Holly R W's Reviews > America Fantastica

I'm pulling the plug with the book on page 168. Even though it is a chunkster, I've read enough to know that it is not for me. The satire is biting, but not funny. All of the characters are both dumb (there's no better way to put it) and morally challenged.

The one bright spot is Angie, a bank teller who is being held captive. She manages to inject a little humor into the story. She falls for her captor, Boyd. Boyd robbed the bank where she was a teller and took her with him on the lam. Angie discovers that Boyd has a "problem with telling the truth." While on the run, he also shoots up a bus with passengers on it, just for the h--- of it. Angie thinks he needs to find Jesus. The story goes along in this vein. There is also a whole cast of unsavory characters chasing after Boyd and Angie.

Unfortunately, there's not enough here to hold my interest. It's time to find another book.
