    One Star
  

*by T***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 8, 2014*

I love pinup cowgirls, but this story didn't know where it wanted to go. True disappointment.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An old favorite's doomed grasp at new life
  

*by J***F on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 23, 2008*

In Linger Awhile, 83 year old novel writer Russell Hoban revives a favorite character from an old book, who is then killed almost offhandedly.  Also, in Linger Awhile, 83 year old TV writer Irv Goodman revives a favorite character from an old movie, who is then killed almost offhandedly.Readers who enjoy Hoban's major works will appreciate his trademark sly puns, learned references, and hallucinogenic allusions.  They will appreciate his eye for human relationships, and ponder the metaphorical meaning of the vampires who wreck the twilight lives of the circle of friends at the heart of the story.  Just as Vonnegut's readers never tired of even the lesser adventures of Mr. Rosewater, Hoban's will not want to miss Istvan Fallok's brush with undeath.  This is not, however, a good point of entry into Hoban's body of work.Readers interested in a genre work of vampire science fiction should look elswehere.  This is not that.  It is a short and humorous meditation on age and aspiration, friendship and betrayal, wrapped implausibly in the plot of "Weird Science."

    I lingered awhile, then I was gone
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 14, 2007*

Hoban's attempt at science fiction-fantasy-horror throws every claptrap device, including the kitchen sink, old horny men, vampires, a western movie starlet, videotape, an idiot detective, and a restaurant with food that appeases bloodsuckers into a very short book which, save for some clever character exchanges, is a mess. Make that a messy mess. The idea of taking the story from different characters' points of view is overused and underwhelming. I can accept a ridiculous plot that asks the reader to leave one's brain on the coffee table, but come on---this is so implausible, the conceit so incredible that not only is this tale hard to swallow, it's impossible to chew, let alone digest. Very short, very unremarkable, very not worth your time.
