Smashwords book reviews by Dave Gatto

    I really enjoyed this book. I think the author has a great new style and this book left me wanting to read anything she writes.She swings back & forth between the clipped fast-paced lingo of pure Chicago-ese and some really brilliant prose that will leave you stunned and breathless. I wasn't sure I wanted to read about something like FGM but she pulled me in with such skill that I was immediately sucked into the story and couldn't put it down and realize now how skillfully she handled the subject as well as the other subjects she raises like religious fanaticism, racial bigotry, mental illness. She writes with a lot of power and intelligence and humor. You will sometimes LOL! The characters are very real, the story has great twists and turns, and the ending is a slam dunk winner that she tied together perfectly. January Moon is really good book! (BTW I think she does dogs better than Koontz; sorry Dean but it's true. Hers are more believable.)
