"Strand creates two endearing characters and infuses their relationship with an unexpected depth, humanity and tenderness, while managing to keep it grounded in reality with wicked humor." -- Examiner.com From the "wickedly funny" Jeff Strand (says Publishers Weekly) comes a comedy about love, death, hot dogs, TV, and obscure fruit. Thirty-five-year-old introvert Todd Bryan hasn't really done much with his life, and he's okay with that. Until, at a painfully bad film festival, he meets Amy Husk. She's attractive. She's funny. She's quirky. And...she has an inoperable brain aneurysm and not much time to live. She may not even make it to the long-awaited final episode of EXIT RED, the Greatest. Show. Ever. She convinces him that they should do something crazy and frivolous. And suddenly Todd, a guy who doesn't do spontaneity, is on an insane road trip from Florida to Rhode Island with a woman he barely knows, just to visit a really cool hot dog place. Many things will go wrong. But, hey, many things will go right, too. There's a hook-handed hitchhiker and some property destruction. Maybe some sex. A kumquat will probably be relevant at some point, although not during the sex (if there is any). A laugh-out-loud comedy, a touching love story, and a cross-country adventure, KUMQUAT is a story about making the most out of the time you've got. If that doesn't interest you, there's also a gummi bear tractor.

Wow! That story was far from the usual stuff that Jeff Strand writes (the 10 others that I read). No horror, no gore, no blood (ok, a little. But not in an horror story way). That road trip was perfect (the protagonists could disagree, but they don't write reviews, so...). A nice love story (usually, I hate love stories, but that untypical one was funny and excellent). I'm really happy that the author took another avenue in that one. I'd like to read more in that style. Strongly recommend it!

5,0 su 5 stelle An Awesome Read! Great Way to Kick Off the Summer!

Jeff Strand's Kumquat was, no IS an awesome read! The story follows Todd Bryan, an introverted 35-year-old who hasn’t done much with his life. He's single, is working an ok job and is living with a roommate, Craig, who struck gold after investing in a friend's start-up business and who now sits around playing video games all day--and Todd's totally ok with it. This all changes however when he meets a woman named Amy Husk while attending a film festival that’s showing crappy movies. Amy’s a sweet gal, she’s quirky, funny, and of course attractive…oh, and she’s dying of an inoperable brain aneurysm. In a spur of the moment manner Amy convinces Todd that the two of them should do something crazy and spontaneous. That something turns out to be taking a long road trip from Tampa, FL to Providence, RI…just to get a hotdog. I won’t go into further detail about the plot so if you want to know what happens, you’ll have to read the book, but I can guarantee that you won’t regret it. It’s a short read, but it’s also a great one. The characters are all well-developed, memorable and of course likeable…especially the two leads. The story is sweet, funny, touching, outrageous and even serious at times, but it’s all put together so well that it doesn’t feel disjointed or like it doesn’t know what type of story it wants to tell. The writing is also well done, I really liked Strand’s sense of humor, it provided several laugh-out-loud moments throughout the book. The moral of the story is simple: make the most of your time, because you never know when it may be up. I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end, it was totally worth the buy and was also a great way to kick-off my summer reading. If you’re the type who likes road-trip comedies, love stories, or both or if you’re just looking for a funny and touching read, I HIGHLY recommend reading this! 9/10 you’ll love it!

FINAL RATING: A WELL-DESERVED PERFECT FIVE STARS!

I’ve read quite a few Jeff Strand novels, so when I downloaded Kumquat I was expecting another great horror/comedy story.

Well, the horror was pretty much nonexistent but the comedy was spot on as expected with Jeff Strand. There’s another author I like very much who interjects comedy dialog in his books, but those lines get repetitious and several characters seem to have the same personalities. Whereas Jeff Strand’s humor is always fresh and witty.

On the down side, this wasn’t one of those great stories that I read in bed into the early hours because I can’t put it down, and then can’t wait until the next day to continue the story. This a key requirement for me to award a 5-star rating. So, based on that I’m seeing a solid four stars here.

And then this...

In chapter 23, two character names are mentioned; Rick and Brendan.

Doing a Kindle search, there is no mention of anyone named Brendan in this book until this very point where Amy says “Brendan is back on the bottle”. Who the hell is Brendan?

Likewise a search for “Rick” (from the line “Rick’s wife left him”) only finds “What kind of a name is Mick? Sounds like somebody didn't know how to spell Rick." Who the hell is Rick?

So, it’s kinda weird that two never before introduced characters are mentioned by name this late in the book and then never mentioned again. Why was this not discovered by Strand’s editor or proofreader or beta readers?

It’s not like there was a prequel to this book where Brendan and Rick are major characters, right? If I’m off base on this, let me know in a comment.

So, now not even a 4-star rating. More like 3.5 but I’ll round up to four. Still a nice, fun ride with 3-dimensional characters, and I would recommend this book, especially to other Jeff Strand fans.
