Freaky Deaky

By: Elmore Leonard

Narrated by: Frank Muller

“Wonderfully wicked…a nonstop, pedal-to-the-metal romp.”
—Chicago Tribune

Over-the-hill former counter-culture SDS revolutionaries decide to turn bomb-making—and detonating—from a political statement to a profitable enterprise in the master Elmore Leonard’s electrifying and explosively funny thriller Freaky Deaky. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch calls Leonard, “the world’s greatest cops ‘n’ robbers novelist.” The Seattle Times says, “Leonard is more than just one of the all-time greats of crime fiction. He’s fast becoming an authentic American icon.” No matter where you wish to place the man who created the character of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, lately of TV’s hit series Justified, in the pantheon of mystery and noir detective fiction demigods—John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain and the like—there is no denying that nobody does it better than the Grand Master Elmore Leonard!

Hold onto your hat

Elmore Leanord does it again all the ingredients to make you laugh,hold your breath, and just wonder who's next. Detroit never looked so good.

A classic

Combine Elmore Leonard with a Frank Muller narration and you have a genuine classic listening experience.

Leonard at his best

Wild fun, funny dialogue, changing allegiances and a very unusual and clever plot line distinguish this captivating crime story. Fascionating characters and a journey into a world of fascinating characters. Compelling.

Master by a Master

Would you consider the audio edition of Freaky Deaky to be better than the print version?

Yes. Elmore Leonard was born to write for the audio genre. All of his novels are amazingly entertaining and because they are all conversation-filled, audio playback, especially when read by the erstwhile Frank Muller (maybe the best that ever was) or Groege Guidall (alive and the best there is). I've read/listened to almost all of E. Leonard's works and long for more.

What other book might you compare Freaky Deaky to and why?

Any Elmore Leonard...Any!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Always makes me laugh.

Any additional comments?

I wish your service were cheaper; I go through these books very quickly. I listen in the car, the gym and when I'm home alone, cooking.

Glad that I finally got to Audible.com.

Excellent Performance of Classic Elmore Leonard

Great performance by Frank Muller. The story is good, though some of the '60s radical details seem a little corny (seriously, who has a "craving" for LSD?). If you're new to Leonard, start with something like Swag, but if you know you like him you'll enjoy this.
