Jack Palms Crime

review 1: A writer's efforts shouldn't be destroyed, so I'll keep the negativity to a minimum. Book held promise for the first 150 pages, then fell flat. The action became repetitive and the storyline sluggish. I wasn't big on the dialog, to be honest, felt contrived, certainly not classic noir in my opinion. My thoughts place me in the minority opinion here, so the decision to take the plunge should be based on your tastes. I'll read another Harwood offering, but not another with Jack Palms.
review 2: The first in the series, action-packed from start to finish. The character Jack is a big action movie star (or rather he was), but now events embroil him in the real thing with everything you would expect in an action blockbuster--sex, shoot-outs, gangsters, drugs and drug... more dealing, and... three absolutely crazy Russians you will fall in love with. In fact, the story reads like a Hollywood blockbuster which is a perfect fit considering the subject of the novel. I was hooked with this first book and own all the sequels and prequels. less
