Smashwords book reviews by Steve Pribish
- '56
on Jan. 16, 2013
Went I began high school in 1957, I had the opportunity to meet two Hungarian boys who had escaped their country during the ‘56 revolt. While their stories, told in halting English, were fascinating, it wasn’t until I read this novel from an adult perspective that I fully understood what they must have gone through. Gabriella Horvath paints a vivid picture of life under the thumb of a totalitarian state and the hardships people are willing to endure to obtain freedom. It is definitely a story worth reading.
- Radium Halos
on Feb. 24, 2013
Whenever I see a book with all five stars reviews I get very suspicious. Usually it is the result of friends and relatives stacking the reviews. Radium Halos is the exception. It is a great story with believable characters, a mystery, corporate villains, and enough warmth to tug at he heart of a seventy year-old man. Shelly Stout has a way with words and her descriptions of the lives of young women in the days before so-called liberation, rings true. I highly recommend it.
- Prisoner 721
on April 22, 2013
Wow! This story is fantastic. Think HAL meets Johnny 5 with a dash of The Count of Monte Cristo. I got so caught up in it I didn't remember it was a short story and was ready to buy the ebook. I would have liked the story to go on. The ending was one that makes the reader think about the true meaning of intelligence. "Where are you, Santa Anna?"
