a crater is shown in the ground when splendid uproots the tree . but the crater is nowhere to be seen when he swings the tree at the snowball . then the crater reappears when splendid puts the tree back .

when the snowball rolls towards town , it heads straight down a snowy hill . when the scene returns , the snowball is on a road . similarly , the snowball is now headed in the opposite direction .

splendid ' s heat vision should have melted the snowball instead of slicing it .

everything in the tree house , excluding nutty and sniffles ' corpses , disappears after splendid returns the tree to where he found it .

if only splendid hadn ' t melted the snowball . . . ( part 2 )

the episode begins with cuddles and giggles having a friendly snowball fight on a calm wintry day . giggles throws a snowball at cuddles but misses . cuddles throws his snowball at giggles , which successfully hits her in the face . in retaliation , giggles prepares another snowball , but unbeknownst to her , she stuffs a pointed rock into it . giggle chucks the snowball and it hits a laughing cuddles dead center in the face .

container size selected should never be out of balance with your citrus tree’s size . newly purchased citrus trees with a vigorous root system will normally be in a 6 - 8” pot upon arrival . your initial potting should use a 12” container for a 1 gallon or 6” potted tree , and a 16” container for an 8” nursery potted tree . you most likely will never pot your indoor citrus tree in anything larger than a 20” container , but let it grow to need this much root space over time . too much potting soil around a very young tree’s roots will cause you moisture problems .

the production of juglone is a protective response by the plant to assure its survival . many plants ( e . g . , sugar maple , tree of heaven , hackberries , sycamore , cottonwood , black cherry , red oak , black locust , sassafras , fine fescue , and american elm ) produce allelochemicals to enhance their survival and reproduction by inhibiting nearby competition . the most common symptoms of juglone sensitivity in landscape and garden plants is the yellowing and wilting of leaves , especially during the hot dry periods during the growing season , ultimately resulting in wilting and death of the plant .

the snowball rolls onto the truck and is melted by the fire from the explosion . this , unfortunately , causes the town to flood . to get rid of the excess water , splendid drills a hole in the ground to allow the water to drain . the water level quickly drops , but citizens are sucked into the whirlpool of water that flows down the hole . luckily , the water stops flowing before giggles is sucked in . splendid flies down and again pats giggles on the head , who bids him farewell as he flies away .

the ground begins rumbling and giggles looks into the hole , only for lava to fly out and burn her head . she runs away as the lava begins flooding the town . giggles ends up running off a cliff , and forming a new snowball as she rolls down another slope . back at the laundromat , splendid collects his clothes , but is confused when he sees that all of his whites are now red . he looks in the dryer to see cub ' s blood , organs , and hat all over the interior of the dryer , making him queasy . acting nonchalantly , splendid flies out of the laundromat , once again annoying pop who is unaware of his sons death .

you want to cut a 4 ft . circle out of your lawn as the start of your planting hole . discard the grassy top layer and dig your hole half again wider than each citrus tree’s root ball . when planting citrus you will want to ‘plant it high’ , meaning you want the top of the finished planting surface to be crowned 1 inch higher than the lawn . this creates your surface run - off of water , and will be a great assistance to your tree in wet weather .

container grown plants with well developed root systems will most likely be a bit root bound . this is normal and easily corrected at repotting with some careful pruning of some larger roots . also loosen the rest of the outer roots for better root growth in the tree’s new container .

to check the soil is best before applying more water . the top surface of your potting medium should be very dry to the touch . also slowly add the water to your pot to avoid exposure of roots to the air . do empty the pot’s water tray , as with the drainage holes submerged beneath water level will stop the pot’s ability to drain well . cool temperatures slow down the need for water as well as your citrus tree’s growth .

