Book Description
The extraordinary stories that brought the author a cult following at the age of sixteen.
These are the stories of a young boy on the run, away from his past, hellbent towards an unknown future. Connected, they form a sometimes harrowing, sometimes bleakly funny, and often tender portrait of a complicated life. Like a modern-day Voltaire, LeRoy bounces his characters from adventure to adventure, each of them unyielding in the belief that the best of all possible worlds lies just around the next corner. Fresh, raw, and absolutely unforgettable, The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things has further established the acclaimed author of Sarah as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary fiction.

Sucks you in.......2007-10-06
I dont care if this book if made up or not. This book sucks you in untill the last page. I find many people on amazon who do alot of book reviews are way critical almost to the point where I wonder why do they even read lol None the less this book is very detailed, and brings you on this crazy journey inside this crazy sexual druged out world.
From my romantic "other half" Elena Romanescu's post-scandal email to the author.......2007-09-17
Subject: Hey you, if you can hear me from way up there in book-character heaven ;) Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 19:34:13 -0700
*P.S. I'd like to change the rating above, now that I've looked over this book and realize how intense and well-developed the characters are. The author may be a construct - but the emotions and psychological process of dealing with abuse such as that mentioned in the book are incredibly heartbreaking and real. Unfortunately I know people who have lived through scenarios similar to those in the book, including some who also created alternate personas during their healing processes. And the book represents the survival of the human spirit through transforming negative experiences into the potential for creativity.
Four and a half stars. And I'd give J.T. LeRoy that even if Martians wrote his book ;)
Hello JT,
I don't know if this email will reach you or not. Maybe you're busy up there in literary heaven, carrying on with lots of great luminaries like Harry Potter and Mr. Heathcliff and Oliver Twist and don't have time to read the words of mere mortal readers down here anymore.
Or maybe you don't want to talk to me since one of my best friends had some stern words for your creator in her literary blog? If that's the case then that's ok too, I just wanted to say hello.
Anyway, some of the things you wrote really resonated with me, and I thought you should know that. I'm part of a large family, a "family-by-choice" of various non-blood relatives and friends who have chosen to come together out of love and respect. And many of us have faced lots of obstacles - abuse, poverty, sex work, etc - and in order to take care of the most vulnerable among us I have had to resort to things I wouldn't ordinarily do, either. It's a matter of survival but I try to find beauty and humor in it, and I have a feeling you would understand that. I spent years hating myself and thinking I was trash, but in the end I realized I couldn't do that, I had to love myself, as Toni Morrison said in Beloved: "Look at your flesh. The world don't love that flesh, it makes you a slave. But you got to look at it, and you got to love it." Or something like that, not exact quote, but I remember reading that in one of the grandma's speeches. So that's what was awesome about you - you loved yourself no matter what people said and you made your life become something interesting and beautiful, and maybe other people like us could, too.
I remember reading Laura Esquivel's Like Water for Chocolate - and Tita and Sister Gertrudis' famous quotes: Decency? Decency? What is decency, to deny yourself everything that you are, everything you have wanted in life? And: The truth! The truth is - there is no truth here! Your truth could be that your love is one of the most beautiful, truest things in life. Well, my love for my family is one of the strongest truths of my life, even though sometimes I have had to do deceitful, low-down things to provide for them.
You remind me of the play The Music Man, which I saw with my mom years ago. There's this person who goes around in costume pretending to be a fancy music teacher, who gets all these people together under the promise that he'll work with them to make them into a real band that sounds great on stage. People eventually find out his true identity and the fact that he never went to music school and doesn't know how to play anything, much less conduct, that he's been feeding them a fiction for months. Everyone's furious for awhile, but soon they realize that they got their wish: they, together with the fake music teacher, were all so inspired and motivated by the idea of becoming a real band that they'd worked hard and practiced for months, and believed in themselves and started coming up with real, quality creative ideas. So the teacher realizes he doesn't need the sham he created, and builds a new, true identity together with the inspired townspeople, and after a lot of work they become a real band that does something kind of nifty in the town square one afternoon. The strength, the creativity, the love and the music and beauty were all there all along, waiting for them to come together and realize it. "Who's the Real Music Man?" they asked? Well, it was them, all of them, believing in themselves.
