Review: A Hoarse Half-human Cheer

A Hoarse Half-human Cheer
A Hoarse Half-human Cheer by X.J. Kennedy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Hoarse, Half-Human Cheer was a real hoot. You may find yourself speaking like this after emerging from the book, blinking in the modern light, expecting, perhaps, a sepia tinge to the air.

I got A Hoarse, Half-Human Cheer for free through NetGalley.

X.J. Kennedy’s got this great sense of the voice of the fifties, or at least the voice of the fifties as passed down to us through the generations, just soaked throughout the entire novel. And accompanying the voice is a fun little caper story involving the mob, basketball, wise-cracking secretaries, karate-kicking priests (reminded me of the Dead Alive scene with the priest shouting, “I kick ass for the Lord!”), army surplus, and a dame with a lot of moxie. There are clear villains and good guys, there is some good, old fashioned violence. There is a really, really funny scene where a renegade priest has gone off his rocker and blessed a warehouse full of Ritz crackers which, as their Catholic duty, the priests and nuns of the Catholic college at the heart of the story, the college staff have to eat in one evening, lest the body of Christ be profaned. “Surely you wouldn’t smear jelly on the Body of Our Lord?”

Well worth your time.

  1. Real men like to talk to sexy girls. There’s no denying that. Where does a man go to talk to a sexy girl? There’s just one place on the the internet to do that. The hottest girls can be found at http://www.camgirl.pw Have yourself a total blast and meet a few sexy girls. You’ll have a whole lot of fun doing so.

  2. I kind of agree with everything said here. There’s just one problem. It doesn’t talk about what’s the best site to join to get laid. That’s the most important part of it all. If you’re wanting to get laid, then this is the site for you https://t.irtyf.com/hkz06n8e68?offer_id=3785&aff_id=29696&nopop=1 You’re going to get some pussy there. Don’t beat off tonight.
