Ce nouveau roman de la série Bourbon Kid est un peu particulier car le héros qui a donné son nom à la série n'y figure pas. Néanmoins, la suite de Psycho Killer verra le retour du Bourbon Kid et officialisera l'appartenance de Psycho Killer à la série. Aussi déjanté que les autres romans, avec en plus des scènes sexuelles, ce livre se dévore aussi vite que les précédents. ( )

Bang, bang, bang !!! Bang ! Bang... Zzz... Zzzzz...

Un style un peu impertinent, forcément dans un monde toujours plus puritain, ça apporte du contraste. Mais avec un peu de recul, cette impertinence est à la marge, un vernis. Et sous ce vernis, une soupe de clichés, une fondue savoyarde pourrie de fils blancs.

Tu m'étonnes que l'auteur soit anonyme. Alan Smithee aurait été plus pertinent.

Yes, there is a style a bit cheeky ... Inevitably, it brings the contrast in an increasingly puritanical world. But with hindsight, this impertinence is at the margin, a varnish. And beneath this varnish, a soup of clichés.

It does not surprise me that the author is anonymous. Alan Smithee would have been more relevant. ( )

I really wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this book. I ended up staying up late to finish reading it. I honestly didn't notice the typos or grammatical errors that others seem to have noticed but then I was engrossed in the story itself. It is very tongue in cheek and needs to be read as a parody. The characters are such obvious stereotypes of typical slasher/horror films characters as is the small town with hidden secrets. There is a lot of blood and gore/sex/gross situations but then if you think back to the cheesy slasher movies of the 70's and 80's, they are chock full of the same. All in all, I found the book to be a fun read which brought back fond memories of cult classic slasher/horror movies. I am not surprised in the least that the novel is being developed into a movie by none other than Tobey Maquire's Material Pictures. Thank you to the author and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this fun book! ( )

Not for the faint of heart that's for sure. A lot of gore and action with a little humor mixed in. A nicely blended piece of work. ( )
