Summary: Excellent!!!!
Comment: I really really enjoyed this book. I bought it on a whim after Amazon recommended it to me because I bought "Just a Couple of Days" (another good one).. Anyhow the characters in this book (especially Duncan and Pris) just come to life. What I really like about this book though, is the way Duncan admires Pris so inncocently. It reminds me a whole lot of how I admire a certain friend. You'd have to have read it to know what I mean, but Duncan Delaney just radiates a good vibe, innocence. I love books that make the characters come to life like that, so that you know what their take is on any given situation, thats how I felt in this book. This is the type of book that will literally make you laugh out loud, almost shed a tear, yell at a certain character(s), etc. It's also a quick read, the type of book that can be read in a long lazy afternoon. I'd certainly recommend this one for a rainy day and for anyone who just enjoys a highly emotional yet very funny tale.

Summary: Laughter, comedy, tragedy, and joy in 180 succinct pages
Comment: Right from the very first page, Haskett drew me into his story. With a deft hand, he conjures up images, characters, and feelings into your mind. As Duncan travels from the open vistas of Wyoming into the concrete canyons of Los Angeles, Haskett takes you along for a rollicking and sometimes rowdy ride. The characters that he describes in the book jump from the pages and become part of you. At first, the character are simply acquaintances but by the end of the book, Haskett's characters are "family". If you enjoy reading a book with vivid and gritty urban characters, imaginative writing that creates strong feelings in you, well written words that can make you laugh aloud at times and bring tears to your eyes at other times, this is the book for you. You will enjoy it and re-read it again from time to time so that you can experience the universe of human emotions again.

Summary: Duncan Delaney motors along
Comment: "Duncan Delaney" is a great read. It reminds me of early Tom McGuane or Tom Robbins. The story moves right along, from Wyoming to Hollywood, and it kept me laughing all the way. The characters are always entertaining, if sometimes a bit surreal or cartoonish (but in a good way) and I always cared about what happened to them, sometimes more than the charcters seemed to care about themselves. It's both funny (laugh out loud funny) and touching, but I felt a little let down at the ending. I look forward to more from Haskett, and will definately buy his next book.
