Review: Started it reluctantly, but finished it eagerly!

I purchased the collected novel of Osage Two Diamonds in the recent Kindle Daily Deal. I'm a huge fan of Michael Bunker's work, but my limited exposure to Vonnegut left me thinking I wasn't a fan of his. So, I began this story a bit reluctantly, and with no knowledge of the source material.My reluctance faded quickly and was replaced with an eagerness to devour every word as quickly as possible. The story has brilliant characters, great humor, a quick pace and still manages to fit in some of the "big ideas" Michael Bunker is known for. (Ending a sentence in a preposition is only something I do when absolutely necessary, but odd times require odd measures.)The fast pace, wild adventures and vivid language had me wanting someone in Hollywood to option this story immediately. It's a visual story that would lend itself perfectly to a big budget movie. And I'd love to see Opal on the big screen in her red coat. I bet she'd look fantastic. Yes! Yes!
