It also shows how masterful Whittington was at making his settings come alive. <br /><br />I'll be interested in reading your take on <i>Rampage</i> when you get to it. It was the first Whittington novel I read and I enjoyed it lot, though it probably wasn't the best place to start. It's not as tightly plotted as his earlier work, but it has lots of enjoyably over-the-top moments. A favorite line of dialog is when a local preacher, Rev. Bush, says: "A night of prayer and good music would be better for the immortal souls of those godless young people than a night of funky rock."John Nailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420131885508048131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629621328351861035.post-41065317349233919662015-07-16T19:40:17.005-07:002015-07-16T19:40:17.005-07:00Whittington is oneof my favorites.

Looking forward to it. Some day I'll try one of his Ashley Carter plantation porn novels too.
