Hap and Leonard is now a Sundance TV series starring James Purefoy and Michael Kenneth Williams.

Hap Collins and Leonard Pine are in for an action-packed adventure when they cross paths with a towering Pentecostal preacher, a midget with a giant attitude, and a gang of bikers turned soldiers of fortune.

Even though a midlife crisis just hit Hap Collins like a runaway pickup truck, he's still got his job, he knows his best friend, Leonard Pine, will always be there for him, and of course he's got his main squeeze, Brett Sawyer. Things hit a new low, however, when Brett's daughter, Tillie, who has been walking on the wrong side of the law suddenly stands in need of a rescue. It's won't be easy--it never is--but nothing is going to stop Hap and Leonard as they hit the road destined for Hootie Hoot, Oklahoma to shake things up. And with Hap and Leonard at the wheel this promises to be a wild ride.

Hap and Leonard are back and I love it!!!

Joe R. Lansdale is my favorite author, and I was very much looking forward to Rumble Tumble. I was not let down. Rumble Tumble ranks up there with Two Bear Mombo (my favorite Hap and Leonard adventure). The dialogue was as always top notch, Leonard's speech to Hap about replacing empty toilet paper rolls is worth the price of admission alone. All in all this was a great book and I would recomend it to anyone who loves a great adventure. My only recomendation is that Bad Chili must be read to understand the begining.

What can I say? I like Lansdale and this doesn't disappoint

If you've read any of Lansdale's Hap and Leonard books then you know what to expect, and you know that it can't be a bad thing. Lansdale is one of the few purely diversionary novelists who I still buy and read, and this book is a perfect example why. Its over in a day or two, and the ride is funny, suspenseful, and somehow humane. Nothing new here, and the earlier books ("Mucho Mojo" etc.) do it just a smidge better, but for what it is - a fistfight of a paperback with explosive action and absurd situations - it is exemplary. Drug-addicted prostitutes, a midget pimp, two tough guys and a renegade pilot... really, how could you go wrong with that mix? A good paperback with a slightly better pedigree than execution, but recommended nonetheless.

Humor, intrigue, social commentary

Master writer. I actually laugh out loud while reading Mr. Lansdale. The guy can cut a phrase. Having heroes who are black and white, straight and gay, friendship...our American culture idealized--the spirit of equality, compassion, trying to understand.I cringe at the graphic violence...I skip over it because I love this author's writing.

Lansdale does not disappoint.

Reading my way through the Hap and Leonard novels is a great experience Great dialogue, wild but plausible premises.
