review 1: I was disappointed in this book, although she was a woman who made her living doing adult entertaiment movies. I expected from the title and preview of the book that there would be a lot of reference to this sordid side of life but I felt that it was just to much and as a by the...

review 1: I won't pretend that I could look at any enry in this series objectivley with everything Mosley as a talent and Easy Rawlins as a character have meant to my personal ambiions as a writer. My take on books in the Rawlins series tend to fall on the "disappoined" or amazed side of t...

review 1: I really like short stories and I really love these Walter Mosley two for one specials. The first one I read "On The Head Of A Pin" was my favorite of the two stories. I liked the science fiction element of it. Some of it was a bit too grody, but on the whole it was okay. Both st...
