    About this audiobook

    Jimmie John Hall wasn't anything until he was a killer, and Betty Dienhardt wasn't anything until she met Jimmie John Hall. When they get together, sparks fly and bullets follow. The first to go are Betty's parents, but Betty isn't bothered. She only wants to be with her man - the first person to ever make her feel special. They set off on a cross-country spree, killing for gas money and food, killing to swap their car for one the police aren't looking for. As the dragnet draws tighter they only grow closer, riding a road that leads to death because death has surrounded them all the time.

      Early Block, originally published under the name Paul Kavanagh.
    • 5/5
      Fantastic... great story to listen to. Made for an enjoyable drive
    • 3/5
      3.5 stars.

      An interesting and compelling story, but some unusual choices in the form of the narrative didn't work for me.
    • 1/5
      I wondered if there was any reason to read (listen) to this book beyond liking many of the other works by this author. In a word, "NO!". It was free from the library, so I thought I'd give it a try & hoped he'd put a spin on it like he did with Keller, his hit man.

      I was creeped out from the dedication. Seriously, Block dedicated this to his 3 daughters & 'their mother'. Next is a poem titled the same as the book & basically says they took him for granted, so he's not coming home to them - ever. Apparently he'd gotten divorced & there were hard feelings, but writing off your daughters like that?

      Two loser psychos are laid out in dispassionate, realistic detail & that's as far as I got. The book was exactly what the blurb said it was & there wasn't any redeeming trick to make it palatable. It's a shame, but some people just need to be put down quickly & quietly like mad dogs. I don't want to read about them.
