Review

I bought the book. Read the book. Love the book. It's absurd, over-the-top, ingenious, silly and probably the funniest novel I've ever read. Serious deranged and uproariously funny. It's a cockeyed, totally hilarious version of The Godfather Goodfellas and The Sopranos all wrapped up in one tidy package. It would make a great cable (i.e. HBO) series. After I read the first few pages, I was struck by the fact that there's a laugh in every paragraph, every exchange of dialogue. I tested that theory by flipping ahead and randomly choosing a couple of passages. Sure enough. Laugh after laugh after laugh ----Joel HochbergCreative Head, Foote Cone

Norman Mark, a former Chicagoan and movie critic for Channel 5, has published a hilarious new novel, The Lure of the Long-Legged Blonde. more information at beachhousebooks or the longleggedblonde websites. --Stella Foster, Chicago Sun-Times

Product Description

A rollicking ride featuring a lovable, intellectually-challenged loser.
In the words of Uncle Guido, you?ll love it if you know what?s good for you. You want proof? Look at what these experts are saying:
?More fun than my first knee-capping.?
Tony ?Big Putz? Deserata, holder of the modern-day record by taking the Fifth 373 times in one hour.
?If I could read, I might enjoy this book.?
Clarence ?Whoo Ha? Murphy, whose Illinois CrimeCommission testimony some say became the basis for ?The Bridges of Madison County?
?Do I kill him or give him a paving contract??
Tucci ?Teeny Weeny? Shaw, author of the never-to-be published ?12 steps to Gangster Fulfillment?
?This Tony guy is dumber than a box of rocks. He's - my kind of guy.?
Cory ?No Brains? Clitoriani, the only person ever to successfully cram eight bullets into a six shooter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A joy to read, February 25, 2007
By 
Jon Anderson (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Norman Mark has an eye for detail, an ear for dialogue and
a deep understanding of how to keep a story moving. I like to
laugh out loud and this book helped me do that early and often.
Buy a copy and keep it hidden because, if you don't, your
friends will steal it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbearably funny but you need the right sense of humor, November 27, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lure of the Long-Legged Blonde (Kindle Edition)
There are some folks who get too literal and can't visualize continuous ridiculous situations, but, if you are visually oriented as I am, you'll laugh out loud a lot at the situations in this book.
So I expect this book to have only two types of reviewers.
If you can let loose and enjoy a zany plot with continuous imagination, you'll enjoy it. I did. Only thing I can suggest is try a sample and see for yourself.
If you want something more serious, buy something more serious. Lure of the Long-Legged Blonde is obviously not meant to be "true crime" --But it sure is funny! just imagine...

1.0 out of 5 stars Tedious AT Best, February 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lure of the Long-Legged Blonde (Kindle Edition)
The author tries too hard (every line) to be humorous & gets all the way to stupid (or maybe just too silly). Ended up skimming the last half to see if any substantial plot ever develops (it doesn't). Don't so much resent the $2 Kindle price as the quality reading time wasted getting through this. Recommend trying a sample on Kindle if you are interested in the book.
