"(Calling this) a strange novel could be the understatement of the year. It is a preposterous, absurd, but hilarious black comedy... Yet even in this farcical and satirical tale, a subtle theme of being yourself exists. Sublime character development consists of psychos, weirdos … and Willie Nelson. However, it is refreshingly comedic and would make a great movie. Give it a try; you have nothing to lose but your sanity."
Five Stars – Readers’ Favorite
“If Hunter S. Thompson and Elmore Leonard had a baby it would be Steve Ochs. This book is fucking hilarious. Highly recommend!”
Brian Frazer, author of Hyper-Chondriac: One Man's Quest to Hurry Up and Calm Down, Cartoons With My Dad: How Art Drew Us Together, New Yorker Cartoonist, and director of the upcoming documentary The Joke
"It’s epic, like Game of Thrones. Really funny and compelling. (Ochs) has a remarkable ability to turn a phrase. I kept going “wow” to myself all over the place.”
Paul Provenza, Producer/Director The Aristocrats, Host The Green Room with Paul Provenza on Showtime, author of Satiristas
"Every page is stuffed so fat full of jokes, quips, puns, metaphors, similes, allusions and other monkeyshines that it’s actually exhausting to read…A magnificent piece of work. (Ochs’) magnum opus (and) a truly original and towering example of literary art."
John Bizarre, Author “It So Doesn’t Suck to be You,” “Letters to a Dead Guy” and “Giving You the Stink Eye”
"Shenanigans among law breakers and enforcers in Music City make for an entertaining romp. Tongue-in-cheek humor propels the novel to a potent climax."
Kirkus Reviews
“Another piece of Ochs brilliance. Ochs' brain is like that party you really want to go to but you know if you stay too long you may never find your way home…and you go anyway.“
Jillian Franklyn, Emmy nominated writer, Seinfeld, "Yada, Yada, Yada" episode
“Ochs is a compelling storyteller who writes with authority and brio. This book is a captivating, hilarious gallop, populated with characters who manage somehow to be larger than life yet still relatable. Ochs’ narrative style provides a lovely breeze that carries his obsessive (in a good way) eye for detail.”
Leah Krinsky, Emmy-winning writer, Conan O’Brian, Dennis Miller
“Let’s face it, some authors are just really freaking funny. Ochs is one of those. Wild story, fresh takes on beloved crime novel characters, sparkling dialogue, and laughs on every page. Want to know how it ends? Good, you’ll never guess.”
Rich Leder, Bestselling author of Let There Be Linda and Cooking for Cannibals, award-winning screenwriter of Primal
“Writing intelligent humor is nothing to laugh at, yet in the case of this engrossing outlandish tale one cannot help but be consistently seduced into hysterics. The cinematic potential is hard to ignore due to the dynamic characters and vivid imagery jumping off the pages. Great read!”
Buddy Winston, Comedian, Staff Writer The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Author of An Out of Buddy Experience
“The book is brilliant. Ochs doesn’t waste a line. Years of stand-up comedy has
trained Ochs the writer to keep every line crisp and pointing toward a conclusion.
His rich cultural references keep the reader informed while not taking ourselves
too seriously. I couldn’t put it down.”
Gary Kroeger, SNL alumnus, Match Game host, co-host of The Gary and Kenny Podcast
“Ditto.”
Kenny Ceizler, Director of The Chelsea Handler Show, Wizards of Waverly Place, co-host of The Gary and Kenny Podcast
