Tijuana Donkey Showdown by Adam Howe is one raunchy, ridiculously hilarious ride.
I mean, look at the cover for a hint of what’s inside. I don’t believe your imagination can get you there. LOL
MY REVIEW
Adam Howe’s writing is so over the top, backwoods swamp honky tonk, upchucking, hilariously, side splitting funny, I am almost embarassed to say that I LOVE IT!
I am happy to be back with Reggie in the shithole strip club he bounces at. His life is one bad thing after another and I laugh my way through each adventure.
I don’t know how to describe this raunchy, uncouth, crude, twisted story, but, maybe, Southern pulp fiction is a start. Adam Howe’s imagination is so far out there, I wonder what he’s taking, and I’ll have some please! LOL
The donkey…OMG…the donkey…
As I read his notes about his research, I can only imagine what someone would think if they looked at his browser history.
I love how he makes fun about Nicholas Cage. I love Nic and some of the weird twisted movies he plays in. What’s even funnier, right after I finished reading this, I ended up watching Ghost Rider, a Nicholas Cage movie that, well, you have to see it to ‘believe’ it.
There is a bonus story – Clean Up On Aisle 3 – This is one robbery where the owner has a surprise that you will never see coming…and never want to.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Tijuana Donkey Showdown by Adam Howe.

GOODREADS BLURB
Reggie Levine, ex-boxer turned bouncer, and hapless hero, has barely recovered from his ordeal in Damn Dirty Apes, when he is called back to action. Recruited to a retrieve a Chinese crested terrier from a fleapit roadside zoo, where the ugly effing showdog has been mistaken for the chupacabra, Reggie finds himself embroiled in a deadly criminal conspiracy involving neo-Nazi drug smugglers, a seedy used-car salesman, a wannabe serial killer, an ornery Vietnam veteran, a badass veterinarian, a freakishly endowed adult entertainment donkey named Enrique, and in an explosive cameo, an Academy Award winning Hollywood icon.
From Adam Howe, writer of Die Dog or Eat the Hatchet, Black Cat Mojo, and the winner of Stephen King’s On Writing contest, comes another slice of pulp Southern crime, 80s action, pop Americana, and pitch-black comedy.

It’s pretty out there. lol
Okay. now how can I not read this, Sherry! LOL
Come on in, the water’s fine. lol
I need this book in my life! Perfect timing. Off to grab it now!
Adam writes some wild stuff and I’m glad you’re joining the party.
I definitely don’t know what I would think about this but your review definitely has me curious to find out what it’s all about!
Glad to hear you’re curious. Adam writes some wild stuff and he always manages to shake me up. lol
That cover made me giggle. This sounds like some over the top fun. The research must have been fun.
SO much fun. Every time I get one of his books, I just know I will have to read it start to finish, especially if it’s a Reggie story. I think Trouble is his middle name. 🙂
I knew that one day it would catch up with me! In late summer 1967 I was a teenaged Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA, undergoing final combat training before they shipped us across the big pond for an all-expenses-paid thirteen month vacation to the tropical paradise called Vietnam. During my (our) time at Pendleton, we managed three (?) trips across the border to quaint, lovely Mexican village of Tijuana. As Marines are wont to do, we over-imbibed of the alcoholic offerings from the bar senoritas. Luckily, a lot of those memories didn’t register (or, my feeble brain blocked them). I do, however, remember a certain donkey show, of sorts. Ah, the memories! 🙂
