The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse
The rich and famous are being killed off, and it's up to a gin-soaked private eye and his young, inexperienced partner to sort things out. Sound like a book you've read before? Trust me, Ben Varkentine says. You haven't. You really haven't.
After taking everything he wanted from Liberal Hollywood, Joe Eszterhas, author of Showgirls, now lives in the happy heartland of Ohio. How did he get there from here? This book answers that question, spilling many secrets in the process, and Ben Varkentine stumbles across the biggest: Good writing.
There are seemingly millions of books on George W. Bush and the people who love him out there today, some of them funny, some sickeningly astonishing in their revelations. Ben Varkentine's read a lot of them and frankly, he's getting a little tired.
