Head Games Audiobook

" This book was very good until up to the final 50 pages. The conclusion was long, drawn out and way too political. "

" This book was amazing! It's well-written, moves fast, is funny and you learn a lot about history along the way. Politically very timely too! "

" Ending seems a little contrived, but it's an entertaining read. "

" Would have been five stars but for some jarring anachronisms in the 1957 part of the book i.e. referring to a "sociopath" and "nattering nabobs of negativity" Otherwise great over-the-top fun! "

" Liked it OK; the first in the series I read (the 4th book) was much better so I'm glad I read that one first--I don't know if I would have thought it worthwhile to read the others if I'd done them in order. (Still will go back for the second--if I can find it--and the third.) "

" Equal parts road novel,caper,and historical fiction, this book is about a hard drinking crime writer in the early 40's in Mexico making his way to california with the head of Pancho Villa in the trunk of his car......a good time "

" This one will have you on the edge of your seat gasping for air and calling for more while laughing your butt off. It's fast furious and fun in equal measures! "

" This might have made a better movie. The storyline wasn't bad, but the writing was and the metaphors were repetitive. And apparently the only insult used in 1957 southwest America was "cocksucker,' which got old really fast. "

" Very raw writing. I liked reading Print the Legend and One True Sentence more. "

" It started out pretty fast paced, but I didn't think it carried it's weight through the whole novel. I'm not a big fan of using historical characters in fiction either. "

" Craig McDonald does a great job with his first novel. Gutsy, political tones, heads all over the place! Absurd travels of Hector Lassiter, with an interesting twist at the end. "

" Cartoonish, antic take on James Crumley/James Carlos Blake A mix of historical figures and fictional like Waldrop, Kim Newman, and Ellroy. Perverse way to start a series. The ending pays off. "
