Praise for Budding Prospects
“A first-rate picaresque adventure . . . a comic disaster on the classic and irresistible theme of the scalawag out-scalawagged.”
– The Los Angeles Times
“Energetically written and very funny . . . lusty in every sense of the word, healthy, invigorating, and strong.”
– The New York Times Book Review
“Boyle’s characters, for all their grotesqueries, are wonderful and believable, each scene is marvelously and sensually constructed.”
– The Dallas Morning News
“In an explosion of language, gaudy characters, and curious events, Boyle has provided his readers with a riotous Rabelaisian romp.”
– The Seattle Times
