    About this audiobook

    Hap Collins and Leonard Pine are in for an action-packed adventure when they cross paths with a towering Pentecostal preacher, a midget with a giant attitude, and a gang of bikers turned soldiers of fortune.

    Even though a midlife crisis just crashed into Hap Collins like a runaway pickup, he's still got his job, he knows his best friend, Leonard Pine, will always be there for him, and, of course, he's got his main squeeze, Brett Sawyer. Things hit a new low, however, when Brett's daughter, Tillie, who's been walking on the wrong side of the law, suddenly stands in need of a rescue. It won't be easy - it never is - but nothing is going to stop Hap and Leonard as they hit the road destined for Hootie Hoot, Oklahoma, to shake things up. And with Hap and Leonard at the wheel, this promises to be a wild ride.

    "Hilarious. . . . Addictively scarfable. . . . Two thumbs-up, and pardon the barbecue smears." - Texas Monthly

    "[Joe Lansdale is] master at taking a simple everyday event and turning
    reality upside down." - Mystery Scene

      Coarse and raucous and as rumble tumble as anything I've ever read. It's also bloody funny.
    • 4/5
      Picks up right after “Bad Chili”. Hap and Leonard are off to help Brett’s daughter get out of the prostitution gig. But first they gotta deal with Haskel and the guns, an armadillo that won’t go away, and a crazy infestation of lovebugs! And the gang that will attempt all of this consists of, “An East Texas bouncer, a black queer, a ex-sweet potato queen, a six-foot-four overweight retired hit man and former reverend, and a redheaded midget with an attitude.” Colorful, ain’t it?Another fun read from Mr. Lansdale, and another action packed adventure with Mr. Collins and Mr. Pine! It's a shame I'm almost done catching up with these books. And I'm wondering, will Bob the domesticated armadillo be in the next volume? Can't wait to find out!
    • 4/5
      Hap and Leonard have turned into one of my favorite series. The dialog in this book is what really does it for me. It is laugh out loud funny.
    • 4/5
      Rumble Tumble is a fast paced story that makes the reader worry for the characters even though they know there are more books in the series. Lansdale perfectly craft characters that the reader can empathize with or completely revile. The story starts with Hap's girlfriend, Brett, receiving a call about her daughter who wants to quit prostitution. From there, the story takes the reader to Oklahoma to Mexico meeting new characters along the way. As always, the dialogue is excellent. The banter between Hap and Leonard show the characters' connection to each other. I highly recommend this book.
    • 5/5
      one of the best. the narrator is superb. a wonderful listen!
    • 4/5
      Another Hap and Leonard story by novelist extraordinaire Joe R. Lansdale, although by now the plot and action started to sound similar to the previous entries in the series. "Rumble Tumble" covers Hap and Leonard attempting to free the daughter of Hap's girlfriend from a prostitution ring but the highlight is the appearance of a midget who just gushes about his favorite restaurant. There are better Hap and Leonard books but this is still worth a read if you've enjoyed those better books.
    • 4/5
      Like every book in this series, Rumble Tumble is a mix between utterly crude laugh-out-loud humor, extreme violence, lessons about human relations, and moments when Lansdale just goes too far. But, then again, going too far is what makes Lansdale Lansdale. Recommended--no one should miss out on the adventures of Hap and Leonard.
