COMMANDO EX (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Commando Ex is a wild Australian hedonist racing across Africa on his Motoguzzi motorcycle, chasing thrills and adventure, living life to the max and flaunting what you can be if you’re absolutely free. “He’s the cream of the freedom crop….nerve tingling the moments and bojangling experiences.” This is nothing like any of Grobel’s other books. It’s wordplay on steroids. It's exotic, erotic, and funny, as it follows “the lives and times, the lays and plays, the huck and suck of an antsy chancy ice cream cone of a fella….a galactic whirlwind of a self-proclaimed Commando” who has “not a peep or a beep of quiet in his veins.” He’s someone who “flies around like Dali dangling from the ends of his mustache, not bothering with the rites of culture or the sounds of one hand clapping.” His gospel is “Only one life, one life, one life. A cry and a scream if it's lived at a loss, if it's misused and tossed, too planned, double-crossed” and believes that “with a little muscle and a lot of hustle you could become king of the hog pile, steal all the time it takes to live a full life and go out and buzz burn bull and bellow--the philosophy of the fellow.” After all, “What's to lose? An army to grab you? A desk job to nail you? A mechanic to jail you? Chuck it. Change your name, change the game, steal on a boat and float all the way to foreign places.” Which is what this singular comic book of a character does. It’s a wild, uniquely styled story of a never lonely, one–and-only, who bites and grabs everything that comes his way. “So keep up, speed along, trip flip and skip through the one life worth living, the fully explored, high geared unfeared not scared life of the Commando. Sight...on!”
