Joe R. Lansdale ´ 6 CHARACTERS SUMMARY í PDF, eBook or Kindle ePUB ´ Joe R. Lansdale FREE READ Leather Maiden Ries of eerie inexplicable events that have recently occurred in town And he knows his suspicions are right on when he finds himself dragged into a deadly game of blackmail and murder that clearly has evil as its only goal Leather Maiden is a brash amalgam of suspense raw humor and mystery that unfolds in the vividly rendered shadowy lowlands of eastern Texas It’s country noir as only Joe Lansdale can do it. Reading this book was a peculiar experience for me It was a page turner There was a really clever mystery that was solved But in the end I felt that a little less than satisfied I m not entirely sure why thoughI think I m going to have to let my thoughts simmer a little bit and write later OK I took a shower I do some of my best thinking in there and I think that I have it Possible SPOILERS When I finished this book I felt hollow inside I had witnessed a fast paced and uniue adventure but I didn t feel very good about it It wasn t that I needed a Hollywood ending the ending wasn t even the problem I had already pretty much figured that out anyway What I didn t have was a sense that I had experienced anything I didn t really care much about these people When I got to the last page my thought was Well there you go Perhaps this was intended to show what it feels like for a returning Vet Cason the main characternarrator served in Ira or what it can feel like to have a certain set of emotional issues Maybe it was meant to show that there is very little difference between the races or people of different social backgrounds There are just good people and bad people Sometimes good people do bad things and sometimes the good things some people do are to cover up bad thingsMaybe it s all just a gameI suppose that there could be another issue at work here it s a matter of personal taste There was a time when I read a lot of comics I was hosting a radio show on which I interviewed many comic creators and we reviewed and discussed as wide a variety as possible So as a matter of research I read a lot of books I might not normally have picked up Some of them I liked and continued to read Others not so muchI love Batman I m not crazy about The Punisher This book is like the latter Bruce Wayne s parents were murdered but Batman doesn t kill Frank Castle s family was killed and there is a major dad guy body count when The Punisher comes to townThe Leather Maiden is also filled with colorfully vulgar language and gruesome details of crime scenes I m not even close to being a prude but seriously how many times do we have to be reminded that a person will lose control of their bowels when they dieBut that s just meHmm I just went back to proof what I had written and I had a couple thoughts First that one of the best things about reading is that it makes you think The optimistic part of my nature tells me at least this book made me thinkFinally I was reminded of a passage in the book A character remarks that the race agitating minister is likely to go home pop in a DVD of the news coverage and jerk himself off while he watches what he has stirred up My cynical side thinks that perhaps this book s author could be doing the very same thingI m pretty sure that I am wrong about that last part though
