This book was amusing, irreverent, insightful and
outrageous. A quote from page 37
provides insight to the author’s style, “Never attribute anything to conspiracy
that can be explained by assholery.”
The quote won’t fly on my Amazon review but for my blog, my rules. This is not a book for the faint of heart or
those who oppose satirical writing or
who are offended by profuse profanity. New Orleans is the
setting and the people provide stupendous color. Martin Luther Martin is a New
Orleans swamp rat who crawls out of the swamp and changes the
complexion of New Orleans .
Spinrad is a philosophic game changer. His commentary on society and his views all
expressed by his diverse characters make one consider the depth of depravity in
our elected officials. Ignoring the
social commentary, the book is a grossly depicted view of New Orleans and the outlook of those who
choose to live there.
This was an excellent book that can be read as just an
entertaining story about a New Orleans
in the not to distant future or a treatise on social mores and chicanery.
I enjoyed the book and recommend it to anyone who isn’t
easily offended.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
