4.0 out of 5 stars Once you get into the author's style, you can't put it down, April 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Punk Blood (Paperback)

It took me a couple of pages to get into the rhythm and style of Mr. Marvin's writing, but once I did, it was difficult to put the book down. Very good read, I've found myself mentally returning to it time after time over the weeks since finished reading it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough To Get Through, But What A Ride., September 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Punk Blood (Paperback)

There is nothing going on in fiction these days. But this book makes for some very interesting reading *if* you can get with the style of the book, and *if* you can get past the graphic violence. I look forward to the next book by this one time Chicago radio talk show host.
