A review by thomaswjoyce
Death Thing by Andrew Hilbert
4.0
Mental!
Mental.
I'd like to just leave the review as that one word. Am I referring to the story? The characters? The author?
Yes.
But I like the sound of my keys clacking too much to just leave it at that. I enjoy Hilbert's style, equally funny as it is horrific. He can write some crazy-ass characters (see Invasion of the Weirdos), but Gil takes the biscuit. Frustrated by the repeated break-ins of his car, he sets up some amateur booby-traps that should see him sent to prison. But this is the bizarre version of America that serves Hilbert's funny imagination well and allows us to watch the insane and entertaining events play out to their extreme resolutions.
It makes for a fast read and, if you zoom through this, go check out Invasion of the Weirdos. I love Hilbert's thoroughly entertaining characters and dialogue and off-the-wall scenarios. More please!
