review 1: Sometimes you find a book by a new author that you have not read before. So you decide to give it a whack. That is what I did with this find on the library shelf. When I checked the reviews it did pretty well. And I was not that impressed. That is why opinions are like a**holes, we all have one. The style of writing seemed choppy from the get go. And while the story was decent the author decided to add some twists. And then the author decided to add some more twists, and more and more and more. Soon it seemed he got exhausted by adding twists and the book flatlined for a bit. Not to worry though because he was soon back at it, adding some more twists and some more, and so on. Not quite my cup of tea so I am now moving on to my next reading adventure.
review 2: ... moreCalumet City, by Charlie Newton, is by far the best "first book" by any of the authors I've read, and I've read a ton of them. The book tells the story of Chicago police officer Patti Black, from her troubled past to her all to real present. Newton takes you on a pure adrenaline ride. If you like your thrillers safe and sunny, read a different book. If you want a book that will make you want to read parts of it with the doors locked, the lights on and a gun by your night stand, then read Calumet City. This book is NOT for the faint of heart as there are some very gruesome scenes. But the payoff for reading this book is well worth it. Highly recommended. less
