nigellicus 's review for:

The Elephant of Surprise by Joe R. Lansdale
5.0

This one is pretty much off the hook, all-out chase and action from the very beginning as Hap and Leonard rescue a girl on a flooded highway on the middle of storm and bad guys with guns come after her. Bad guys and worse weather, it's an intoxicating mix and a fast read, smoother than usual as there aren;t many opportunities for the guys to just straight up hang around being lovable assholes becasue they're too busy being redneck paladins to the rescue. Absolutely ripping.