sensitive plants located beneath the canopy of a walnut tree are most susceptible to contact with juglone through direct root contact or accumulation of the toxin from leaves and nut hulls in poorly aerated , wet soils with limited microbial activity and organic matter . juglone is poorly soluble in water and does not move very far in the soil . well - drained and aerated soils with a healthy population of microbes can accelerate the metabolic decomposition of juglone . where sensitive plants may survive outside of the canopy of a black walnut , highly sensitive plants may not tolerate small concentrations where decaying roots from a removed tree may still be releasing juglone . juglone toxicity may persist for years after a tree is removed . so , impatience in replanting an area with juglone - sensitive plants is not advised .

the rate of formation of new species is the primary input into the diversification of life over time . this process starts as two or more lineages split from an existing species at a node in the tree . to learn more about the timing of speciation , we assembled a separate data set of studies containing timetrees that included populations and species of eukaryotes (

unlike many types of nursery container grown plants , citrus trees will take a long time to root past the potting medium and into your ground soil . to help them spread their roots faster and improve initial new growth rates , remove the exterior of the potting soil just as you are ready to slip the tree in its installation hole . don’t take all of it off , that would be harmful – just the outer half inch or so to allow the roots to be surrounded with your ground soil . this is very simple to do by washing it off with the hose immediately before sinking your young citrus tree in its new real soil home .

the majority of pre - bagged potting soils have far too much sphagnum peat for good results with citrus . you cannot use garden soil in indoor containers . the easiest way to solve this is to buy a potting soil product that contains perlite or vermiculite and add 1 / 3 volume of redwood or cedar shavings , blending your two potting mediums well . do not use pine or spruce shavings . cedar shavings are readily available in the pet section of every big box store . partially fill your container with the citrus tree potting blend and you are ready to inspect the new tree’s root system .

place your citrus tree in the partially filled pot so the depth the plant was previously growing in the original container . your final soil level should be at least ¼” lower than the rim of your pot to allow for watering . finish filling the container and lightly firm up the potting soil surrounding the root ball . do not fertilize , just as outdoor growing of citrus , you want to wait for new growth to appear before beginning the fertilizer regimen . water your plant in thoroughly .

splendid proceeds to prepare to punch the other half of the snowball to oblivion , only to stop when he hears the washing machine his clothes are in buzz . abandoning his cause , he flies back to the laundromat , where cub has climbed into splendid ' s clothes basket for fun . splendid flies in , piles his clothes into the basket , and tosses everything from the basket into the dryer , not noticing cub . he puts some change in the dryer and flies off , annoying pop for flying so quickly .

) , it is evident that the split of two lineages in a tree is not the speciation event but rather the moment of isolation of two or more populations that will remain isolated until the point of no return . for example , if we assume a tts of 2 my , then two populations that only recently became species would have split ∼2 ma (

you won’t need to do a lot of amending with good soil , so don’t worry about adding compost and peat unless your soil is not good quality for drainage . with your tree set in the planting hole , fill around it half way to the top and thoroughly saturate the back fill soil . this helps it to settle around the roots of your new citrus tree’s ball . finish filling the hole and tamp your loose soil into place lightly . cover the roots with no more than 1 inch of ground soil to seal the potting soil from direct air contact . soilless medium used in production nurseries is design to air dry too rapidly for home growing , blocking the air with a layer of soil stops you from having rapid drying problems .

meanwhile , splendid is at a laundromat doing his laundry , as are pop and cub . back at the snowball fight , giggles checks on cuddles due to his idle movement , and discovers that the rock has jabbed his eye and caused it to bleed profusely . horrified , giggles calls for help . hearing giggles ' cries , splendid deposits his money into the washing machine and dashes off to investigate .

the lenses on sniffles ' glasses receive cracks when splendid pulls the treehouse out of the ground .

so , wednesday marks the beginning of the 2015 feast of the winter veil . one new achievement

to let your citrus tree be able to have deep root watering , build a water retention ring around the perimeter of your planting circle that is 5 – 6 inches tall and 6 – 8 inches thick . when completed , your watering ring should be slightly wider than the removed circle of lawn for your planting hole . don’t skimp , should you be short on soil left from the planting , buy some from your local garden center or borrow it from your garden . fill your new citrus tree’s watering basin with water , touching up any sinking spots in the planting hole that may settle after this first deep root watering .

