Playing to a deadly tune, October 9, 2007
This review is from: Devil's Orchestra (Paperback)
Review by Tavares S. Carney - "the Christian Page Turner"
Devil's Orchestra - what's in a name? The three main characters in this book - Tab, Deva and Juan definitely make up the devil's orchestra. These three characters definitely played to the tune of their conductor. In this case, the devil. This is a good read for individuals staggering the fence of committing their lives to Christ. Not for the holier than thou crowd due to explicit language and graphic scenes used by the author to vividly illustrate both the acts of sin and the consequences thereof.
The book tackles issues such as greed, media exploitation and "celebrity status" responsibility. The author does a good job in delivering a storyline relative to current societal issues. In a world where people are heavily influenced by media imagery, and while vivid, the examples the author uses communicates a very clear message - We are responsible for the decisions we make in life. We are responsible for our actions, for which there are either good or bad consequences when it's all said and done. The author does a great job of boldly asking - "Who's side are you on?"
Suggested themes: Never forget where you came from. The price of fame. Whose side are you on? God's or the devil's?

Choices, February 26, 2011
This review is from: Devil's Orchestra (Paperback)
Devil's Orchestra by Sydney Molare is a story of three strangers, who through an
orchestration of events, each lands in an unknown location, where their lives will be forever
changed.
Tab McGrifth is a radio personality that is at the height of
his career. With his outspoken and no-holds-barred opinions, people either love
him or hate him. Tab could care less; take him or leave him because he is one of
the top radio personalities on the East Coast.
Deva is one of the hottest young artists out. Her music is at that top of the
charts. Being in the public eye, teenagers tend to emulate her and look up to
her as a role model. But Deva never gives thought as to how her actions are
perceived by others.
Juan Rodriguez is one of biggest names within the book industry, the "Golden
Boy" of Ocean House books. His Latin good looks and controversial best-selling
novels are well received within the Gay community. Juan would have never thought
that the words penned on paper would have been so well received or that people
would look to his books as a bible of sorts for an alternative lifestyle.
Devil's Orchestra by Sydney Molare is a very imaginative, thought-provoking
novel. A novel of three people who had little to nothing and were willing to do
anything to get to the height of success. The question is what price will they
have to pay in the long run? Author Sydney Molare is an ingenious writer. I was
first introduced to this author by a short story in the anthology: The Shattered
Glass Effect a book I highly recommend to everyone of all walks of life. Ms.
Molare is truly talented author and I plan to read the rest of her novels in the
very near future.
This book was provided by the author for review purposes.

Depicted with vivid descriptions...a gripping story that readers won't forget!, July 10, 2006
This review is from: Devil's Orchestra (Paperback)
"A significant message of consequence is provided in Devil's Orchestra. It's a chilling reality check that will generate deep thought. This frightening novel is depicted with vivid descriptions that paint a realistic view of life on the dark side. Devil's Orchestra is an attention-grabbing tale of three individuals who hungered for money, power and prestige. So much so, that they inadvertently sold their souls to the devil."
"Tab McGrifth, a top radio personality and host of Living Life As Your Right; used his position to cast judgments against individuals that he deemed as being beneath him. A racist, who used his power in the community to further his agenda."
"Deva known as the hip-hop princess; has reached the pinnacle of success by stepping on a few people in her life to gain popularity. She turned her back on her family and didn't make time in her life to worship God. In addition, Deva's music, videos, and antics are delivering messages to young people that are questionable."
"Juan Rodriquez, a best-selling author who is gay and lives in a committed relationship with his partner Zeus and their son Loam. His novels reflect stories surrounding the homosexual lifestyle. He is also very vocal about his support for same sex marriages."
"All three characters are strangers to each other, however their paths will cross when they are all invited to meet an old friend. They agree to meet up with their friends at a bar. During this meeting each person relives their past and comes to a horrific realization."
"In the end they must face the music for their life choices. These characters must decide if they want everlasting life or choose to succumb to their lifestyles. This is a gripping story that readers won't forget, definitely a wake up call."
