who comes back to his hometown of Gasoline, Texas, where gas sells for 25 cents a gallon, to run for mayor. He runs up against the crooks already well established in the local government and the fun begins. Throw in Laddy's former girlfriend, the famous actress Joanna Wells and the twists and turns keep you reading non-stop. I finished this book in 2 days and felt like I lost some friends when it was all done. This would be a great addition to your favorite reader's Christmas list.

Being a Texan, with some relatives that could be considered colorful, the title of Gasoline, Texas caught my eye immediately. It was a fun read, and prompted me to purchase several other Joseph Flynn books. Have enjoyed them all.

I enjoy reading Mr Flynn's books. All the reviews said this one was awesome. While it was kind of fun to read, I fail to see the awesome. It was easy to read and okay plot, but definitely not one of his better books. And he does write some very good books.
