Blue
Flamingo is the name of a bar. The name was printed on the back of a matchbook.
At first glance, the place seemed to be nothing special. But...could it be a
possible connection to a mystery, a mystery concerning his mother?
This is the
aimless journey of a young slacker. What he expects to find, I do not know.
Our main
character, Dylan, certainly carried an airy, witty demeanor, and it was amusing
seeing him interact with various eclectic characters throughout. However, the
story progressed rather slowly, even for a novella. For a while, we simply
forget about the mystery and focus on a budding relationship in the midst of a
deserted, ratty community. And why did Rita's story (Rita is the bar owner) get
mixed in here? Was she Dylan's mother? Oh, that would be a hoot.
I liked the
way it started with the character's snarky comments, but it just sort've waned
from there. Overall, I thought the concept was okay, but the read wasn't as
enjoyable as I thought it would be.
My rating: 2.5 stars
