5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best Hap and Leonard yet!!, 21 Jul 2009
By Mr. P. Thompson (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It usually takes me a while to read a book but I finished Vanilla Ride in a day, could not put it down.

Can be read without reading the other Hap and Leonard novels but I recommend reading them all as they are all excellent and you really grow to love the characters. I really cannot praise this book enough.

It is a shame Joe Lansdale does not have a British publisher as he is one of the best story tellers out there and you cannot really go to anyone else for Mojo tales and a slice of Texas as good as he does it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Back with a flurry of cussing and incompetence, 19 Oct 2009
A return for the series that I never thought would, given the seeming closure at the end of 'Captains Outrageous', Joe Lansdales awesome Hap n Leonard are back - fans of the duo rejoice!
This isn't the best in the series by any means (I'll leave that honour to Rumble Tumble) but it's a hilarious romp through the East Texas badlands and is as much fun as you would expect it to be, being back in the company of the eminently lovable badboys who just want to do some good. All of the vital ingredients are present and correct: crackling dialogue, brilliant insults, bad-attitude, action, death and vanilla cookies. Lansdale retains his ability to describe wince-inducing fight-scenes and action better than 95% of writers out there and the title character is an interesting addition to the world that now looks like, saints-be-praised, continuing after the conclusion of this.
Fans of the series will lap this up, newbies should go back to the start of the series and work your way through them. You won't be disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good ride, 21 Sep 2009
By Fulvia Calorio (Rome, Italy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I enjoyed the charachters and the witty dialogues but the story wasn't as good as some of the previous novels.

I love Hap and Leonard books. The banter between the characters has me laughing out loud and annoying my wife. Read more
