Thoroughly Entertaining!!!: This is a great book with many similarities (intentional?) to Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. It is a story of how one man, who is down on his luck strikes out on his own to begin his own revolutionary new extermination business, but somehow gets caught up with a group of a different kind of exterminator. With so many twists and turns it would be hard to say much without ruining it for others, but if you like a fast-paced fun and easy to read book, then here it is!
Quick and Fantastic Read: Pest Control is a well written, fun adventure of Bob Dillon. Bob is an exterminator who is looking for work, after quitting his job to follow his dream of an all natural pest control. Bob applies to an ad in the paper for an exterminator and this is when the story shifts. The ad was for a professional killer - not a bug hunter. The characters of this story draw you in and create a world that you feel apart of. Even the #1 killer has a hold on you. This story is crazy, out-there, and just enough of reality to keep you believing. A must read!
Cracked me up: This is a very funny book, in my opinion the best of Fitzhugh's work that I have read so far. The Organ Grinders is also worth reading although I did not have quite as much fun with it as I did with Pest Control. Not great literature, but a lot of fun to read. The musical allusions are clever and enhance this enjoyable work.
Another patchwork caper. Tiresome.: Being ridiculous or crude is not the same as being funny. I didn't care if any of the characters lived or died. Life is too short for this when you can reread Elmore Leonard, Laurence Shames, or Lawrence Block.
A really great book: i thought this was the best book i have ever read.It is really funny.Any one who thinks it isnt dosent have even the slightest bit of a sense of humor.
