Kirkus (starred review): "A giddy homage to testosterone-induced blindness: Hudgens's first is so much fun that it’s easy to forget how difficult it is to portray decent people acting like morons with an artfulness sufficient to transform it into boneheaded genius."
Publishers Weekly: "Hudgens’s sharp dialogue sparkles throughout, and the cat-and-mouse confrontations between Luke, Nick, and the local lawmen are particularly funny."
Charlotte Observer: "Hudgens has captured these characters and this milieu with heartbreaking veracity. The writing is splendid, and the story barrels along."
Los Angeles Times: "Hudgens delivers an ambling, shaggy-dog plot, cameo appearances by Paul Newman and Jack Nicklaus, plus a missing duffel bag of cocaine that threatens to put both Fulmer siblings behind bars. Even more notable, though, is the author's ear for the snappy one-liner." |
