Rita Schiano

The Reed Edwards Company, 2007

An interesting book
Rita Schiano's Painting The Invisible Man tells the story of growing up in a family connected to the mafia. What is different about this story is the recollection as an adult the experiences of a childhood that was anything but normal. The book brings the main character to a depth of understanding about her father, showing a range of emotions that ultimately leads to forgiveness. This book is ...

Hellcats, Vixens, & Vicedolls: Women, Crime, and Kink of the Fifties

23 reviews
Various

Idea Men Productions, 2007

Sexy and Brutal
A fast (as in "easy") and furious (as in "will cut your head off with a band saw if she thinks you are cheating on her") collection of 50, 1950s hellcats running wild and taking a bite out of every thing in their path, only to be corralled and caged by a legion of clean-shaven boys in blue. These cases are the very best in vintage crime reporting.

Tunnels of Time: A Moose Jaw adventure
I read this book for the first time in spring of 2000, I was enthralled. I have probably read this book fifty or so times since then and I continue to be fascinated with it each time. The story brings a rather strong moral with its mystery and adventure. The young girl who finds herself lost in the past realises how important families really are. This book is filled with adventure and danger, ...

Eric Konigsberg

HarperCollins, 2005

the jewish godfather--a dark masterpiece
Konigsberg's book is a success on many levels--as a period piece, a crime drama, and most impressively, as a profound investigation into what it means to be related to someone, anyone. Konigsberg does not flinch as he looks into what his murderous great uncle means to his family, his religion, his aspirations, and himself. An elegant, courageous work of art.

Dione M Coumbe

Writers Club Press, 2001

Best read this year
Where has this author been all my life? A brilliant and intelligent book. human, serious, flippant, romantic, comic, written with a real knowledge of the events and places. In Dathan Charles, the author has created a larger than life character, who leaps from the pages with joi de vivre, deviousness, loyalty and an iron determination not to allow her business, family and friends be destroyed by ...

One of my Top 10!!!
Never have I fallen in love so quickly with a novel as I have with this one. I can safely say that it is in my Top 10. It is by far the wittiest book I have read. Corin has an uncanny ability to blend both reality and comedy into a fast paced thrill ride of a novel that never slows down. As a teacher, this is the kind of work I love to give to my students. Captivating and authentic - one that ...

He is a prophet without honor in his own country, a lonely voice crying out in the wilderness. Also, he has a strange fascination with the Harvey Keitel ...
