If you're like me and loved watching Willie Coyote growing up, this book will fill a special spot in your heart! The plot is an innovative take on the story of Willie Coyote and the Roadrunner, with an added element of a road trip with friends, a secret military base and more. It is a thrilling story set in the American southwest, that never seems to run out of steam.But first, let's get one thing out of the way -- the format in which this book is written is screenplay as a book. What does this mean? Personally, I think this gives the book an artsy, old school feel to it, also it makes you feel as though you are immersed in an old action-packed Willie and Roadrunner cartoon!This screenplay is ripe to be made into a Hollywood movie in the future. Also, the philosophical examination of the meaning of the Coyote's eventual capturing the roadrunner (yes, the author touched on this taboo subject) multiplies the likability of this book and makes it a great element for an actual movie. My only small qualm I have is that I wish the author expanded the part of this book dealing with psychological and philosophical aspects of the Coyote-Roadunner relationship.While not everyone may get used to this format or find it as easy to read as a regular book, I personally enjoyed it as I love finding books that differentiate themselves from the rest. Perhaps, a regular book format would be more popular with people, but I'm holding out for a movie.Lovely book! Highly recommended.
