Lupa gives Cluck "Four out of Five Paws"

I sent a copy of Cluck to Lupa over at Pagan Book Reviews. I'm not really a pagan (but I'm not not a pagan, either), and Cluck is a tad off-topic for PBR, but I'd read several of Lupa's reviews and I found them thoughtful,insightful, and thorough. True enough, the Pagan Book Review of Cluck: Murder Most Fowl did not dissapoint. I recommend checking out the rest of PBR while you're there - good stuff, it is.

"Take one flock of zombiefied chickens, with an uber-rooster at the head. Throw in one inept wannabe farmer living in a haunted house. Top it off with an order (no pun intended) of secret zombie chicken hunters, with a particularly talented mortal off on a solo crusade to end the plague of undead fowl once and for all. Mix well with a good dose of off-the-wall humor, some camp, and enough talented description to give you a movie in your head, and you have the makings of one very fun read."

There's some great stuff in the middle, including some astute observations of what's not good in the book. I'm big enough* to recognize my own flaws, and appreciate the criticism. You can read all about them here. The end of the review finishes nicely with a recommendation to buy my book, which I always think is nice. Hint!

"Pick this one up if you have a long plane flight, need something to read on the morning commute, or simply want something entertaining to read over a weekend. It has good re-read potential, too, so you'll definitely get your money's worth."
