5.0 out of 5 stars What a talented author!, March 6, 2003

By 

Doug Kessler (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Hydrangea People (Hardcover)

This is the best book I have read in many years - a wonderful story, well developed characters, tight dialogue. A young doctor who grew up in a small Southern town, raised by parents who were Holocaust survivors, is working successfully in a large city and finds himself surrounded by corruption. The author's style is reminiscent of John Grisham, Nelson Demille, and Leon Uris - three of my favorites. I enjoyed this book so much that I have given copies to friends, and everyone who has read it has raved. I impatiently await this talented author's next novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved Gershon's Book. Can't wait for the next one., January 29, 2003

This review is from: The Hydrangea People (Hardcover)

An amazing first effort. Gershon quickly draws the reader to his diverse characters. Before you know it, you're totally caught up in the intrigue and action. A story skillfully woven between past and present leads the reader to the realization that people and things are not always as first perceived. I really loved this book. The only disappointment was that it read so quickly and ended way too soon. Can't wait for the next one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Had a hard time putting this book down, March 12, 2003

This review is from: The Hydrangea People (Hardcover)

For a few nights, I stayed up way too late reading this book. It has a nimble, imaginative plot that grabbed my interest early and held it to the end. The story juxtaposes the present and the past in a way that might seem implausible. But Gershon makes it work extraordinarily well. Readers also get a fascinating look into modern medicine.
