Predictable, maybe. Entertaining, definitely!, August 9, 2001
This review is from: Ump: A Dark Comedy (Hardcover)
I can see how some people would almost place this book in the "Young Adult" section of the bookstore. It's light and playful but well-written. It's been one of three fiction books I own and the only one I've read more than once in the past six(?) years. Can't wait for Arnold Schwarzenegger to play this role sometime in 2002-3, although when reading it I pictured Mike Starr (Frenchy from Goodfellas) as the lovable hitman.

This IS good, May 24, 2011
This review is from: Ump: A Dark Comedy (Hardcover)
I agree with the above review. A light comedy, worth reading over again. A keeper on these bookshelves. Frank Brady is a wonderful character,afraid of nothing but his wife Nan and being hit in the "vitals" (anywhere else is okay). The ultimate showdown, Frank vs. the cabdriver in a junk filled alleyway, is worth the price of admission.
