Elephant Milk - Diane Sherry Case

Synopsis:
Sean Hayes is driving a lime green dune buggy that a friend of hers traded from Elvis Presley for angel dust. A major motion picture is about to be released with Sean's accidentally naked breasts in it and she has just watched her best girlfriend shoot heroin, while Keith Richards nodded on the couch. Sean parks the dune buggy on Coldwater Canyon, walks down the hill, and lights a joint to calm down. There she finds a pile of black clothes, wet with blood. The Tate murders? It is 1969 and things are starting to get really icky.
Meanwhile, Sean's first boyfriend has taken off to Mexico and she has no idea exactly where he is. But a girl has to follow her heart. Sean leaves Beverly Hills determined to find her lover, even if it means joining a traveling circus and getting lost in a world of drum rolls and lions and Mayan glyphs. Even it means having knives thrown at her for a living, and facing a loaded machine gun in the hands of her rival. Somehow, she will find Frank, even if means going deep into the jungle, just in time to view a total eclipse, on the back of her favorite elephant.

My Opinion:
This turned out to be one of those situations where you should not judge a book by its cover.
There's so many things going on in this cover that you get a sense of confusion. Not at all what came across the page when reading the story of Sean.
This girl came to life immediately for me, and I couldn't help wondering where would her story would lead. I really became mesmerized by her strong nature, as wild as it was.
I was baffled and disappointed in the ending. It just became too much about something the story didn't need.
Still a good solid read.


3.5/5