shukshin ' s last film was the only one to garner widespread attention in the west , partially because it was first blocked by censorship then awarded a lenin prize . the central role of egor prokudin ( shukshin ) , a professional criminal , is so dark and anti - heroic that it seems even a socialist society cannot redeem the man : quite an ornery vision in a cinema marked by utopian plots . fresh out of prison , egor seeks a " holiday for the soul . " he is hungry for the excitement of the city , but he is not nourished by what it offers . egor ' s only recourse is to travel to a small village where lyuba ( lydia fedoseyeva ) awaits him . there , in the pure russian countryside , away from the corrupting force of the city , he will regain his morality and faith . the vast birch forests of the steppes , where he walks among the slender trees calling them his " brides , " offer him a poignant but temporary escape , for soon his cohorts in crime come to pay their respects . shukshin plays his anti - hero with the flinty bitterness of a man who cannot find volia , the old - fashioned russian word for freedom . it is not to be found in the drunken revelry of the criminal life , nor in the virtuous monotony of official kolkhoz work . but the film is by no means all gloom . there is a fortuitous store of humor uncovered as the tough city rogue mingles with simple peasants . richard peña observes : " one of the very few soviet films to deal with a ' social deviant ' - let alone to deal with one sympathetically - the red snowball tree carries shukshin ' s experimentation with loose , unstructured narration to its furthest extent .

the most unique thing about " kalina krasnaya " is that it is absolutely true to itself . everything about it whether it is costume , decor or pastoral setting is truly authentic . the people shown in this film are simple but they do not hesitate in showing their maliciousness towards a person who had a shady past . this proves the point that human society is cruel with wicked people . while watching egor ' s suffering one wonders whether there is any such thing as a reformed criminal as society does not give any second chance to criminals . in the 1980s and 1990s , russian cinema was largely known due to films made during ' glasnost ' and ' perestroika ' times , kalina krasnaya was much ahead of its times as it spoke about holidays and brothels which were alien concepts for russian cinema in 1970s . the red snowball tree / kalina krasnaya is an important film in the history of russian cinema . it was the last film made by vasily shukshin in 1974 both as an actor as well as director . for countless people in the world who are aware of the richness of russian culture and civilization , the name of vasily shukshin is easily recognized as one of russian cinema ' s greatest actors . kalina krasnaya impresses viewers with excellent acting performances . apart from his own role as an actor , vasily shukshin has managed to extract excellent performances from leading actors such as lidiya fedoseyeva - shukshina and georgi burkov .

, species 1–2 ) . yet , much deeper in a tree , where branches may be tens of millions of years long , the tts is a relatively small fraction of total branch time , which makes a splitting event more - or - less equivalent to the speciation event . furthermore , branch splitting leading to eventual species formation can happen simultaneously , in many lineages , as long as the resulting populations remain isolated until the point of no return (

in addition , we used the bammtools package ( rabosky 2014 ) in order to detect the diversification rate differences across lineages . the function “setbammpriors” was used to generate a prior block that matched the “scale” ( e . g . , depth of the tree ) of our data . both the speciation and the extinction rate were allowed to vary through time and across lineages , and 50 , 000 , 000 generations of mcmc simulation were performed . the sampling fraction ( 0 . 02635422 ) was specified by setting the “globalsamplingfraction” parameter . a burnin of 0 . 5 was applied and a diversification rate plot was obtained with the function “plotratethroughtime” ( supplementary fig . s3 , supplementary material online ) .

