About this audiobook
Nick Copeland has lost his mind only twice in his forty-eight years—once in college on a bad acid trip, and once at this very moment, as the mountain of bills he’s been hiding from his family finally topples. But Nick’s chance meeting with an old friend, Rob Johnson, pulls on the memory wires. Rob—who’s already lost his wife and job—seems resigned to a life of basic cable and Chinese takeout. Suddenly, the answer to their problems arrives: two airtight jars of high-grade heroin they’d buried under the football field of their old college campus.
Returning to the scene of the crime-that-never-happened seems like a cinch—that is, until Nick takes a trip down Memory Lane and a sharp right turn on Law Enforcement Drive. This is not the beads-and-bellbottoms of their youths, but maybe the Stones were right, anyway: you can’t always get what you want.
Tarintino meets Mamet in this action-packed trip from the prolific literary novelist J.P. Smith.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5After attempting to read this book I can't tell you why now I wanted to read this book other then it must have sounded good at the time. The book started out alright. I was not fully invested in Nick or Rob but there was something sort of charming about them. They are the down and out losers but I always like a underdog. So I stuck with the book for about the first 6 chapters. The book then went into my started but have not completed book. Going through this pile I picked this book up again. I still felt the same way about this book as I had before but I really was wanting to give it the benefit of a doubt. Which I was starting to warm up to this book despite the language and the conversations that read like a twitter post with a limited amount of characters. Yet when I got to the silliness of "Pussy Galore pleasuring herself with a black, rubber penis lathered with Crisco" I was done.
