Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
The eighth in Friedman's series of detective stories featuring the Kinkster--that is himself--sports yet another distinctive title in a series that includes the memorable likes of Armadillos & Old Lace (1994) and Elvis, Jesus, & Coca-Cola (1993). This time, our hero reluctantly takes on a case that involves finding the birth mother of Ratso, the "weather-beaten Dr. Watson to [Kinky's] postnasal Sherlock Holmes" --a case that unsurprisingly turns out to be a lot more dangerous than it first seems. A possible inheritance is involved, and Ratso's curiosity about his origins almost costs him his life and the lives of Kinky and a few of his drinking buddies. As usual, there are plenty of occasions for Kinky to pronounce on just about anything--for instance, "A great deal of good for the advancement of mankind has been accomplished between circumcision, when they cut off the tip of your dick, to crucifixion, where they throw the whole Jew away." Now, that's an aside! Benjamin Segedin

From School Library Journal
YA?Kinky Friedman, perhaps the only mystery writer who uses his own name for that of his fictional detective, is hired to find the birth mother of his friend Ratso (a.k.a. Larry Sloman). Among the obstacles in solving the case are the fact that Ratso doesn't tell him all he knows (including the death of a previous investigator) and that he brings yet another sleuth on to the case due to Friedman's lack of a P.I. license. Set in New York and Florida, God Bless John Wayne is an entertaining romp of a mystery. The pace is good and the characters are lively.?Clodagh Lee, Chantilly Regional Library, VA

Kinky, has some of the most heinous humor with a direct in your face harmony woven into his own lifesytle observations. He can pack more wisdom in a sentence or paragraph than the average WASP can deal with but it is fun trying. The characters drum into your memory like the best of seifield without the dull commericals and TV editors watering down the context or meaning. So take yourself to the wild side of NYC , Texas, and homcide

So it has an element or two of foreshadowing that you can see a mile away. And he ain't Shakespeare. Still Kinky has irreverant fun all the way through an attempt on his life, a few bottles of Jameson, a case of Cuban cigars, two Zippos and a tap dance rendition of Swan Lake by the lesbian dance class overhead. It's fun. Fans will not be disappointed

I usually read one Kinky Friedman book per summer. I find them the perfect getaway from the politically correct, inhibited times in which we sometimes attempt to live. Friendman's lair (Vandam St.) is only a few blocks from our own perch in Greenwich Village NY. Like him, I care deeply for espresso (French Italian blend from Porto Rico Importing Co.) and cigars. Our taste in animals differs. I prefer dogs and he is a cat man. We both share a dislike of lesbian dance classes being conducted above our digs. All in all, I dig the cat's lifestyle in a very big way man. His books don't take long to read. Buy one at JFK and chances are good you'll be done with it by the time you arrive somewhere....well alright....ANYWHERE! In his latest, he and his good buddy Ratso go hunting Ratso's birth parent, as if someone would ever take credit for giving birth to Ratso. For me the funniest parts take place with the Kinkster in Florida. I don't know why. Somehow the idea of a Jewish guy in Florida just seems so out of place. Anyway, settle down with a pot of espresso, a nice cigar, a bottle of Jamesons, and have a few laughs.
