As a therapist, I owe Anna Salter a big thank-you.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shiny Water (Hardcover)
Anna Salter has been in the trenches, with all the psychotherapeutic babble and lunacy...yet she shows us that psychotherapy is an art form and that to survive the hard times we need humor and creativity. This is one of the best novels showing what a certain number of us do for a living and the frustrations that we face. She is realistic, funny, extremely educational (I actually learned clinical pointers) and very talented. Wow.

Reality 101,
By AZ SVP SW (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shiny Water (Paperback)
Having attended professional training by the author, I was curious about her books. Folks, the frightening thing is that she is describing the world and thought processes of sexual offenders. If you wonder "how could they do that"- this book is a fascinating and brilliant insight to their minds as well as the realities of "the system." To be honest, I didn't even notice any of the grammatical issues other reviewers found because I was too engrossed in the material! For me, it was validating to read of life through Dr.Michael Stones'eyes, and think,I've seen and thought that myself. I work with Willie and others like him on a daily basis, and I have a new appreciation of these residents, and why I continue to find them so fascinating. I can see myself going to visit Willie to be educated, and I have done this as well as had similar conversations with correctional types. I'm half way through the second book. and have the third waiting. Thank you Anna for going where few seem willing to go.

4.0 out of 5 stars
The horror of child abuse chillingly told in a strong novel.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shiny Water (Hardcover)
"Shiny Water" by Anna Salter is not an easy book to read. The violence and horrow of child abuse is not as strongly protrayed as in Andrew Vachss' novels but it's all here. And is it very disquieting. I find the evil and terror or child abuse much more frightening than the horror of Stephen King.
Anna Salter has given us a smart, lively character in Michael Stone. This is a tough lady who is easy to admire, retlate to and enjoy.
An extremely diffcult job making a good novel out of this unsettling subject but Anna Salter has done so.
I'm waiting for the next novel!
