Nonstop Action,
By A Customer
This review is from: Smokeout (Hardcover)
I have read Date's two previous books "Final Orbit" and "Speed Week" with each being better than the previous. After reading Smokeout, I can only wait for his next novel to arrive.Smokeout is a high paced book that picks up more and more momentum as the story continues. The nonstop action made it hard to find a point to put down the book. Date's development of his characters and situations is such that I felt like I was in the Florida capital at the scene of the crimes. I would not have believed that the story line in Smokeout was based on fact if I hadn't heard NPR's Fresh Air 11/9/00 interview with Date. If you have 15 minutes and the patience for NPR to launch the file, it really is worth listening to. I highly recommend Smokeout as a read for the New Year.

Florida Recounted,
By A Customer
This review is from: Smokeout (Hardcover)
Once again, S.V. Date, with brilliant wit and flawless style, captures the essence of those who make up Florida's political and social scene. As he did in "Final Orbit" and "Speed Week," here too he creates characters that are more like caricutures of those who impact Florida politics. This is all done with his usual stylistic brilliance and entertaining plot twists.

Like dental pain,
By Scott Freutel "Puccini" (Seattle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Smokeout (Hardcover)
This book is excruciatingly bad: forced, predictable, obvious, and riddled with cliches, most of them about Florida. Providing I had a relatively competent dentist to do the procedure, I'd rather have a couple of teeth drilled than read this book all the way through. And yes, I am over the age of 13; is the author?
