Funny, touching and adventurous!
Very fun coming of age story where Wendell Wolf does everything he can to assist his girlfriend carry out her very unique mission. It is a story of love and friendship throughout a fun and exciting adventure. The author turns many a clever phrase as he tells the story. In addition he develops the many characters in the book in a way that keeps you hooked. What will happen next as these characters collide? Many stories within the story. I enjoyed the book immensely. Funny, touching and adventurous! I highly recommend it!

This is a funny book, a real pleasure to read.
Teenager Wendell's in love with Samantha, and to prove his love, he needs to arrange a traditional Native American funeral for her massive pig, who died in a collision with a golf cart. It's a rollicking adventure, with lots of surprises and lots of funny characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Quirky, surprising and fun
I stumbled on this book and was not expecting much but I was very pleasantly surprised. The quirky characters drew me in and the story is very original, with a lot of bizarre twists and is simply a lot of fun. Highly recommended, looking forward to reading the sequel, What Carlos Knew.

Delightful. It had me at the pig.
Fun read. Reminded me of Y.A. high spirited, singular voice, adventure books when aas a kid. Captures voice of teen well. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fun. And a wonderful picture of Southwest Florida
Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew version of Carl Hiaasen or Tom Dorsey. Funny, authentic.

Piece of Trash
Worst piece of trash I’ve read in a long time! I NEVER leave horrible reviews about books because I’m an avid reader and generally find some redeeming quality - NOT in this case. Not only is the story stupid, but the characters are ridiculous and the plot . . . The plot is ALL over the place. There’s so much going on in this book, you can’t decide what to focus on. It’s ridiculous. On a side not - although it is a fictional tale, the author pulled very personal historical information from a certain island family and totally bastardized it! He mixes truth with fiction in a manner that is absolutely, positively exploitive and horribly insulting. Don’t get me wrong - I have no actual skin in this game. No skin off my nose personally, but I knew within the first part of the book what he had done and was horrified! Not professional, not good writing, not a nice person! Please don’t spend your money on this trash! My son was given a copy of the book as an assignment for his local college humanities class. I’m embarrassed for the professor. Absolute junk!

A Youg Adult Book that is Great Reading for All Ages
Despite this book having been written for young adults, I cannot remember enjoying a book more. The ability of the author to get inside young Wendell's head, creates a narrative that is both touching and hilarious. I found myself being transported back decades to youthful escapades that, while not rising to burying a 350 lb frozen pig, stemmed from some of the same youthful urges. The characters are real for the locale the story takes place in and are believable even in an unbelievable story. I highly recommend this for entertainment and an interesting story. I hope that the author keeps after this. The book is going to my grand kids and I expect they will enjoy it as much as I did. Now, on to figure out "What Carlos Knew". I can hardly wait.
