Sex and Sunsets

Summary: A clever first novel
Review: A truly enjoyable book. I happened across this book one day, never having heard of Sandlin. I read it in one sitting and promptly went out and bought his other 4 novels - reading them in a week. Sandlin reads like a Wyoming version of Joseph Heller and Kurt Vonnegut if they were younger.

Despite what other reviews say, this book does not make light of, or condone stalking. It's an off beat love story. It's about honesty and following your heart. Definitely worth reading - Then read "Skipped Parts."

Summary: It's really good....really!!
Review: I have read all the reviews for this book and I must say it's one of my favorites. It's funny and sad and a little out there at times but a great read!! And a fast read. I read it in a matter of hours!! Ok...the story is a little cliche but it's fun and it will make you smile and laugh the whole way through!!

Summary: Wyoming's True Natural Treasure
Review: I wandered into a used book store in the San Fernanado Valley near Los Angeles. On a shelf behind the cash register was a well worn copy of Sex & Sunsets. I figured what the [heck], at least I liked the title. That day I became a Tim Sandlin fan.

Over the years I have read all that Tim has written and his humor and off-beat style have captivated me each time. There are a whole lot of writers out there that win Edgers and Pulitzers, they regurgitate formulated novels that obey all the rules and risk little. I will take an ex-diswasher who is willing to take a chance anytime. How can you not love a novel in which the main male character hears voices in the urinal and the main female character kicks a football over the church, in her wedding dress, waiting for the ceremony to begin. Sex and Sunsets and all of Tim's book are a real find.
