Mediocre??? Fine talk from you, Rap! Yer the kinda suicidal fool who woulda described Wild Bill Hickock or Machine Gun Kelly as "mediocre" to their face...a coupla seconds before they put a whole buncha new air holes in you with hot lead.

I been readin' "the Cascade". It's surprisin'ly good. I didn't think Amos had it in him to write somethin' this good, but I guess I was wrong. It's damn near as good as Raymond Chandler, and that ain't just whistlin' Dixie. Now, if there'd been a Chimp or two worked into the story...and a crocodile fight or two in the river...then it woulda been even better. Still, not shabby. I give it 8 outta 10 stars.
