August 12,2001 News staff reports STUART - The notion of your life flashing before your eyes before finally fading into the great unknown is both cliched and comforting. Looking back on one's memorable moments would serve as a nice distraction before dealing with death - granted that the life in question featured moments worth revisiting.

In Tomorrow Never Comes, a new novel by Stuart resident James Salerno, Tom finds himself reflecting on his life with pals at a pub over a few pints and a game of pool. He looks at the wanton waste of his youth - spend on pot, pills and promiscuity - and recognizes regret, especially about a dark secret he's harbored so long it hovers over him like a storm cloud.

Now, however, Tom enjoys the quieter side of things, reveling in his relationship with his wife and children.

Then he exits the bar and enters the evening, unaware destiny will escort him on an unexpected date.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a true page-turner. I never read a book that captured the generation that I grew up in with such truth and frankness. I truly felt that I could relate to the main character, Tom. It was as if I knew him, and experienced some of the same things that Tom went through. James Salerno writes in an intriging style, one that makes this book a real pleasure to read. In fact I finished it in one night as I could not put it down. However, this book was made for a great reading weekend at the beach. Pick it up, you will enjoy it.

WOW!!! I couldn't put this book down! I can absolutely identify with the Character, Tom Crespo. This book describes the way I lived my life so closely, it's was eerie. All of the Late Baby Boomers should read it, it's something we all can relate to. This book should also serve as a lesson of the consequences of living a "loose" life for todays teens. A Great Read, I highly recommend it.

A+ definitely a work of art that should be on everyones top ten list. The description of the times and events that happened were more than lifelike upon reading it. I felt as if I was back in my more youthful days myself. To anyone that does not agree with me on the amount of intrigue I crossed while reading this book, negativity is usually jealousy in disguise. I reccomend this to anyone and all ages deffinetly a must read.

This is the perfect work of fiction for you if you enjoy a story that reads as though it were written by a high school student taking a class in creative writing. It is about as artless and ingenuous as they come. If ever Amazon would provide less than a 1 star rating, it should be specifically for this book.
