Book Reviews of The Callahan Touch
Book Review: Really fun, light SF
Summary: 5 Stars
I seem to have started in the middle of this series. First, I read Callahan's Legacy because it was the only one my library had. Then, I found this book in my local used bookstore. So, not only am I out of order, but I'm reading backwards.But I don't really think that matters. I'm still really enjoying this series from Spider Robinson--the stories of a bunch of really strange folks that hang around a bar, whether the proprietor is the titular Mike Callahan or the narrator Jake Stonebender.
The plot is negligible, when it exists. The main draw is all the varied characters and their wild personalities and how they interact with one another.
Beware, however, the puns come fast and furious. But, if, like me, you think playing with words is the highest form of humor, then pull up a stool because here is a place where "shared pain is lessened, shared joy is increased."
Summary of The Callahan Touch
All the regulars from Callahan's are at Mary's Place--Jake, Doc, and Fast Eddie--along with new faces like ""Lucky Duck,"" who has an astounding gift for defying the law, and a mysterious stranger with a deadly secret. Reprint.Comic Books
