Teaser Tuesday: How to Rob an Armored Car by Iain Levison

Teaser Tuesday is an awesome weekly meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading
The Rules:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Today's teaser is from How to Rob an Armored Car by Iain Levison:
"You think the dog ate some antifreeze?'"he asked after a few seconds.
Drank, Kevin thought. You drink antifreeze. It's a liquid, you idiot. "Yeah." ~p. 179
A bit more than 2 sentences, I know...



Synopsis:
In a dying Pennsylvania coal town, three firends are looking for a way out. Mitch is a rebellious malcontent whose bad attitude gets him fired from a chain big box store. Doug can identify any pill by sight and any ‘80s rock song by the first three notes but doesn’t understand credit scores. Kevin got married and had a kid too soon and is now on parole after serving jail time for growing marijuana. The three of them dabble in petty crime and believe they have a talent for it. They start by stealing a high-definition TV, then set their sights on bigger scores. Soon things begin to get out of hand.

Sounds like me. I can't stand it when someone messes up like that!

My husband said " A flock of deer." The other night. I freaked out. A herd of deer you moron! A flock is a reference to birds!

He then proceed to say "The deer's HORNS were huge!". Horns?! They have antlers not horns! Demons have horns! Or bulls. Not deer! Geesh!

Anyhow, sounds like an interesting read.
