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
