Wow

Mr. Winkler took me by surprise in this book. I thought that after being of the market for some time his skill would have been withered a little. But not he. That just goes to show, that what you have been blessed with lives on with you. I enjoyed this book tremendously. Read it again, and again. Dog rape, oh my! Hats of to you Mr. Winkler.
Another masterly work from Winkler

This later novel combines the outrageous wit of The Lunatic and the generous humanity of The Painted Canoe. If you already love Winkler, you will be satisfied. If you are new to his work, this could be the perfect introduction.

Every time I see a new title available from Anthony C. Winkler, I buy it on the faith that he will take me home to the real Jamaica (as opposed to the Jamaica you see in the Sandals and Superclubs promotions). Dog War took me to the Blue Mountains that I love, but most of the action takes place in Kingston and Miami, two places that I can live without too much of a stay. The women characters are all extreme (meaning brow beaters) and the men are ruled by de' pum pum. The plot is imaginatively nuts, but it's Winkler's use of the Jamaican patois that I most enjoy. I would thrill to see another of his titles turned into a film, like The Lunatic. Long live Anthony C. Winkler, from your biggest fan!

This book made me laugh out loud. If you need a light and funny book you can read quickly, this is it.
