5.0 out of 5 stars
"Destiny" is great!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Destiny (Paperback)
The book, "Destiny", by Chris Johnson, is a true page-turner. Allow yourself some uninterrupted time, because you won't want to put it down. The story is an entertaining thriller that takes place in Mississippi, along the Gulf Coast and in the Delta, with a few short jaunts to New Orleans.
The characters are well-developed, and bound together rather uniquely. The scenes are described in such detail that you can easily "picture the scene." The book is a great read, perfect for the holidays!

Destiny Succeeds,
By Simon LeBlanc "Simon LeBlanc" (New Orleans LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Destiny (Paperback)
The title "Destiny" does not really give the reader an indication of the rollercoater bayou thriller that awaits inside. Anyone who enjoys the writings of Carl Hiaasen will love this book. The only thing else I can really say is that the size and cover looks a little too much like a cookbook. Other than that it is an amazing first offering by it's author Chris Johnson.

Captivating,

This review is from: Destiny (Paperback)
Destiny takes place along the beautiful, seductive and sometimes tragic Mississippi Gulf Coast and New Orleans area that was deeply damaged; but not broken during Hurricane Katrina. It's a story of a man whose encounter with the Mob forces him to deal with past demons while fighting for his life. The author, Chris Johnson, paints a charming portrait of the Gulf Coast, its' history and traditions entwined in a tale of greed, lust, jealousy, friendship and love. I encourage all to enjoy this intriguing story.
