Review

Using music, mystery and murder, Kyriazi spins a fantasy not unfamiliar to any latent Doors fan. -- Music Connection, February 2006

About the Author

Paul Kyriazi dreamed of making movies since he first saw the making of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" on Disney TV. He graduated from San Francisco State University Film Department and went on to write and direct six feature action movies as well as many documentaries and travel shows. After years of success study and admiring James Bond, he wrote "How to Live the James Bond Lifestyle.” This is the first time Russ Tamblyn and George Chakiris have worked together since they both died in "the rumble" in "West Side Story.” With the actors from such classics as "The Time Machine", "I SPY", "The Guns of Navarone", and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Hard Rock Lovers is the biggest production in Audio-Book history.

5.0 out of 5 stars How'd Mr. Kyriazi get all these big names together?, February 22, 2006

I loved the James Bond Lifestyle book and audio tape that Paul Kyriazi had created and after seeing all the big names that were involved with this audio book, I had to get it.

The story was well-written, well-paced and kept my attention. Listening to the actors getting into their roles blew away just having someone read the book to me. I enjoyed Hard Rock Lovers much more than Stephen King's Cell audio book.

Hearing Robert Culp brought back fond memories of him in The Greatest American Hero. It's good to know he's still involved in some great projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars An all-star cast of my generation! I swooned over Rod Taylor and Robert Culp!, May 21, 2006

Wow! My sister pointed me to this audio book and I couldn't believe my ears. I just relaxed on my bed to listen and was absolutely delighted with the movie-quality of the sound effects. Not only is this a masterful, well-written plot, it's also a quality production. The best I've heard.

And those stars that the magnificent author/director Paul Kyriazi lined up for this special version of his book!!! Well, all I can say is that I remember swooning each time I saw any of them on the big screen. (I hope my hubby doesn't read this.) But when I saw Rod Taylor--who narrates this story, with such a come-hither voice--starring in The Birds with that gorgeous Tippi Hedren, I almost fainted. Yes, he was that much of a hunk ... and still is, according to my sister!

Incidentally, people used to say I looked like Tippi. Ah-hhh, memories ... But getting back to this audio book, I loved it to pieces.

Keep up the excellent work, Mr. K. You're terrific, and almost as handsome as the great Rod! Ciao, baby ...

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL cast, beautifully performed, an EXCITING thrilling journey you won't forget!, March 14, 2006

From the moment Hard Rock Lovers comes on ... it takes you by the hand and mind, and immediately draws you into this intriquing story, narrated by the imcomparable Rod Taylor, of revenge, love, lust, cold reality and spiritual enlightenment.

Robert Culp kept me laughing with his perfect low-life agent performance, always the best! James Darren was the perfect rock star, mean, talented but sad, his performance was # 1. Ishtar Uhvana was great as Medusa, she added the sweetness to keep some reality in the rock world and her ending dialoque brought tears to my eyes. Loved Russ Tamblyn, George Chakiris was brilliant as the evil Reynaldo, and Nefta Perry as Connie played the perfect Rosie Perez.

The ending gives you hope and leaves you with happy feelings. You will want to play it again and again; it only gets better each time you listen.

Paul Kyriazi is my hero. I am his BIGGEST fan.

Thank you Paul for the fun and exciting adventure!
