Chocolate Lizards: A Novel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You'd think the last place a young Harvard educated actor would want to end up - an actor who'd just bombed out in Hollywood and swindled out of his last dime -- is West Texas. Penniless, Erwin Vanderveer, now nicknamed "Harvard" by his new employer and wildcatter extraordinaire, Merle Lusky, plans to make enough money to find his way back to Boston, the place he calls home. He discovers, however, that Merle has different plans for him - to make him his savior from losing his oil business. Even though the task seems impossible for him, Harvard accepts the offer mainly because the money is too good to turn down. Overwhelmed by the culture and dialect, which the author portrays creatively and possibly authentically, Harvard develops an affinity for his new friends, especially when Merle presents a gift to him, a pair of brown lizard skin boots, or "Chocolate Lizards," as Merle calls them. Fascinated with the boots and his new friends, Harvard sets out to help Merle accomplish his dream, not knowing what is in store for himself. Not a literary masterpiece by any means, but a tremendously entertaining book, with a laugh out loud kind of allure and first-rate characterization. CHOCOLATE LIZARDS will keep you in stitches to the final word.