So maybe, hopefully, the street kids and struggling people you inspired who are upset with you now can go on to realize that about themselves, that they can write, can make their lives beautiful too.
You know, I've gone on too long already, but I think somehow you and your Mom and friends and my family and I will all find each other on the pages of that great endless novel in the sky and enjoy a game of Wiffleball with strawberry lemonade. If you see this, tell Heathcliff and Cathy and Anne of Green Gables I say hello, and let everyone know my characters will be joining you all soon, once I finish editing my family saga novel and hopefully find an agent and publisher :)
Love,
Elena Romanescu
P.S. I want a huge maraschino cherry on top my lemonade, pretty please? And an Irish coffee to finish it off, that would be nice :)
Deceit Written Honestly.......2007-04-01
Even though J.T. Leroy is a fictional creation, the stories in The Heart is Deceitful still read true. Some of the abuse in the book becomes ridiculous and Laura Albert's (the writer behind Leroy) Southern dialects are cartoonish. However, her characters are heartbreaking and fully realized. J.T.'s voice is convincingly young and inexperienced but never trite, and Sarah's sadism is just as poignant as J.T.'s masochism. Like the [...] archives described in Ann Cvetkovich's Archive of Feelings and the [...] poetry analyzed in Halberstam's [...] Time and Space, Albert carves out a groove through which trauma is channeled into a sexual catharsis. Furthermore, Albert captures the interiority of trauma that all survivors endure.
This novel lacks the poetic force and emotional depth of novels by authors such as Mary Gaitskill or David Leavitt. However, as a short story collection seeking to combine [...] and trauma into a fantasy of healing that helps others to heal, this short story collection definitely succeeds.
This book will change you.......2006-12-29
If you like to read for entertainment,this book is not for you.
While it IS entertaining,it can in no way be confused with those happily ever after books that leave you feeling good about yourself,the world,or
whatever.
It WILL leave you with a slightly bad taste in your psyche,and at some point in the reading,you WILL ask yourself if the world really is this bad.The author paints a portrait of a child who,step by step learns how to abuse himself from a mother and grandparents who elevate physical and mental creulty to an art form.
Mother becomes a dirty word in this book.
Paul Stone is right.......2006-08-19
Disturbing is about the only word that comes to mind. Like Paul, I found the dark essence of this story following me into dreams as well. I don't know why I wanted to read it, but I thought there would be SOMETHING redeeming about it. There was not. The language is foul, the child's life is unbelievably twisted and tainted for life, the mother - a victim of abuse herself - is a wonderfully real character you hope doesn't exist in real life but are most certain that does. All of the characters in fact, are living amongst us and I guess that's the saddest part of this story. To come away thinking someone somewhere actually LIVES this nightmare and doesn't just dream about it.
The story further reiterates the well-documented damage of sexual activity before an appropriate age. As well as the damage of dictatorship and religious zealots and losers that haunt stinky diners in places along the Interstate. Of poverty, poor choices, pornography. The list goes on.
With the controversy surrounding the book I was interested in the hoopla. It's written in the voice of a young boy - age 4 spanning to early teens. The author does a fine job of keeping us in his head.
At times it jumps around and I got lost, but I kept reading. In the same way the kid keeps going back for beatings -- a fool for punishment as the old saying goes.
My advice? read something uplifting. Life's too dark as it is. You don't need to read about it.

Book Description
Peach Kelley brings a little light into the lives of everyone she works with-or so she likes to think. And she's a whiz at helping her coworkers at Millennium Gift Baskets with their romantic problems. Even though her own love life is the pits, finding a boyfriend is the last thing on her mind-until she meets the new network administrator, Adam Quinlan.
