Going to run through some of Joe Lansdale's "Hap and Leonard" series. Never paid attention to it before because I associated him with sci-fi and splatterpunk, which I'm very picky about. I'd give the first book 7/10, felt a tiny bit dated, and a bit hokey, but just a bit. Second book is starting off better. They're nice, fast reads too.
(Side note, I feel a bit similar about the tv series too. Enjoyable watch, writing is a tiny bit clicheish in a bad sitcom way, but the second episode was better. Casting is great, I also like that they are fleshing out the bad guy better in the tv series too. I would've liked to have seen more of him in the book.)
