Isle of Dogs Review

Isle of Dogs
Average Reviews:

It's hard to believe that the creator of Kay Scarpetta wrote this. The humor is lowbrow, the situations and characters are crass and unbelievable, the plot is weak. Cornwell's created a universe where everyone is on the decline, or never got high enough to have a decline. They are ugly, stupid and rotten except for the shrinking Hammer and the irritating Brazil. It's tough to read a book where literally every piece of action requires someone to be incredibly stupid. It's beyond farce, it's even beyond slapstick. It's just stupid. If this book were written by anyone other than Cornwell it would never have been published.

Chasing Smoke Review

The main reason I liked this book so much was because the main character and narrator, Skin Kadash, is one of the most intriguing characters I have come across recently in a novel. He is so flawed, so self depricating, so frustrating, that the reader has really has nowhere else to go but to like him. He is a character you love to hate, hate because he is so much of a pain in the you know what. Good story, good mystery, but most of all good characters. Enjoy.

Through Smoke: Book One in the Troubled Heroes Series Review

I read this author's first book, Modern Day Drifter, and said I would like to see her add some depth and complexity to her story. Well, she certainly added those items for this book. In Through Smoke, the characters were well-developed and the story was well-plotted. I wanted to keep reading to see what would happen with Mikey, Casey, and Eve. I cared about these characters and wanted to see their lives settle down and be good for them. Mikey and Casey are brothers and seemed very different from each other at first, but I don't think they were really that different. Casey was a true drug addict and gambler and Mikey struggles with alcohol. They had lost their father when they were very young and had a tough time dealing with his death, having never really grieved properly. Although their brotherly relationship has issues and Casey's gambling debts cause both brothers to become involved with a violent bookie, the love between the brothers is always evident. Eve is Mikey's love interest and also likeable. Their relationship develops and grows throughout the story, and they seem to be good for each other. This book held my interest until the end. It was filled with action and emotion, and I recommend it to others.
