Not quite in the league of Robert Heinlein, but Sugar Ray has a writing style that dares you to put the book down.

This review is from: Happy Valley: Expanded Edition (Paperback)

Sugar Ray Dodge uses humor and satire to drive a compelling and funny story that will keep readers glued to the last page. Set in the unlikely place of Provo UT, a young film maker sets out to get funding for his dream movie. His set backs along the way are both shocking and terrifying.

Dodge combines elements of humor, horror, adventure and satire to make a completely new and undefined genre in literature. Happy Valley will make a great read for those who love a great original story.
