Stumbled onto this book looking for something light to listen to on an overseas flight. I honestly didn't expect much, and was very pleasantly surprised. If you're a fan of Carl Hiaasen or Christopher Moore this is going to be right up your alley. Well plotted, well read, extremely entertaining ...

You just know that this author goes to comicon. The short bursts of the chapters, the deep brooding of the protagonist, and the revenge laced ending with sequel possibility oozing all over the place. Very well written and narrated. It makes me think Seth Mcfarlan--I know i really shouldn't be laughing at this... bawdy and ballsy. Uncomfortable laughter is the best. ;-)

The authors sense of humor is exactly, precisely what I find naturally attractive. I laugh out loud every chapter to the dry literate & intelligent descriptions of scenes & characters. I think he writes aspects of himself that he can't really embrace fully in real life into his character narration & it's fascinating. I love his books & highly recommend anything with his name on it.
Very entertaining

I came across HSIE back when the author was just getting started. Now that all the chapters/episodes are finished, I was able to listen straight through, much to my delight. McLean has a great reading voice and excellent vocal characterizations. I loved how the story moved from a tale of ...

Patrick is a liar. He told me years ago he would make this awesome book available on Audible. I've waited years. No such luck. If he would just make it available, I would buy it and I would listen to it over and over racking up so many Audible achievements. ...
