Review: Witty and Entertaining
Rating: 5 out of 5

Michael Lamendola has created the perfect characters for this romp into the seamy underbelly of San Diego crime: two drinking buddies that stumble their way into a small-time crime boss and his smart-mouthed sons out to score big in a small kind of way. What starts as a street mugging slowly escalates into a minor world war complete with back-room gambling, street-racing, kidnappings, knife-fights, shoot-outs and plenty of Johnnie Walker Blue to wash it all down with. Told in a side-splitting first-person narrative that propels this fast-paced story to its believable denouement, this is a fun read and the perfect book to kill a weekend with. Recommended.
