Rezensionen
Don Quixote, USA von Richard Powell
This is a lightweight read, but full of a gentle good humor. I first read it when I was 11 or 12, and thought it was hilarious. While a recent re-reading was not nearly as laugh-out-loud funny—in the intervening years, I’ve learned far too much about the origin of the phrase “banana republic” and the history of U.S. intervention in developing nations—it was still a fine bit of slapstick.
“D for done in, e for extinct, a for assassin, and d for departed.” That spells ‘dead’.
Bill Wayne has a score to settle with five guys who used to be his friends. The same five who put a bullet in his back four years ago in China. Now Bill’s on a cross country bus tour of the United States, a tour that has stops at each of his ‘friends’ locations.
The only problem is that Bill acts completely suspicious, like ALL the time! For no real reason. Which really makes no sense. He also irritates and provokes the investigating sheriff, which really, really makes no sense. If he is meant to be the 'hero' of the story, I'll pass.
On the positive, I did like the book having it's ending in Yosemite! One of my favorite places to visit! I enjoyed reading the descriptions of it as it existed at the time this book was written!… (mehr)
