If you just heard him from this book you would absolutely believe he was Ellis.
ON THE HIT LIST HOW TO
To be blunt, the man knows how to read dialogue. He is the premiere narrator in our land, and I have come to learn that anything he does is great. Now, I will tell you that I only got this book because Jeff Hays narrated it. Trust me, you will not regret getting this book. There was not enough of this, and I really want Ellis to get mixed up with the Yakuza or something else just so we can get MORE. This is a great book, and it simply flew by. Each character brings something to the table that allows the others to play off of, and man they bounce off each other like they were ping pong balls. I laughed out loud numerous times, and giggled like a teenage girl most of the rest of the time. The writing is refreshingly witty, wry, and the quips never stop flying. If there is anything to take away from this story it is to always go for the Princess Bride joke. On the other hand, Ellis can never seem to gain any traction because his pals are giant albatrosses hanging from his neck. And I don't mean Abe Vigoda & Florence Stanley! The trio, as dysfunctional as they can be, manage to work together in spite of whatever shortcomings they have. One thing happens after another until he and his college roommates all find themselves given a countdown to come up with some missing mob money or they will be sleeping with the fishes. The moment it starts the story steamrolls along, and Ellis' troubles pile up like snow cascading down a mountain in an avalanche. The main character, Ellis De'Angelo, or Ellis D, as his friends call him (as in LSD) provides a rapid fire stream of consciousness barrage of random thoughts and raucous asides as he details how his crappy job got worse from delivering a sub with "extra bread".
This is undoubtedly one of the funniest books I have ever read.