) , we estimated the time required for speciation to occur . for a given species , the time - to - speciation ( tts ) , after isolation , must fall between the crown and the stem age of the species (

) , merging with other isolates or disappearing and never becoming species that enter the tree of life . more population data are needed before it is possible to identify the point of no return with precision . nonetheless , these data suggest that , in most cases , described species separated by only tens of thousands of years are not real species . the linnaean rank of subspecies , which has declined in use for decades , might be appropriate for such diagnosable isolates that have not yet reached the point of no return . oversplitting of species by taxonomists may explain the sharp peak in diversification ( hyper - expansion ) in the last 10 my of eukaryote history (

all diversification analyses were performed in r ( urltoken ) with the ape package ( paradis et al . 2013 ) . the gamma statistic was employed to detect decrease in speciation rate over the history of the tree . to test if diversification is saturated or expanding , we used a coalescent method as well as the relationship between the ages of different clades and their sizes ( numbers of species ) . the number and location of shifts in diversification rates were also tested . we also estimated among - study uncertainty in both the lineages - through - time ( ltt ) curve and rate test by producing 500 replicates of the ttol , sampling actual study times at each node randomly . these replicates were then used in the analysis of rate shifts to estimate and test rate change . results of all diversification analyses were summarized ( supplementary tables s4–s10 , supplementary material online ) .

in addition to our species - level ttol data collection described above , we collected a separate data set on tts from published molecular timetrees that included timed nodes among populations and closely related species of three major groups : vertebrates , arthropods , and plants ( supplementary tables s11–s13 , supplementary material online ) . to test the robustness of our approach for estimating tts , we used simulations . a bd tree was simulated using the function “sim . bd . taxa” ( treesim in r ) .

a negative gamma value reveals a concentration of branching times near the root , meaning a decelerated diversification . incomplete lineage sampling can affect the result of this test because some tips will be pruned , thus lengthening the branch length in the more recent past ( nee et al . 1994 ) . an incomplete sampling could therefore lead to an erroneous detection of slowdown . to avoid this bias , the monte carlo constant rate test ( mccr test ) ( pybus and harvey 2000 ) was also performed on clades with a significant negative gamma value ( laser package ) . here , the critical value for rejecting a constant rate ( α = 0 . 05 ) was calculated by examining the distribution of gamma for simulated trees with the same incomplete lineage sampling proportion as the observed tree . we conducted 5 , 000 monte carlo simulations for each mccr test . if the mccr test finds that the detection of slowdown is erroneous , then there is no support for decline in speciation rate for this clade .

fruit crops tend to be in favor of full sunlight exposure . obviously , the more hours of sun each day , the heavier your flowering , and ultimately your citrus fruit harvest will be . most fruit crops grow best in full sunlight , but some will do well in partial shade . so during the cold months of the year your container grown citrus trees should be kept in a spot that they will get the most sunlight possible in your home . when all threat of frost is over , do move your citrus tree outdoors where it will get at least 8 hours of sun a day . however , you will want to allow it to adjust to this vast difference in lighting first .

obviously , most homeowners don’t have lots of choices as to where you will plant your citrus trees . except for some very southern regions , if you live north of zone 8 , you should be prepared to container grow your citrus . in zone 8 , it is best to plant citrus trees on the south or southeast side of your home . this provides added protection from northwestern cold fronts . planting your new citrus tree close to your home’s walls is also advisable as the heat the structure gives off will work to give it added warmth during such bouts of chillier than normal temperatures .

the gamma statistic ( pybus and harvey 2000 ) was employed on 59 clades ( all eukaryotes plus 58 clades listed in supplementary table s5 , supplementary material online ) to detect decrease in speciation rate over the history of the tree ( laser package ; rabosky and schliep 2013 ) . these 58 groups were chosen to have an overview of the diversification processes on a diversity of clades across life , in terms of size , sampling effort ( above 5 % ; median 66 % , with 84 % of the clades having more than 40 % coverage ) , and clade age . included in the 58 clades are 10 nonnested groups over the major linnaean groups , which allowed us to draw conclusions about high - level and low - level clades . we further selected 10 nonnested clades from within each of the four well - sampled groups of tetrapods ( amphibians , birds , mammals , and squamates ) . we also analyzed separately the eukaryote clade because all the other groups are nested within this one .

