The Collectibles Trilogy

review 1: To me, the plot was from a different era. It could have been from the 1930s or 40s, when a man's ethics and good name were the most important things he had. I felt the writing was a bit stilted, but I read the story quickly, interested to know the outcome. There were some major surprises, not plot twists, but things that happen in life. At one point I was concerned it was a more religious book than I was interested in reading, but that was just another part of the main character's life. I completely recommend this book to men and women who will respect a main character with a fine moral compass. I look forward to reading James J. Kaufman's next book.
review 2: I would recommend reading all the one star reviews on Amazon.com to get a good idea of what this ... morebook is like. I generously gave it three stars because early on the writing is coherent, readable and with very few errors. (Mostly these consist of things like Cannon for a Canon camera).Unfortunately it is HUGELY sentimental and there is absolutely no(I add the adverb to show you that I use 'no' literally) dramatic conflict. One or two lawyers in the boardroom scene get a little warm and Buck the dog takes a perfectly extraneous 'bad' guy down who is giving the utterly unbelievable Johnny a hard time but everyone else is double sugar sweet.I just cannot believe that this book deserves any of the 160+ five star reviews. Even if you are of tender, loving, Christian, heart-warming, non-aggressive disposition who enjoyed reading about Joe's syrupy kindliness, even then, this does not rate top billing. That would place it alongside novels by literary giants; 'The Collectibles' is little more than a pygmy. less
