This was a fun story about the last dragon living in the bayou. It is definitely an adult book, not one of Colfer's YA books. There is rude humor, lots of talk about balls (a little too much), and crass references. It is all in good fun and had me chuckling throughout the book. It reminded me of the works of A. Lee Martinez and Christopher Moore but not quite as polished. Still a fun ride with some great characters. What tickles someone's funny bone is different from one another so check this one out and see if it is up your alley.

It was hard for me to believe the author was not born and raised in and around the bayou, sho nuff.
Fun and fast moving story about a teenage boy, his mama, a dragon, a crooked cop and then some. There were some crude anatomical references, and crude "adult" humor bits. I guess that is part of setting stage / atmosphere.
