From Publishers Weekly: After his compact car is hit by a large truck, Brit Moran believes that his final moments are imminent, and makes a lengthy deathbed confession to operating an illegal sports gambling racket in Dallas for five years. Fortunately, Moran’s injuries are not fatal; unfortunately, his compromising admissions have been heard by a motley assortment of bedside visitors, including a local police detective and the younger brother of Cesar Hernandez, Moran’s backer in his bookmaking business. The book follows, courtesy of Moran’s often hilarious first-person narration, the consequences of his ill-timed frankness, which include assault, vandalism, theft and murder. When the police identify Moran as the prime suspect in the killing, he embarks on an amateurish and offbeat quest for the truth. Readers who like to smile while reading a whodunit should hope that the author manages to enmesh his creation in further investigations.

5,0 su 5 stelle Fast, fun, and memorable
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 30 marzo 2011

I was referred to this book by a friend as I am a voracious reader, everything from historical biographies to a breadth of genres and mass-market paperback novelists. I am quite particular about what I like in a novel, and have gotten fed up with the formulaic pablum that well-known (and well-paid!) authors like James Patterson and John Grisham churn out. Finding a gem in the form of an original plot, interesting (if incredibly off-beat) characters, and, best of all--witty, understated dialogue--is an occasion to cherish.

All of the above I found in Joel Travis' first novel, "Blabbermouth". Having read as many poorly thought out novels as I have, I am a skeptic until proven otherwise; having said that, I was hooked after reading the first 4-5 teaser pages found on the Amazon website. It was the dialogue that drew me in, and I was not disappointed after buying the book and getting past those first few pages.

This is an wonderful read, good characters (most of them in serious need of professional help of one sort or another!), and outstanding dialogue, the latter reminiscent of one of my favorite authors, Elmore Leonard. Or an even better analogy--remember the characters and dialogue in Joseph Heller's "Catch-22"?

This is a very entertaining and enjoyable book. Reading inside the back cover, apparently it finished in the top 100 out of 5000 entered in a 2008 first novel contest...if this was only in the top 100, it makes me want to seek out many other finalists as they also must be great reads.

4,0 su 5 stelle Funny Book With Quirky Protagonist

I really enjoyed this book and hope there will be more featuring this crew in the future. I have been duped many times by cover blurbs that raved about a book being hilarious or laugh out loud funny when it turned out to be neither. I laughed multiple times while reading this one. The protagonist is maladroit throughout and his self-image far outstrips his real performance but you kind of like him anyway. The supporting characters are a bit thin but this is a one man show from the beginning. The central crime and how the main character actually falls into the solution at the last minute is interesting. I really liked it. It's a breezy, fun read.

My only complaint about this one is that I couldn't identify with the anti-hero narrator. Character and style tend to suck me into a novel more than anything else. And while the writing style here is fantastically smart without being self-conscious about it, Brit's personality was so over-the-top, I had trouble getting past it to the great story.

I quit reading after chapter 5. The main character is a clever, literate criminal type with a witty, dry retort for everything. Unfortunately, he comes off as a cocky smartass chauvinist. All the women were treated as twits and the main character romps through crime, bimbos and seedy scenarios with glee. The macho BS is celebrated, This type of humor might appeal to some but was tiresome to me. The clincher was when he beat up his ex wife when he mistakenly took her for an intruder. This was treated as an "ooops" moment, & that's when I quit reading, at about chapter 5.

5,0 su 5 stelle Brit is a bafoon (in a great way)
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 25 febbraio 2012

This novel is an entertaining read. Brit could not be more clueless and obtuse. HOWEVER, THAT is what makes the book work so well. Here we finally have a detective novel wherein the "dectective" does not have special ops training (or access to one who does), he does not have a team of anyone trained in anything that can assist him with anything useful (except a 30 year old car and a few coins). There are not convenient "miracles" to save the day. Ashton Kutcher could not "punk" anyone as well as Murphy does with his laws on Brit.

Brit is an ego maniac whose feelings of self worth/import lend so much humor one cannot help but laugh as if watching old "Honeymooners" and "Carol Burnett" and "I Love Lucy" with some stooges; stan & laurel tossed in. This is a refreshing debut novel from a writer who I look forward to reading again. I await his next installment (hopefully) of this "detective" series. But I will give anything else he writes a go as well.
