A Strong argument AGAINST Vanity publishing, October 15, 2011
This review is from: The Return of SF (Paperback)
This is one of the most awful books I have ever read. The use of language and grammatical structure is at a seventh grade level - IF...
Phrases like,
"R... there is a big difference working for J... compared to H..." A... said...
The author uses He said, He said, He said until you want to scream!
The story line goes almost no where. At least to page 121 where I stopped and wonder who is going to give me back the hours lost in wasting my time with this clap-trap?
I am going to actually throw the book away. I never throw books away. Even when I do not like them, I always assume that someone out there may like it. But this piece of garbage I think should be burned.
Vanity publishing look out! There is a reason editors send rejection letters.

The Legacy of Tony Montana Lives On in The Return of SF!, October 8, 2005
This review is from: The Return of SF (Paperback)
Dejohn is a masterful storyteller who weaves an excellent tale of love, loyalty and violence in his first novel, The Return of SF. This novel is extremely well paced with lots of characterization, hard edged dialogue, sex and enough violence to satisfy most readers. In The Return of SF, Dejohn writes an excellent story arc to the Scarface character created by Oliver Stone, Sidney Lumet and Brian De Palma. Readers and fans of the film will most certainly recognize familiar names and characters in Dejohn's debut novel. As such, The Return of SF is a must read for fans of the film and also any reader who is interested in a well written story. Say 'hello' to this little gem!
