When fifteen-year-old Ramazac is thrown from a Malaysian oil derrick by his wildcat father with the admonition, "Bon voyage, bitch boy! Hope you float longer than your mom did," the only thing he could think about was missing his rig tail. On the other hand, when Troy, the Newport Beach High School quarterback, gets shipped off to religious camp as punishment for downloading music, he's convinced it's a death sentence designed to ruin his life. The result is Shim-Sham (407 pages, 129,742 words), a coming-of-age story celebrating two fantastically unique souls with only one thing in common: a Fijian princess.
In Shim-Sham, we experience the implausible misadventure of Ramazac and the torturous journey of Troy as only they could tell it. While the two boys don't actually know each other, they are about to get introduced and it will change their lives. But before they meet at summer's end, they're introduced to demolition experts for the KKK; preachers drinking sake, rigging lotteries and fleecing dances from strippers;, a redneck thug with a powerful addiction to Rocky Mountain oysters who sings Dixie in Spanish, crazed lawyers, crooked judges, puppy love, Navy SEALSs, kidnappings, fraternity scams, three continents, several states, and one hell of a history lesson.
Catherine D.This is a great book; easy read and keeps you flipping the pages to see what happens next. The references to the music world throughout are awesome. Highly recommended. One should take the time and enjoy a great American novel and escape the craziness of today's world. Well written and look forward to the next one.....from Cameron Sugar!
Fred K.It’s like the Hangover on steroids! Rollercoaster of a book. Very fun and hard to put down. Highly recommend!
Jennifer S.There’s no one way to describe this novel. It’s a refreshing writing style that’s honest and from the heart. The author isn’t trying to be someone he’s not... it’s a twisty, turning adventure that tugged at my funny bone and had me laughing out loud. I will definitely share this one and perhaps start a book club at some motorcycle dive bar just to keep the story going.