) . all lineages younger than the crown age of a species lead to populations that are still capable of interbreeding and , therefore , must be younger than the tts . on the other hand , the stem age is the time when a species joins its closest relative and , therefore , it must be older than the tts . a sampling omission of either a population or species could lower the crown age estimate or raise the stem age estimate , but the resulting interval would still contain the tts . although coalescence of alleles may lead to overestimates of time (

the large ttol afforded us the opportunity to examine patterns of lineage splitting across the diversity of eukaryotes ( we omit prokaryotes in our ttol analyses because they have an arbitrary species definition ) . under models of “expansion , ” diversity will continue to expand , either at an increasing diversification rate ( hyper - expansion ) , the same rate ( constant expansion ) , or decreasing rate ( hypo - expansion ) . saturation , on the other hand , refers to a drop in rate to zero as diversity reaches a plateau ( equilibrium ) , possibly because of density - dependent biotic factors such as species interactions ( morlon 2014 ) . most recent analyses , but not all ( venditti et al . 2010 ; jetz et al . 2012 ) , have suggested that hypo - expansion is the predominant pattern in the tree of life , although there has been considerable debate as to the importance of timescales , biotic or abiotic factors , and potential biases in the analyses ( sepkoski 1984 ; benton 2009 ; morlon et al . 2010 ; rabosky et al . 2012 ; cornell 2013 ; rabosky 2013 ) .

) , which , we determined , adds 40 % time ( median ) to crown age at any given node ( if stem age is used instead of crown age ) , in separate analyses of birds , mammals , and all eukaryotes . this is because the pull of the present creates longer internal branches deeper in a tree , as more lineages are pruned by extinction . therefore , the use of stem branches in diversification analyses adds noise ( variance ) and gives increased weight to that noise . we believe that the stronger signal of constant expansion in our results , compared with earlier studies that have supported hypo - expansion and saturation , is in part because we have identified and avoided some biases ( e . g . , sampling effort , clade size , and stem age ) that can impact diversification analyses .

beautiful open spaces and sharp colors make this feel like a melodrama , but the tone comes across as more sedate , more serious . still , there are small flashes of humor , small flashes of joy , small flashes of brightness as the slow , sedate story unfolds . the tale isn ' t complex but the setting seems to add a new layer to everything ; the soviet world this represents has so many facets different from the capitalist west ( for one thing , there ' s clear moments of blatant class consciousness ) . the almost casual build up to the climax of the film belies the depth of the character drama going on ; it doesn ' t quite come as a surprise , nor as poor pacing , but it still seems sudden . it is not surprising that this is one of fassbinder ' s favorites , either - - the composition , especially the blocking , is often sublime .

the death and life of bobby z is the book that started don winslow on his “drugs in laguna” series , which isn’t actually a series as much as an attitude and state of mind that led eventually to savages and its prequel . tim kearney is a three - time loser who gets fished out of a certain - death trip back to prison by a dea agent who gives him an offer he can’t refuse : impersonate legendary laguna beach dope dealer bobby z and let himself get traded to a mexican drug cartel in exchange for a kidnapped

i listened to the audio version of the death and the life of bobby z mainly just to get a feel for the author before i tackle the considerably heftier the power of the dog . this book was of course turned into the film of the same name staring the late paul walker , so it’s always interesting to compare the two . currently serving a life sentence without parole , decorated gulf war veteran tim kearney gets a poisoned chalice of an offer from the dea to impersonate the notorious and now dead drug smu

but tim gets something resembling a break when two dea agents offer him a deal . mexican drug lord don huertero wants to trade a captured agent for his business associate bobby zacharias . the problem with that is that bobby z has died of a heart attack in a thai jail . since huertero , like almost everyone else , has never actually seen bobby z , and since tim bears an uncanny resemblance to bobby ' s high school yearbook photo , tim has been selected to be bobby z until the switch can be arranged .

