Product Description
From Amazon
After Hap checks himself out of the hospital and finds Leonard hiding in his bed, the fourth novel in this series kicks into high gear--or what passes for high gear in Lansdale's deceptively laid-back storytelling style. Pretty soon, they've stumbled onto a conspiracy involving gaybasher pornography, and Leonard's ready to exact some vigilante justice over Hap's protestations: "There's few people think a roach exterminator is a murderer. I'm not talkin' about beatin' up and rapin' innocent people who are lookin' for love in all the wrong places. I'm talkin' about stampin' out a plague, man.... I've heard you rave about the horrors of the child sex trade in Thailand, the poor, the plight of blacks and women and gays, and all the stuff you gripe about, but me, I'm gonna do somethin'."
Add in a budding romance between Hap and Brett Sawyer, the nurse who tells him on their first date about how she set her abusive husband on fire--which impresses him much more than it scares him--and you've got the makings of another classic Lansdale thriller. --Ron Hogan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

COOL BEANS,
By
This review is from: Bad Chili (Hardcover)
Joe Lansdale is one of the most humorous writers out there today. From improbably probable situations (like Hap getting bit by a rabid squirrel) to tense, action packed scenes (including the tornado ending), BAD CHILI is the most fun you'll get in a suspense novel! Hap and Leonard are true friends, and their bantering is priceless. Lansdale knows how to use the most innovative dialogue and fleshed out, likeable characters, and he uses both Hap and Leonard, along with Jim Bob and Brett Sawyer, Clinton and Leon, Charlie, etc. The villains are nasty, and the plot deep and twisty. The romantic involvement between Brett and Hap is one of the most true to life and sexy encounters you'll find in fiction.Lansdale is a great writer, one who knows how to write for his audience, entertain and intrigue them. It might be bad chili, but it's superb reading! Bon appetite!!!

joe lansdale. Otherwise known as GOD.,

Wow. Where to begin? If you dont know joe lansdale is I suggest you fly to a bookstore (or website because his stuff is hard to find) and bring your checkbook. Youll need it.I wouldnt feel right if I didn't review one of Lansdales books. As I think he is the best american writer by far writing at this point-probably the world. Basically anything you read by this guy is gonna knock your socks off. Bad Chili is better than anything Elmore Leonard is doing, better than anything Tarantino or these kind of suspense, thriller, shock creators is doing. Simply put his dialogue is so true it hurts, his pacing is faster than the concord, and his plotting is smart and sophisticated. I just hope Hollywood doesnt get a hold of him because theyll rob the soul of his stuff.

A funny laugh out loud, roller coaster!,
By KiKi "AquaOpal" (North Central, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bad Chili (Mass Market Paperback)
My boyfriend got this book. I took it upon myself to read it before he did, and I was surprised how good it was especially after my boyfriend made the comment that it was a "guy book".I recommend this book to anyone that has a good sense of humor, and can deal with violent and vulgar themes. A great book!
