5.0 out of 5 stars Above and beyond with Grave Digger and Coffin Ed!, July 4, 2000
This review is from: The Big Gold Dream (Thunder's Mouth PR) (Paperback)
From start to finish Chester takes you up, down and around Harlem with a rollicking hunger for action and mahem that no other writer can match. No one can beat Himes for his quick and pungent study of character and personality. He possesses a gift for weaving details into a break-neck romp of action and interaction that no other writer can touch. Starting with the exaulted voice of Sweet Prophet Brown on steamy 117th Street in Harlem searching for the truth and the money through an astonishing series of events that allows us a slice of history we will only find with this gifted writer. He'll make you laugh when you know you shouldn't and introduce you to people you'll never meet. Follow his lead. You won't forget or regret!

5.0 out of 5 stars A guilty pleasure, May 13, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Big Gold Dream (Thunder's Mouth PR) (Paperback)
How good is Himes? I keep reading his books despite all the recurring flaws such as anti-Semitism, weak endings, and one-dimensional female characters. The storytelling keeps me coming back for more.
