Not a huge sci-fi/fantasy reader…so, in all truthfulness, I read this book to fill a spot in my Kindle reading challenge. That said, I was mildly surprised at how much I enjoyed the book. I’m sure that a lot of that had to do with the fact that the story was set in 1947 San Francisco. Moore even mentions my hometown, Napa. I could easily put myself into the setting; enjoying all the historical references.
Ok. Two-Toes. Eddie Moo Shoes. The Cheese. Lone. Milo. THE SNAKE. The policeman. The General. The Bohemian Club. The kidnapping. The opium den. The Moonman. The ‘ray-gun.” The secret agents. And of course…razzamatazz.
I scratched my head a few times while reading - where is this going? Where is the sci-fi part? But, in the end I was still scratching my head, but smiling all the while.