author don winslow wrote this book largely on a train during commutes and without an outline - - and it shows . " the death and life of bobby z " is a story that goes where it wants when it wants at a furious pace . the setup for the story is fairly simple . a big - time loser of a prison inmate kills another inmate in order to prevent the same thing from happening to him . as it happens , he resembles the notorious drug dealer bobby z . so the feds offer him a deal . they want to trade the dealer to a mexican drug kingpin in exchange for an agent , but bobby z happens to be dead . so if the loser will take the place of bobby z , they ' ll trade him and let him fend for himself . but the real bobby z , it turns out , has fathered a child , whom the imposter bobby z takes under his wing while fleeing from just about everybody and fleeing across mexico and california . one of the most compelling aspects of " the death and life of bobby z " is the style in which winslow writes . the novel is almost conversational , and winslow includes liberal doses of california surfer and mexican jargon . to his credit , winslow aptly pulls off what could have been an abysmal experiment . the style works with the plot to make this novel one of the fastest reads in a long time . on an unrelated note , there is a don winslow who writes what can politely be called " erotic " novels . these are two entirely different people . the winslow who wrote " the death and life of bobby z " is the author of the neal carey series ( " the trail to buddha ' s mirror , " " a cool breeze on the underground , " etc . ) . in addition , he wrote " a winter spy " under the name mcdonald lloyd .

the story of the legendary bobby z - - a marijuana kingpin so slick that not even his best customers have met him - - isn ' t really bobby z ' s story at all . it ' s the tale of the decidedly unlegendary tim kearney , a former marine whose entire life has been a series of mishaps and messups . his latest , the him - or - me murder of a hell ' s angel in a prison yard , is probably his last ; he ' s destined to spend the rest of his life in the joint , a life the angels have pledged to abbreviate .

i loved this wild ride of a tale ! this is an early don winslow - - so old that i had to track down a paperback copy online . totally worth it . loved the ending when everything wrapped up and made sense .

although the plot is essentially nonsensical ( why train kearney in how to look , act , talk , and know every intimate detail of bobby z if you ' re planning on killing him right away ? ) , the death and life of bobby z isn ' t the sort of film that ' s going to let a little thing like logic get in the way of an action - packed good time . as is typical for a john herzfeld ( 2 days in the valley , two of a kind ) thriller , the emphasis is more on colorful characterizations , plenty of violent confrontations , and a high degree of quirky energy , cohesive storyline be damned . your enjoyment of the film will primarily depend on what sort of entertainment you ' re looking for going in , as it delivers plenty for action junkies , and a decent amount of sex and violence , but somewhere along the line , don winslow ' s original book gets lost in place of the more sensational side of things .

when tim kearney draws a license plate across the throat of a hell’s angel , he’s pretty much a dead man . it’s his third crime and , according to california law , that gives him " life without the possibility of parole .

how tim kearney gets to be bobby z is that he sharpens a license plate to a razor ' s edge and draws it across the throat of a humongous hell ' s angel named stinkdog , making stinkdog instantly dead and a dea agent named tad cruzsa instantly happy .

bobby z . i think there always was a battle - of - the - bands story line — the triple threat tour was definitely the impetus . we had an epic food fight with the time that could’ve easily been in the movie ; it spurred the whole time - versus - revolution myth . it went from the show to the hotel and back to the bus to the airport and never stopped for about three days .

the delivery of the document and the ending of the hunger - strike ushered in a new atmosphere and bobby sands , the blanket men’s o / c , was given freedom to liase and meet with the hunger strikers in the prison hospital , and each of the blanket block o / cs , and it was with him that the jail governor met directly , thus conferring recognition of the republican command structure . this recognition was reinforced when on friday , december 19th , all of the h - block o / cs were brought out of their blocks for a further meeting with bobby sands in h - block 3 . bobby sands himself publicly expressed satisfaction at the new era of cooperation inside the jail , unprecedented since the british government embarked upon its policy of criminalisation in march 1976 .

