John Swartzwelder : The Fifty Foot Detective before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Fifty Foot Detective:

10 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Burly is Back and at his BestBy Eric L. WozniakFrank Burly is The Fifty Foot Detective, so spoilers, I guess. John Swartzwelder is back with, quite possibly, his best book to date. Not that the Fifty Foot Detective is necessarily the funniest Burly outing, but it is the most well-written, coherent, and thematically interesting Burly adventure yet. In the Fifty Foot Detective, Swartzwelder is exploring common tropes of detective/sci-fi/horror literature and film. Burly is vied against an arch-nemesis, mad-scientists and their creations, his own troubles with not being his normal size, and a roaming city. How can Frank Burly beat the odds and come out on top? By taking notes from his favorite crime novel detective.Most of Swartzwelder's books read like he doesn't know where he's trying to take the narrative. The jokes drive the reader to finish his books. This time around, I found myself just as invested in the story as I was in the jokes. Swartzwelder still writes himself into a few corners that are hardly resolved, but the Fifty Foot Detective is, I imagine, the most thought out book of his since Double Wonderful.As always, this Swartzwelder book will make you laugh constantly and whoever is around will ask you why you're unable to read quietly like a normal person. Get back at them by making them read it too.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very funny Swartzwelder novel, playing up the pop culture references a bit more heavily than usual.By J MascisIn this novel, moronic detective Frank Burly encounters a bunch of scientists who lose their minds and create a bevy of monsters. Burly himself becomes, as the title might imply, fifty feet tall. This is one of Swartzwelder's strangest novels, and as with all of his books, comes highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fun and absurdBy NateEven when I wasn't laughing out loud... it kept me engaged with silly, absurd twists in almost every paragraph.I started with this title to see if I want to read others in the series and I'm definitely going to read a few more.

One of a series of comedy/science fiction novels featuring slow-witted detective Frank Burly. By John Swartzwelder, the writer of 59 episodes of The Simpsons.
