Review: One of the more original books I've read in a while

Willie Coyote is one my favorite cartoon characters. He is the embodiment of reckless, driven effort and never-ending will to win through the use of giant boulders and dynamite sticks that would have made Nietzsche proud :) 'The Last Friends of Willie Coyote' by Stephen Thor is an interesting attempt to give Willie Coyote and Roadrunner a closure, of sorts. The story involves three friends, Vaughn, Mike and Ella, finding themselves lost in a desert, and quickly getting involved in rather bizarre adventures that quickly get out of hand. Throw in top-secret military base, a super rich villain with murky motives, Willie's most diabolical invention ever and you have a rather original adventure story that has several interesting plot-lines of redemption and laying old ghosts to rest. I suppose one cannot get lost in a desert, being surrounded by strange phenomena, without curing a psychological trauma or two :)All in all, this is a well polished story. Be warned, it is written in a movie script form, so it might take you a short while to get used to a novel form of narration.Recommended.
