Hellbound Snowballs - A Novel [Kindle Edition]

Product Description

In a world filled with sea lions that cuss like sailors, guilt-fueled phantoms who don't quite get it and a personal philosophy that everything will inevitably fall apart, nothing surprises Connor McKinley. Well... actually that sea lion thing did, but come on. Who could blame a fella for being surprised by that?

But there is precious little time to be surprised by much more. On the run from his past, armed with little more than a keen vocabulary, a fear of sharks and a never ending stream of cultural references, Connor spends his days hiding in plain sight at the Shady Palms Hotel. Hoping no one will find him out.

But at what cost?

4.0 out of 5 stars I laughed, I cried, then I made supper for the kids, July 7, 2008

This review is from: Hellbound Snowballs (Paperback)

It's a nice story filled with visions of my childhood. No, I didn't have a homicidal maniac for a best friend, but I did see 'Jaws' as a kid and couldn't go swimming in a lake for a very long time. Pools even freaked me out. Enough about me, let's talk about the book.

The book is a love story with a little violence and death thrown in. Oh, and manual labor. To me, key elements to a good novel. Wait, maybe it was a violent murder mystery with a love story thrown in. I get those two mixed up.

At this point, I could discuss everything that happens in the book (unhappy transient, heads south, finds job in sleazy motel, manager is an a-hole, meets a hotty, hotty has brother, stuff happens, Jaws moment, more stuff happens, the end), but I don't want to spoil it.

For 12 bucks, this book was a bargain. I've read a lot of books and nothing has come even close to what this book has taught me about life. You want to know what it's taught me? Buy the book.
