This book will blow you away!
Charlie Huston's Six Bad Things is even bigger and badder than its predecessor. Six Bad Things explodes with violence and gore, balanced with humor and thrills that will have you reeling. Huston has done it again and delivered a piece of work that sucks you into its world with its sharp dialogue, distinct characters, and endless action. Hank Thompson is laying low in Mexico until a Russian backpacker discovers and attempts to extort him. Now Thompson is on the run again from the FBI and very dangerous men who want his money. He weaves and snakes his way through Mexico, California, and Vegas using his wits, smart mouth, guns, and money to survive. With everybody on his tail, Hank barely has time to get things sorted out. But when he finally does think things through, he realizes that all he has to do is kill everybody.

I.Can.Not.Be.Caught.With.The.Money.
That's Henry's anthem in "Six Bad Things", he has the money, everyone wants the money and/or him dead!

Henry has long hair, a Mexican tan and several new tattoos. On his forearm he has six slash marks, representing the "Six Bad Things" Henry did in New York, the six people he killed that is!
By the end of "Six Bad Things" Henry is responsible for four more "bad" things~
I thought this 2nd installment was excellent, a very fast paced read and alot of gritty action in all new settings, Mexico & Las Vegas.
I absolutely loved his new colorful characters - Rolf, Sid, Sandy Candy, "T" and his dog Hitler!
Charlie Huston is a master of his craft. I can't wait to read more of his books. So far Huston's writing is so good, I'm really, really thinking of reading his (Joe Pitt) series, and I have no interest in vampire books..... -
UGHHH
By far the worst book I have ever read. Violent, boring and simply awful.

Violent Gruesome and Engrossing
I bought this because I was looking for a page turner and I was not disappointed. It is missing something at the end, but it is still engrossing. If you are quesy you might want to skip this one. Michael Crichton is still my favorite page turning Novelist, but this is a decent substitute until Crichton decides to write another.

What a find!
Thanks to Barnes and Noble for turning me on to Six Bad Things, an in-your-face thriller brimming with humor and intensity. The vivid action propels you through the pages at mach speed and the pauses, which barely allow you to catch your breath, reveal a very-likeable 'hero'. Charlie Huston's writing is just awesome...I wish there were more out there like him. There's no unnecessary prose to trip you up and get in the way. A story like this should be fed intravenously, unfiltered...and that's how Huston writes. I was disappointed when his latest book, Already Dead, wasn't a sequel to this book, and now I find myself anticipating the sequel to THAT story as much (if not more) as the follow-up to Six Bad Things! Don't get in any car accidents or plane crashes Charlie, I'm eagerly awaiting the follow-ups!

Great book
This definitely was a page turner. I bought it based on the B&N recommendation and was not sorry I did. Exciting, fast paced and well-written. If you like action with a little suspense, drugs and rock and roll built in, you'll like this book!

One good book!
Despite the violence, you can't but help find Henry 'Hank' Thompson likeable and even understand him. An extremely well written, fast-paced, action filled and many times, funny adventure. A great follow up to Caught Stealing. Can't wait for the 3rd installment.
