These stories are so excitingly different from any others I've read! Some of them are very nostalgic, some hilarious, some deadly serious, but all are intriguing and thought-provoking. It is hard to pick a favorite since each one is a gem. A couple of them include a mysterious recurring character I'd like to read more about. I hope Prine shares more of the products of his very unique imagination in future books -- I'll buy those too!

I could not put the book down. It elicited intense emotion, and each story was spell binding. I love the way Mr. Prine pulls you deep into each tale, you are drawn directly to the point. His style of writing transports you to that place, and he unflincingly brings intense emotions to the surface. Has 'Tales of the Id' given us just a tiny glimpse into the fantasy of reality? Maybe a touch of both, so that you can understand where he has been, what he managed to live/survive to tell about was/is...well, read the book, there is no doubt, you will know where it was.

James is a master story-teller, conjuring up some of the most creative stories my eyes have ever read. This book offers a little bit of everything. Truly an original work.

I love this man's writing style! Everything he writes gets your attention and you just can't put the book down. I read his first book, "Real Police", and have been looking for more offerings, imagine my delight to locate this new gem! I'd like to see more of Sargent Stone, he could be a movie hero.
