Summary: 5 Stars
Very entertaining and a very good use of time.Book Review: reaction to a reaction to a reaction
Summary: 4 Stars
explosions. random lyrics to a jimmy buffet song on a tropical dock while the sun sets across the carribean horizon. drug running. scrambling from one fuel-less plane to one that's been filled. escaping in the nick of time, feds on the tarmac raising fists and cursing 'cause the cowboys escaped again. YEEHAW!!!
a book of knowledge falls on your lap like newton's apple out of the tree. mystifying as the words may be, you realize they are only words. or don't you? Do you find the words compelling enough to chase down the author as a pre-described detiny contained in the text?
this review. a reaction to all these events. but these are only words. in the end it means nothing but pixelated 0's and 1's on your monitor. fitting coincidence these 0's and 1's appear on www.amazon.com, a site referenced a few times in Weisbecker's book. read the book or don't read it. in the end it means nothing.

Book Review: LaughingBandito
Summary: 4 Stars
Anyone who has read the intro to this edition will appreciate my first exposure to Cosmic Banditos. I whipped it out in the airport on my way to the Gulf. Yes, I can see the appeal to military folks. I can understand just wanting to forget where you are for a little while. Weisbecker offers a vacation to Never-Land with the help of witty humor, the transcendental quality of a primer on physics, and characters who have decided to follow there own rythms in a very believable central american world. I just bounded along all the way as it spun farther and farther out of control. Weisbecker wields narration format the way Harry Potter handles a new wand. The characters refused to be confined to the page; they lept out in pandemonium and started reading over my shoulder. Too much of this book may give you a hangover. Best to read it once or twice, and immediately pass it on to a friend.Book Review: WARNING: This book is warped!
Summary: 4 Stars
Warning: This book is warped, and your mind may be too after you've finished reading it. _Cosmic Banditos_ is an examination of the wonders of quantum physics, couched in a South Ameircan drug-runner's quest for enlightenment. The physics is accurate. I know. I have no personal knowledge about the bizarre lifestyles portrayed, nor do I want to. The combination, though, of physics and somewhat insane crooks is unforgetable. This is not a book for the culturally timid, but it is an absolute treasure for those sufficiently off the wall to read it.
