Book Description

Bill Fitzhugh, author of Radio Activity, Fender Benders, Pest Control (and others) described Duncan Delaney and the Cadillac of Doom best when he said:

As God is my witness, 'Duncan Delaney and the Cadillac of Doom' is the first novel I've ever read where a frozen Cornish hen is used as a weapon. And that's not the craziest part of the story. A.L. Haskett opens a can of worms by asking the age-old question: Where does a sensitive cowboy artist go to escape the clutches of his mother's wealth so he can pursue his art in peace? Well, not Los Angeles, but Duncan Delaney doesn't know this. Haunted by his father's unfortunate death, Duncan is spurred to action by love and a lunatic Indian pal. Like so many who come to La La Land searching for a brighter future, Duncan finds himself on the seedy side of Hollywood trying in vain to dodge the Cadillac of Doom. A finely told cautionary tale for anyone fond of strippers, bikers, and art dealers.

2 out of 5 stars I can't believe this got so many good reviews.......2007-05-17

I bought this book because of the good reviews it received on Amazon and because it was compared to the works of Tom Robbins and Christopher Moore, both of whom I love. But, to compare this book to those authors' work is downright insulting to Robbins and Moore. This book wants to be a screenplay and it reads like one. The dialogue is so trite that it made me cringe to read it and the character development was also very poor. It was very difficult to finish this book even though it was relatively short.

3 out of 5 stars Banjamin alone is worth the ride.......2007-05-12

"Quick, easy and fun" ... yup, that's how I found A.L. Haskett's debut novel, Duncan Delaney & the Cadillac of Doom.

I'm not sure why Bantam compares Haskett to Tom Robbins per se. Actually, I would compare him to Hemmingway or Chandler just as much as I would compare him to Robbins, which isn't saying there's an obvious comparison at all, really. His characters are unconventional, sure, but his writing style is simple, streamlined and almost journalistic. This, all in all, makes the book easy to zip through.

The only issue I had was with Duncan Delaney; I didn't find him a great protangonist. I didn't find his dialogue all that real, which made it difficult to keep my interest. But Benjamin Lonetree, on the other hand, is great fun and redeems Haskett's ability to characterize. His dialogue is fresh, his actions are bold, and he just outshines all the characters in the book.

5 out of 5 stars An outstanding story.......2006-05-08

You're going to love Duncan Delaney if you're male. Between he and his buddy, they do just about everything that you ever envisioned yourself doing, perhaps not exactly, but in concept at least. Things move fast, and there's not a lot of words wasted in this story. It's not long, you'll probably read it in a day. But it's very satisfying. I'm not sure if I'm going to read it again, but I'm not going to give it away like all the other books that I read. At least, not for a while.

5 out of 5 stars A.L. Haskett - Can't wait for your next one!.......2006-03-09

I recieved this book as gift from a family member who I had introduced to Christopher Moore. To her credit she found this gem that C. Moore had recommended.

And they were both right on target. What a rollicking, page turning read.

A budding painter ventures to LA and finds subjects and people that were beyond his imagination. His art draws acolytes from a strip club and they fast make themselves fixtures in his apartment.

The guiless painter ( Duncan Delaney) has left Wyoming and a poor relationship to find that the most intriguing of women are the least simple to understand.

What's great: All of the salient characters are well fleshed.
The plot gives some nice twists.
Laugh out loud contrivances.
Fantasy explicating real life.

What's not: Too short.

It's a fun game that Haskett plays and there is craziness around every corner. Haskett drives home a message - "I was a victim of a series of accidents - as are we all."

So A.L. Hasket what about that next book?

5 out of 5 stars Best book I have read in a while.......2005-04-21

I think I found this book by the comparison to (and favorable review of Christopher Moore). It has great dry humor, a mind-boggling (to me) cast of eccentric characters, and a very poignant and inspiring set of endings (because in a sense it has more than one ending). I sure do hope this guy writes more, I am on here looking because I see this was written way back in '00. This is definitely one of the best books I have read in the last few years. This would make a fantastic movie.

      4 out of 5 stars Excellent Study Guide.......2005-04-20

      I'm a graduate student and we're required to take a semester of Public Mgmt Economics. I'd never taken Econ in high school or college, so I was quite lost. I sat around in the bookstores looking for a user-friendly, succinct study guide and finally settled on this one. It's got much of the information you need to know about basic microeconomics, including virtually the same charts, equations and short examples you'd get in a class lecture. And it's TINY compared to the other guides out there, so it's very portable - good for last-minute studying. It helped me a great deal and I'm planning on keeping it for future use!

      5 out of 5 stars EZ-101 Study Keys.......2005-02-03

      This book has been a big help in economic classes that I've taught at the high school level. I'd expect this book to be of great aid to high school teachers, college students (that are cramming for tests) and reference librarians. A real aid jolting the memory on economic terms and concepts. How does the supply curve look when it is inelastic? pg 48 (KEY 37) Price Elasticity of Supply The price is so reasonable for EZ-101 Study Keys Microeconomics that I've purchased two sets (What economic principle?) (KEY 20) pg 27 Demand? or (KEY 22) pg 29 Quanity Demanded? The EZ-101 Study Keys Macroeconomics is good too. Both are cheap (economical) ways to boost your grades.

          5 out of 5 stars Action.......2006-03-30

          History of cinema as it stands has been basically changing over the last decade or so. Like all forms of history, the on-going quality of film history can affect how we regard the past. However with the DVD revolution and the like, more and more of such stuff as the Silent Era and foreign films is resurfacing, affecting how we view current cinema. For instance, it was a popular idea of the past that D.W. Griffith invented all of the techniques used towards how we edit movies today. With more and more pre-Griffith silents appearing, his height on that column is gradually decreasing...

          This book is, in general, pretty up to date with the current times, ending roughly late nineties or so. Each section of film history has its own two-page spread, which is neat and VERY nice. Some of the choices are kind of surprising, but in a refreshing way, not a "what the--?" way.

          I don't know much about how it would help someone who doesn't know that much about film, but it seems pretty user friendly and its conciseness prevents it from becoming too much a cineastes booklet. I don't agree with some of their opinions (I happen to like Abbott and Costello, I don't care what you say), but for a quick, "Okay so here's what's up" it is pretty well-made.

          5 out of 5 stars A Gem!.......2000-07-28

          This little book is as much fun to read as watching one of your favorite films. Not only is it entertaining and informative, but it manages to be comprehensive and highly discriminating at the same time. The authors are fully aware of the "auteurs" who count, of the films that matter. I've read hundreds of film books, and I can guarantee that you won't find a better value.
