Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Amazon carries this blurb about Russian Roulette: WHO WILL LIKE IT: Fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, Tony Dunbar's Tubby Dubonnet mysteries, the Chevy Chase Fletch movies, and Florida-zany authors like Carl Hiassen, Tim Dorsey, and Dave Barry--though not because this book is set in Florida--it's just zany! Sadly, it's not. Not zany. Not funny. Not even mildly humorous. It's just tedious. There was no tension, no sense of danger looming. Banter between the characters seems forced and often sounds juvenile Dev Haskell, the main character, acts like a pubescent boy - leering and almost drooling over every pretty woman he sees - instead of like an adult. And every time he answers his cell, he tells us he can't read the numbers. Faricy offers no clues or anything that provides even a vague sense of where this book is set until the fourth or fifth chapter. It's St. Paul, Minnesota for your information. Early in the book, Haskell takes a grazing gunshot wound to his head but afterward, there is no mention of stitches, a shaved portion of his head, or a bandage. So either Haskell is an immediate healer or the people he interacts with are terminally blind. Blunders like that can destroy an author's credibility. Consider your credibility destroyed, Mr. Faricy. And by the way, it's `beeline' not `B-line' and it's 'throes' not 'throws' of passion. Doesn't anyone use proofreaders anymore? Several paragraphs and chapters in this download were double-spaced while the rest of the book was single-spaced. The only good thing I can say about this book is that it was a free download. I rated this book 2 stars but that's only because I didn't really hate it. It honestly did nothing for me.
