Overview

The outrageous cinematic hit of 1977 is FINALLY back in book form (after 40 years!) and ready to be consumed again by movie lovers of all stars and stripes! Our favorite deep-fried Dixie is Letting Loose as only a Stinker can. With old pals Boner and Jimbo along for the crazy ride, plus mountain boy Buck and Rascal the chimp, the rowdy gang hits the highways and biways of Bicentennial America and meets scores of beautiful Southern gals, reams of trecherous villains, and even . . . the Big Man! Will Stinker truly Let Loose? Or will Big Government and the Smokeys bring him down? This novelization comes complete with more than 25 exciting black and white photo stills from the movie, as well as original ads that appeared in the 1977 book . . . and a new blurb from the great David Sedaris!

One of the Best Comedy Books of 2017! --Splitsider The movie made my eyes bleed, and the book made pus run out of them. The two things were made for each other. They're awful and awfuler. This novelization stinks. -- David Sedaris One of the most god-awful movies of the 1970s, now back in book form. Read at your own risk. -- Dana Brown, Vanity Fair magazine One of the biggest pieces of cinematic mediocrities I've ever been forced to sit through. Torture. Hitch a ride to anything but this. -- Jerry M. Renner, The Washington Star, July 12, 1977 Better than Star Wars. Just kidding. It sucks. -- Andy Rich, Cinema Comment I thought I dreamed this load of shit. I can't believe it really exists. God, this was a bad movie. -- Susan Landy, Film Critic and Historian I saw this movie in 1977 at a Raleigh, North Carolina matinee. I walked out more depressed than when I entered. This novelization is just as terrible, if not worse. A travesty beyond time and place. -- Rick M. Walsh, Raleigh City Paper
