Title: Killer
Diller
Author: Clyde Edgerton
Genre: fiction/humor
Rating: 
After reading three
of his books, Edgerton is becoming one of my favorite authors. He has a real
sense of wit that I like and his stories and characters are real and funny. Killer
Diller is just more proof.
The juvenal delinquent
from Walking across Egypt has his
life in order now with help from Mattie, the grandmother he never had. Wesley
has become a good Christian, a good man. Together with other young adults, who
had "a rough time" he lives in the BOTA (Back On Track Again) house.
He is a guitar player in the "gospel band" and has fallen for a girl
living nearby in the house for young obese Christians.
Everything seems in
order until he is one of the people that is chosen to be a participant in
Project Promise, and he has to teach masonry to a special education student,
who, by the way, looks like a possum. Then things really start to get wrong, or
is it right?
Enough material for
a funny, honest story. And that is exactly what Edgerton gives us with all his
talents. Well done!
