Shining City (the trailer)

Colleen cracked me up yesterday with this brilliant book trailer for Shining City by Seth Greenland.



From the Publishers Weekly review:
“Uproarious…Greenland's novel is entertaining and intelligent, and packed with enough hooks (and hookers) to keep readers sucked in to the last page.”

I preordered it. Reminded me of Carl Hiassen and Elmore Leonard's style, and I enjoy both authors.

This is the second time in about a year I've bought a book because of a video. I think, though, that it's a rare book trailer that succeeds, and the funny/outrageous type of book is best suited to this kind of marketing.
