Guy joined the forensics club against his usual policy
of laziness and disinterest for two reasons: hot girls and death. He’s always been interested in the former and
the sudden passing of his father has him semi-obsessed (as much as Guy gets
obsessed with anything) with the latter. When he and his best friend, Anoop
find a REAL dead body at a FAKE forensic scene, they decide to solve the case.
The deeper they look the more Guy has to actually DO things; and the more he
finds out about his deceased dad, but they aren’t things he wants to find out.
I read this book weeks ago, but I’m just now getting
around to reviewing it. HA! Procrastination joke! Fortunately the jokes are way better in Guy Langman, Crime Scene Procrastinato. Guy
Langman, Crime Scene Procrastinator’s (Does it show that I like the
ridiculously long title?) humor is by far its main strength. The humor is brash, dumb, and juvenile, which
means its right up my alley! If you like
about 337 variations on ‘your momma’ jokes, then it’s likely up your alley as
well. And who doesn’t like ‘your momma’ jokes? Your momma? Like Beck’s previous
book The Dark Days of Hamburger Halpin, the overall mystery is less of a draw than the humor. The main
character is likeably dorky and lazy which made him very relatable to me. Some of the side characters weren’t all that
fleshed out or memorable, but never to the point of being distracting. This is
a fun, light (and I could use that after the dark, darker, and darkest books I’ve
reviewed lately), and consistently funny mystery. I recommend it to anyone that needs or just
highly desires a good laugh.
