I enjoyed DOWN ON PONCE, but I found the humour was more
Hiassen-like than Crumley-like. It was high on irony, but
most of the humour was more direct, leading to an 'anything
can happen' atmosphere, and taking away from any sense of
realism. I find Crumley, on the other hand, to be as funny
but more realistic, even though his characters go through
situations as absurd as Williard's.
Cheers,
