The author obviously knows his way around Arizona's backcountry, and around a campfire. The book is funny; I'd compare it to works by the British writer Tom Sharpe, who specializes in dark, wild humor. And, importantly, the characters are likeable. You want them to prevail in the end against one of the more insane (and amusing) gang of villains I've come across in a novel. I definitely recommend "High Desert Barbecue."
