I'm picturing: sweatshirts.<br /><br />"Did you bring me around just to look at this garbage?" I'm picturing: dirty sweatshirts with old food scraps, discarded paper cups, and a bad smell.<br /><br />"Why didn't you just kill them and toss them out the window?" I am confused. And even once I've parsed "hoods," the sentence doesn't read right. I mean, anybody who's ever disposed of a body knows you can't just "toss" a dead hood out the window. Way too bulky and cumbersome.Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660994103025515363.post-13628241074463655932012-06-19T03:21:17.597-07:002012-06-19T03:21:17.597-07:00I just don't understand why Robert Mitchum has...I just don't understand why Robert Mitchum has been turned into a smurf. It just makes no sense! The focus really should have been on the woman. It looks like there's a really good, sexy cover there.<br /><br />I might let them slide on the title fail. If I'm reading the back cover copy correctly, this is the first Morocco Jones book and the apparent subtitle might really be one, but meant to tie into a naming pattern for later books.DemetriosXnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660994103025515363.post-79826194056987249492012-06-18T19:43:39.711-07:002012-06-18T19:43:39.711-07:00I have another book in the series, and poor Morocc...I have another book in the series, and poor Morocco's color is just as bad on that one.<br /><br />http://www.librarything.com/work/6368259/book/75760825D.A.
