Names! They fascinate writer Molly D. Campbell. Always curious about how a name might influence personality, Molly began a Twitter stream of names with one-sentence descriptions that soon took over her imagination. Loretta Squirrels, a moonshiner who also beats up her husband, gained notoriety on Twitter. Loretta was swiftly followed by eccentric dentists, dogs with human characteristics, cab drivers, Country and Western singers, and a movie star or two. Each story in Characters In Search of a Novel is a quick & often rib-tickling read—this book is just what you’d want on vacation, in a waiting room, or on a long plane ride. (via goodreads).
My Review:
This was a funny book. So funny in that I laughed so hard it made me cry. I love this type of humor. The only thing that I can compare it to is Jim Carrey on In Living Color. Only it is one crazy character after another. It is so hard to pick a favorite. However Loretta Squirrels is making me still laugh. The illustrations were like caricatures. I highly recommend this book, and to also see what other characters this great author comes up with. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review from OrangeBerry Book Tours, however all opinions are my own.
