John Locke (Author)

Book Description

Be careful what you wish for!
When Buddy Pancake and his drinking buddies stumble across the Wish List website, they jokingly post their “impossible” wishes. Imagine their surprise when, one by one, the wishes start coming true! But Buddy and his pals neglected to read the fine print explaining the price they must pay for the wishes they’ve been granted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Great Read December 17, 2010

By Emmanuel Camarillo

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This little page turner of a book houses laughter and thrills between its binding. Well written, Locke does a good job of of using adult themes to tell a story that is not only entertaining, but also informative. Surprisingly enough, the tale of Buddy Pancake can be seen as a cautionary tale. A tale that does not hit you over the face with life lessons and instead uses humor to get its point across. Twists and turns scattered throughout the novel make it a book that is hard to put down.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tried and true methods becoming more trying than truthful. November 29, 2010

By Richard Davis

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Locke puts out fine material at a pace that would give Stephen King and Danielle Steel carpel tunnel. As many of you are aware, for every daisy, there is a patch of milkweed. By and large, Locke is able to pull off pulp gold. While the majority of his work is quality, not every effort can, or will be top notch though. Though this novel seems stretched for ideas, it does have the signature Locke charms, though dangerously over the top with this installment. There is something to be said for someone that can still make run of the mill and crass ideas readable though. Locke's vision 'through the seedy underbelly of society' are always dripping with testosterone. So much in fact it's enough to make John Wayne call him a chauvinist if he'd been given a chance.
As for the characters, I found Mr. Pancake, or 'Buddy' completely and utterly unlikable, and was unable to empathize even with his soulless supposed love interest or wife. Locke really presses another indecent proposal type twist into print here as well. When I first noticed the device in another novel, I thought it clever, then I noticed other tendencies from the 90's that are still popping out the more I read his work.
The story and characters here are drab, simply unlikable and inaccessible. To bring up Danielle Steel again, Locke does have a similar, although much less prose-ful' and far more phallic zest, for the sex sauce.
Again, I am Locke fan as much as I can be as a reviewer, and avid aficionado of what Locke has done for this genre, even bending it to make his own sub form of it, and even at his worst, or below his par, he still retains wit and has a knack for those unsettling face to face kind of moments that make real folks squirm. Even in a low spot, Locke does retain what makes him the master of his niche.
