About this audiobook
Patrick Wensink's Broken Piano for President earned him status as an internationally best-selling author - as well as a "World's Nicest Cease and Desist" from Jack Daniel's. Deshler Dean is only at his brilliant best when he's blackout drunk. Having invented a hamburger as addictive as crystal meth, scored a record contract for his alt-rock band, and become entangled in the biggest war since WWII, Deshler finds himself tackling the fast-food industry - and trying to save the world.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5"What would Gibby do?" He would read this book! Deshler Dean, lead singer of Lothario Speedwagon and sometime burger executive, drunkenly stumbles his way through incredible scenarios that he rarely remembers, all while trying to fulfill his dreams of rock stardom and figure out how to maintain his relationship with Malinta, if there is one. I liked the way Wensink starts by giving you Deshler's black out "memories" and then proceeds to fill in the gaps as the story moves along. Another aspect of this book that keeps you wanting more is that there are lots of characters whose intentions you are never quite sure about. Who are the good guys, who are the bad guys, is there a difference, does it matter? You should read "Broken Piano for President" and decide for yourself.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Pretty clever, for a what-the-fuck-did-I-just-read novel.