blinn i think we had a better first draft — more mysterious and offbeat . the character of the father was a suicide , not an attempted suicide , and he was gone . the overall thrust of the picture was the kid being torn between the dark allure of death — what it does to a kid when a parent commits suicide — and music and sexuality .

gruzsa is right . not only does the murder rap make tim kearney a three - time loser , but killing a hell ' s angel also makes him a dead man on any prison yard in california , so " life without possibility of parole " really means " life without possibility of life " once tim gets back into the general prison population .

bobby z . my first reaction was , “wow , this is almost a country song . ” it had a different feel than anything we’d been rehearsing for the rest of the album . i realize now it was probably , in his mind , the centerpiece of the story . but that’s prince — his ability to thread the needle , so to speak .

for all of the criticism i ' ve thrown at paul walker for his limited acting ability , he seems to have come into his own in action movies . he does exude that california surfer look and is built well enough to look like he is a tough guy in a fight . the demanding choreography of bobby z caters well to walker ' s physical attributes , and considering the lifestyle of the dregs of humanity he is rubbing elbows with in the film , as well as the fact that he is supposed to be unsure of what ' s going on throughout , the limited nature of the role keeps the need for a great performance in check . fishburne is , arguably , the best actor of the bunch , but he isn ' t on screen most of the time , and his role is more of a throwaway in his career . if it wasn ' t for a paycheck , my guess his interest in the film primarily resides in his desire to be in every film he can with " bobby " in the title ( bobby and searching for bobby fischer are his others ) .

the author of the death and life of bobby z . and the power of the dog now gives us a fierce and funny new novelâ€”and a blistering new take on the mafia story . frank machianno is a late - middle - aged exâ€“surf bum who runs a bait shack on the san diego waterfront when heâ€™s not juggling any of his other three part - time jobs or trying to get a quick set in on his longboard . heâ€™s a stand - up businessman , a devoted father to his daughter , and a beloved fixture in the community . frankâ€™s also a hit man . specifically : a retired hit man . back in the day , when he was one of the most feared members of the west coast mafia , he was known as frankie machine . years ago frank consigned his mob ties to the past , which is where he wants them to stay . but a favor being called in now by the local boss is one frank canâ€™t refuse , and soon heâ€™s sucked back into the treacherous currents of his former life . someone from the past wants him dead . he has to figure out who , and why , and he has to do it fast . the problem is that the list of candidates is about the size of his local phone book and frankâ€™s rapidly running out of time . and then things go really bad .

bobby z . he was really good at style , and he knew that when you feel good in something , your character comes out . he could take people and find their strengths . i had a mustache and curly hair , and it’s pretty easy to turn that into a suave character . who doesn’t want to be suave ?

compared to winslow ' s epic and well - researched cartel epos , this is a fun and pulpy story along the lines of savages and kings of cool . the plot about an ex - marine now petty criminal getting instructed by the dea to play drug dealer legend bobby z is unbelievable and reads like a b - movie from the 70s or 80s . but the witty dialogue , the over - the - top characters and short chapters make this a fast and compelling read . if you like entertaining crime on the pulpy side , read this . it ' s definitely not o

this is a fast - paced , action packed , funny read . . . with even time for some touching moments . i can see why this was made into a movie , because it sure had that movie pace . the legend of bobby z was a wild ride .

that was awesome ! never read winslow and now he moves right to the top of my to read list . this story is about a " three time loser " , tim , who is pisked by the dea to act like the infamous drug king pin bobby z . he looks just like him and after some " training " the dea hope to use him for a trade to get one of their own back from another dug king pin . but along the way tim / bobby find a few surprises along the way . and with that , the bodies and the enemies start to grow . tim / bobby must draw deep to try and overcome his " three time loser " ways and mentality . it is funny , touching , goofy and so well written i wnated it to go on and on . i see there ' s a movie base on the sotry , but that looks and sounds like crap . so the book will do just fine .
