4.0 out of 5 stars An unexpected good read, January 1, 2010

This review is from: Avalon (Paperback)

I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was, it really does make you want to keep reading to the end. I've given copies of this book to several people including one who doesn't like the action/adventure genre and all have enjoyed it. I am a sailor in the locale it is set in so thought my opinion might be overly influenced by my personal interests. Sailboats, sailing and Catalina Island are essential elements to the story but not to the detriment of readers who neither know or care about either. It's subject and story line are timely and thought provoking, it's premise is entirely realistic and mirrors events currently headlining our nightly national news. The Kindle version is a good deal and after reading the sample I believe most readers will recognize the quality of the writing and want more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Avalon The Book Review, February 13, 2010

This review is from: Avalon (Kindle Edition)

I really enjoyed the book. It is a suspenseful story filled with the nitty-gritty of sailing drama and reflections on what makes America great, along with a touch of good natured humor. The plot begins with riveting intrigue that immediately grabs your interest, builds with a series of personal struggles intertwined with several surprises, and ends with a powerful climax. It leaves you with the realization that we Americans must always be on alert and be aware that evil people exist who want nothing less than taking our country from us.

5.0 out of 5 stars An epic American tale with an explosive ending, February 11, 2010

By 

Ricky Smalls "Ricky" (Hermosa Beach, Ca) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Avalon (Paperback)

I loved this book! It truly captures what it means to be an American regardless of original heritage. I especially enjoyed the charactor build-up that made the ending that much more satisfying. To anyone who holds the traditions and virtues of America with any level of esteem and is looking for sailing/island adventure(complete with riveting action) then this book will be enjoyed. To the "Blame America" first crowd, the book will be hard to swallow, but that is due to their ignorance of our founding history.
