The funniest thing I've read in a long time, Jun 9 2001
By Sam Stone - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Grand Canyon, Inc. (Paperback)
I have not read any of Everett's other works but I will now. Grand Canyon Inc. is hilarious--a wild mad-cap romp following the life of red-blooded American, Rhino Tanner, hunter, developer, man's man, and a complete moron. This somewhere between Vonnegut and Voltaire satire chronicals the rise of a shallow mad-man entrepeneur who wants to develop the Grand Canyon. He rides through life on a raft of lies and destroys everything beautiful in his path. Read this book--it is short, brilliant, and laugh-out-loud funny.

Best Comic Writer in America, Sep 16 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Grand Canyon, Inc. (Paperback)
This novel convinces me, were I in need of convincing, that Percival Everett is the most devious, unscrupulpous, and altogether brilliant writer of comedy in America. Hell, he'sprobably the best writer of anything.

Fabulous!, July 10 2001
By Melissa Van Orden - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Grand Canyon, Inc. (Paperback)
This is an immensely enjoyable read. Once I cut it open, I could not put it down. Everett's main character, Rhino Tanner, is so detestable, you end up actually accepting him simply because he revels in his own distorted and destructive ideas. 'Comedy with fangs'? I totally agree.
Listmania!
