The Last Goodbye 46 reviews Reed Arvin
HarperCollins, 2004
The Human Condition
+ Five Stars + Gripping
The authors insights, deprecating, honest and realistic, are delivered casually, almost as if from a swing on the front porch. It is this delivery that distinguishes his prose fromt the usual run-of-the-mill writer. His specialty is desperation and hope - two emotions that seem inextricably ...

Battle Lines (Last Good War) 1 review James Reasoner
Forge Books, 2001
Alluring, and I'm a sucker...
I find myself taking breaks from professional and critical reading by indulging in more light fare. Once I weeded through the character development in the first half, I was hooked. Although I could find a few discrepancies, Mr. Reasoner's facts and knowledge of the era lay the groundwork for a ...

The Last Goodbye 3 reviews Malcolm Bell
St. Martin's Press, 1998
Tightrope Walker
+ Breathless pace compensates for credibility issues + A fast-paced, fun read for spy/thriller fans1
I found this book exceptionally well done, since "Malcolm Bell," a "former government employee," has successfully walked the tightrope between being true to the intelligence biz, on the one hand, and writing an exciting story, on the other. Nearly all popular espionage fiction is laughable to ...

The Last Good Chance: A Novel 16 reviews Tom Barbash
Picador, 2002
Like a great independent movie
+ A writers' writer, and a future classic! + I couldn't (and didn't want to) put it down!
Something about this book really got to me. I completely fell for the characters, their lives and the mistakes they make. Most of all--Harris, the "black sheep" brother, just slayed me! He goes from stealing a clean pair of socks in the gym, to finding these moments of unexpected grace. If ...

The Last Farewell 2 reviews Gloria Lane
Writers Club Press, 2000
A Contemporary Love Story
+ Outstanding Book
A very modern love story which only demonstrates that some things never change. Boy meets girl; boy leaves girl; boy remembers girl; boy returns to girl. A strong attraction that survives rejection is rare but the story makes it seem possible and plausible.
