May be the funniest book ever written!, Oct 5 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: BAJA OKLAHOMA (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is so funny that one feels one must read portions aloud to anyone within hering distance. The dialogue is brilliant. Though very broad, it is always true and real. I only wish Eric Partridge were still alive....he would have found countless words - and lines - to incoporate into his "Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English." The fact that it takes place mostly in a Texas bar and is about country-Western music should not obscure the fact that this book is a kind of minor masterpiece. Bravo!

The best book I have ever read! Outrageously funny!, Nov 15 1996
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: BAJA OKLAHOMA (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book many years ago and loaned it out. It never came back! I havesearched everywhere for a copy. Dan Jenkin's book inspired me so much and made
me laugh til I cried! I can't remember all 10 of his "The 10 Stages of
Drunkeness" referenced in the book, but my favorite one is number seven. I
can't use all that language here but it's the level you reach at dinner time!!
I must have this book because the book I have been working on is somewhat
similiar to "Baja Oklahoma". I can't wait to read it again
I would like nothing more than to somehow reach him and give him credit
for such great work. Any ideas?

5.0 out of 5 stars
I can quote much of it from memory. It's that good., Dec 1 1998
By lgar@brinet.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Baja Oklahoma (Hardcover)
Marvelous. Magnificent. Fill in your favorite superlative and go for broke.I've read this book so many times I can quote much of it from memory, but it never gets stale. I'm always entertained ... and deeply impressed not only with Jenkins' style and talent, but with his earthy insight into the human condition and the latent goodness in us all.
You can live a perfectly fine life without Dan Jenkins, but you're missing important things to think about if you ever finish laughing.
Listmania!
