FENDER BENDERS - Reviews Fitzhugh is a strange and deadly amalgam of screenwriter and comic novelist and his facility and wit (and his taste for the perverse) put him in a league with Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard... He’s a honky-tonk O. Henry, or a Damon Runyon of the sour-beer circuit. [He] writes like the talking kind of writer, the kind you find presiding over dinner tables and enthroned on bar stools...the wit is...thick on the page and...the story unfolds like a tale spun by your black sheep uncle. -- THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW The action and punch lines come at a furious pace... all in all, this is sharp, sassy, read-in-one-sitting, laugh-out-loud literature. -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY A satisfying murder mystery and spoof of life in the [country music] industry, "Fender Benders" has a delightfully vicious spirit. -- USA TODAY This one is funnier than Garth Brooks singing the best of Nine Inch Nails. Get ready to hee-haw. Bottom line: finger-pickin’ good. -- PEOPLE MAGAZINE A lighthearted spin on a desperate tale -- just like the best country songs. Grade: A- -- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY Fitzhugh applies his school-of-Carl-Hiaasen technique to the capital of country music, dragging in enough characters to fill the stage at the Ryman Auditorium -- KIRKUS REVIEWS In "Fender Benders" Fitzhugh pens a tale worthy of the Grand Ole Opry. -- PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW Fitzhugh keeps the reader off-kilter... by bending the rules a little, [he] delivers a darn cool novel that is buoyed by the author’s deliciously odd sense of humor. -- SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL Back ©2002, Reduviidae, Inc. - All rights reserved
