Mr. McLarty is a master of characterization. His quirky, endearing characters come to life for me - I can both see and hear them as I read his words. He is also a truly gifted narrator. So I end up with the novel in two forms - printed and audible- first reading, then listening. The best of both worlds.
The book jacket has a review likening this novel to A Confederacy of Dunces and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. ACoD is one of my all-time favorite books, but there is no likeness between the two protagonists, other than large heads and weight. What the two novels do have in common is well-drawn characters, with many eccentricities. The allusion to OFOtCN befuddles me. There is no Nurse Ratched, no oppression, no cohersion. The only commonality I found between the three novels, is that they are very good reads.

Another great tale from Ron McLarty

I love every book Ron Mc Larry has ever written. There just are not enough of them. He is also a wonderful performer of audiobooks. However, I wish he would read less, and write more. His characters are recognizable, and the plots make me feel good. He is probably my favorite author and audiobook performer. Reading his own books, only makes them better.

Ron McLarty is a True Genius
