The fight Sky engages in to promote Tailburger and its fried burgers is lost from the beginning, but he does not know it. The actions he gets involve in are just insane, but founded on a very sane motive: But everything fails, the NBA player hired to promote the burg this is a satire of American life, not only of meat industry, for those who did not get it.
You get a complete satire painted with thick brushes, no excess is too much. Just wondering if Starbuck O'Dwyer really hates red meat. Jul 11, Rachel rated it it was ok Shelves: This send-up of the fast food industry has some funny moments, but mostly fails to hit the mark. The conclusion is rushed and amateurish, almost as if O'Dwyer had decided he was tired of writing the book and wanted to end it as quickly and dumbly as possible. One of the customer reviews on Amazon notes that the This send-up of the fast food industry has some funny moments, but mostly fails to hit the mark.
One of the customer reviews on Amazon notes that the book was originally vanity published before being picked up by Vintage, and that seems about right. Sep 16, Kim rated it it was ok Shelves: I did find some parts of the book funny but some of the story was just a bit too serious to see the humour in. Although I did like his other two books this one just didn't do it for me.
I still look forward to more from this author and this book has not turned me away from reading more.
Red Meat Cures Cancer by Starbuck O'Dwyer
I received this book from the author for my honest review. Jan 22, Courtney Streeter rated it did not like it. Couldn't really get into this one.
Maybe my heart wasn't completely in it or I was expecting something else. I was looking for sarcastic, I suppose. But nevertheless, I wasn't keen on it - it felt like I was reading a primary school assignment where you have to recount your weekend. Jan 02, Janelle rated it it was ok. This was an interesting satire on the meat industry, similar to "Thank You for Smoking" I may have liked it more as a film, it was difficult to keep interest in a character that wasn't very likable.
I think we were meant to feel some pity for his situation and root for him, but anything bad that happened was brought on by his own choices. May 09, Heather rated it did not like it Shelves: DNF - I tried to stick it out with this book, but it was just not something I could make myself do. Satire is obviously not for me.

I received a copy of this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. Mar 15, Mary Beth Laychak rated it did not like it. I wish I could give this book a negative number. All the characters are just terrible people, I felt no connection to them at all. I think the best way to describe it: The movie "Thank you for Smoking" done poorly. Jul 16, Gregg rated it really liked it. Like a good TV sitcom, full of hyperbolic characters, from-the-gut jokes, a barely tenable plot and a lefthanded swipe at corporate culture.
A good, easy read. Aug 10, Dave rated it it was ok. Far fetched tale of what a small time burger restauarant will do to improve sales. Biggest drawback is the use of "clever" names like "Cill Blinton" are distracting. Some laughs but overall Marlene Smith rated it it was amazing Feb 08, Dale rated it it was amazing Mar 28, Michele Shurbet rated it liked it Jan 12, Colin Jelliffe rated it it was ok Mar 24, Kim Strickland rated it it was amazing Jan 17, Steve rated it really liked it Nov 01, Jess Cochrane rated it it was ok Jul 27, Robb rated it liked it Mar 29, Dirk Stansbury rated it really liked it Mar 04, Bill D rated it it was ok Oct 12, Carrie O'Dell rated it it was ok Mar 20, Alicia Kay rated it liked it Nov 02, There are no discussion topics on this book yet.
