Volume 3 of The Misadventures of Doc and Dirk

Posted in Book Reviews on December 6, 2016

Dan ‘Doc’ Skinner is back with another — possibly final — collection of short stories about his curious relationship with his apprentice-cum-muse Dirk. As with previous volumes in the series, there are a couple of longer stories highlighting some aspect of Dirk the author has to understand, interspersed with a few snippets of conversations and other “Dirk-isms”.

As with the previous installment, this book starts with a repeat of the introduction from the first book, which takes up about a quarter of this volume. It still seems like unnecessary filler, but once you get past it, there are a couple of good stories to enjoy. This set of tales rounds out the picture of Dirk with some rather endearing revelations about some of his quirks.

This seems to be the last book of the series. A collected volume is now available from Amazon, titled Dirk Tales, The Book: The Misadventures of Doc and Dirk. It is available in paperback as well as electronic form.

“The Misadventures of Doc and Dirk, Volume III” is available from Amazon.
