About this product

Product Information

"Lou Berney's novel is so energetic, so droll, and so wheezingly funny that it accomplished what no book ever has before: it made me forget to eat lunch." --Stephen Harrigan, New York Times bestselling author of Challenger Park A fast and funny caper in the tradition of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen, and the Coen Brothers, Gutshot Straight brings a fresh new talent into the crime fiction fold: Louis Berney. He's already won raves for his short fiction collection The Road to Bobby Joe and Other Stories ("Rivals the work of contemporary hotshots T.C. Boyle and Ralph Lombreglia" -- Chicago Tribune ). With Gutshot Straight, Berney is "all in"--sure to win a fervent following with the story of "Shake" Bouchon, fresh out of prison and on the straight and narrow path...after maybe just one last job.

Reviews
A literary sucker punch -- surprising, funny, effervescent. It's a cocktail that won't let you off your barstool till closing., GUTSHOT STRAIGHT has my vote for, among other things, Best McGuffin Ever. Just when you think it can't get any weirder or quirkier, here comes the scene where... well, I better not give that away. Energetic, droll, and wheezingly funny., Virtually every character is memorable, and the chemistry between Shake and Gina is brilliant. The plot turns are constant, and the dialogue is sharp. The bad guys are wonderfully scary, and the locales are vividly drawn. Elmore Leonard might be very pleased to call GUTSHOT STRAIGHT his own.

4 out of 5 stars
by spearman51Feb 20, 2010
"Gutshot" less painful than the title suggests
I liked the male characters quite a bit. The female characters I found less believable, but still ok. It did remind me a bit of Dutch Leonard's novels, but with a less complex plot and with a slower pace. I bought the book (an "ARC", sorry Lou) for two reasons: 1) the author and I share a fairly uncommon last name and 2) reviewers' comparisons with my favorite writer, Elmore Leonard. All in all it was worth my time and I expect that later offerings from Lou Berney will be even more so.
