Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. As soon as I saw the cover, I thought of Planet of the Apes. Then, as I began reading, I thought of Clint Eastwood in Any Which Way of Loose…but so much more twisted. Adam Howe does write some in your face, way out there stories and I love spending time in his dark, wacky, perverted worlds. Shane Moxie is a despicable person, but he does have his moments. At times, I couldn’t keep myself from laughing out loud. For all you cinephobes out there, One Tough Bastard by Adam Howe is full of movie and actor references. I always have difficulty describing Adam Howe’s work. The characters are unique, original, crass, and even seem totally off the wall, at times, but when the ‘chimps’ are down, they are there, dodging bullets and knives. One Tough Bastard by Adam Howe was not one of my favorite stories by him, but I did enjoy my visit. I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of One Tough Bastard by Adam Howe.

Shane Moxie has his head up his butt most of the time. His head is pretty big, but it does fit up there. His hey-day is long over, though you couldn't tell by looking at him, (except for maybe that flab on his chest that used to be muscle.) He's still sporting that rat-tail and a mullet, and his clothing isn't much better. He's obsessed with making a comeback and it's not looking good. He's had a falling out with Duke and never much cared for him anyway. Shane tries to kickstart his comeback by appearing with a different ape and passing him off as Duke. How will that go, do you think? Will Shane's comeback attempt be successful? You'll have to read this to find out!
I have never laughed so hard reading a book in my entire life. Shane Moxie is beyond full of himself and no one takes him seriously, least of all the reader. He calls the few female fans he still has "Moxettes," but of course, being Shane Moxie, he treats them like crap. He's claimed so often that he was in the military, he actually believes it himself.
Match up Moxie with Duke, the signing ape and it's a recipe for disaster. Duke hates Moxie...for reasons, but ends up having to work with the idiot anyway. (How bad does one need to be to look like an idiot, as compared to an ape?) Duke knows sign language and now, thanks to technology, he can actually talk. (In the voice of Kevin Spacey, but it's talking just the same.) The two try to work together, often with disastrous results and it's just...funny.
I'm not saying anything else about the plot because it should be related as the author intended. You can expect lots of action and laughs-enough so that this book flies by and you'll find yourself sorry that it's already over.
Any time Adam Howe asks if I would read and review something, I say yes. That's because I know it's going to be both funny and supremely entertaining. ONE TOUGH BASTARD is no exception and for that reason I highly recommend it!
