If you have seen the ORIGINAL version of Mel Brooks’ movie “Blazing Saddles,” then you have a fair idea of what to expect from “Maximum Bob.” The time frames are different but the basic attitudes are the same. This book was published in 1992, over two decades ago as I write this review, and it was written by one of the masters of social satire and parody. Therefore, before you start this book, take your entire sense of political correctness and put it on the shelf. It might also be a good idea to stow all your righteous indignation regarding racial discrimination, sexual harassment and gender bias. If you are unable to do so or unable to read with historical perspective, I recommend that you never even open to the first page.Maximum Bob is circuit court judge Bob Gibbs. Judge Gibbs’ actual nickname is “Big,” as he has a big ego, a big mouth, a big reputation and an even bigger eye for the lovely young ladies. In actuality, Bob Gibbs is a small man physically, with a small mind and a small powerbase centered in his courtroom. However, that powerbase has generated the “maximum” in his public nickname as he often imposes the maximum sentence possible for even the smallest of offenses.But Bob Gibbs has more problems than those inspired by angry felons. Seven years ago, Bob met a sweet young thing that he saw in the mermaid act at Weekee Wachee Springs. He thought she was adorably cute with all those comments about auras and signs and positive energies. However, just before their marriage, an alligator slipped into the area where the mermaid act was in progress and Leanne panicked. Losing her air hose, she drowns. But before she can be pronounced dead, she has an out-of-body experience.