Preoccupied with his own chaotic life, Quin thinks Peach is spunky, pretty...and a big nuisance. But when one of their coworkers mysteriously disappears, the two join forces to dig around for answers. For the first time ever, Peach may have gotten herself into a situation she can't get out of-falling in love.

Funny follow up to "Plum Girl".......2006-08-09
Ever the optimist, Peach Kelley tends to be the go-to gal for her pals at Millennium Gift Baskets in times of need. With her perky attitude and need to fix everyone else's problems, it is surprising that she has a non-existent social and romantic life. She fashions herself a modern day Dolly Levy - matchmaking to her friends. But when sad sack accountant Dennis never returns from a Peach-sanctioned blind date, she feels the need to investigate.
Dragging in sexy and reluctant IT guy Adam, Peach takes him out of his conservative comfort zone as she once again dons her amateur sleuthing cap. Adam is already up to his neck in responsibility, bouncing between his dueling parents, an absent long-time girlfriend, and now his quirky pal Peach who has him suddenly seeing her in a whole new light. As he taps into the company files to find out what might have happened to the missing Dennis, sparks between the pals ignite. And danger may be lurking around the corner.
Winters' highly anticipated follow up to "Plum Girl" is a bit of a let down. With a recycled plot and a leading man bearing a striking resemblance to Dom from "Plum," the story just fell short. But it is still a funny read from a very talented author.
Great book.......2005-10-19
I read Raspberry Crush and loved reading it so much I decided to read more by this author. I was not dissappointed. The author did a great job creating sexual tension between the characters so that, even though it was 2/3 through the book when they kissed, it was worth the wait. The light mystery is fun and although not realistic (as a murder mystery novel) provides interesting motivation for the characters in the book. I loved it! I can't wait to read more by this author. I highly recommend this book to people who enjoy contemporary romance novels by this and similar authors.
very romantic.......2005-08-04
I read this book after I read a bit about it in the paper and I enjoyed it. The characters and dialogue was funny and the romance was a feel-good love story.
a really enjoyable and memorable read.......2005-08-02
i was skeptical when i picked this one up because lately so many of the books on the tables with the bright funky covers have been letdowns, but Just Peachy was a bright surprise. the writing was a cut above the usual with a lot of incisive descriptions and witty observations on people and life. rather than being distracting (which sometimes happens with the mystery subplots) the suspense/mystery part of this story was very intriguing and intertwined well with the growing love story of two friends and co-workers at work. i'm giving it 4 stars rather than 5 only because i would've liked a bit more about Peach's roommate, BeBe, who ends up having a cute little romance of her own and i wanted to see more of how those two got together. as it was, it was a bit too abrupt for me. but other than that this was a really great read with two very charming and well-suited protagonists.
Terrific beach read.......2005-08-01
JUST PEACHY is chock full of romance, mystery, comedy, and originality. There were various offbeat characters in this book but I enjoyed them all, especially Peach's roommate BeBe and co-worker Nelson. And Peach and Adam of course who burn up the pages when they finally give in to their feelings for each other (it is well worth the wait!!) This is my first book by Jill Winter but I will be looking for more. I don't normally read "romance" and in fact didn't even know this was one until I was nearly done with it and enjoying it so much that I checked for similar books listed on Amazon and saw that those were all romances. But I can see it now becuase the love story is a very central part of this book. I loved it!!

Book Description
In ancient days, sorcerers sought to learn the One True Spell that would give them power over all the world and understanding of all magic. . . .
The One True Spell was a woman, and her name was Mystra -- and her kisses were wonderful.
Priest Havilon Tharnstar
Tales Told to a Blind Wizard
It is the time before Myth Drannor, when the Heartlands are home to barbarians, and wicked dragons rule the skies. In these ancient days, Elminster is but a shepherd boy, dreaming of adventure and heroics. When a dragon-riding magelord sweeps down upon him, though, the boy is thrust into a world of harsh realities, corrupt rulers, and evil sorcerers.
With patience and grit, Elminster sets about to change all that. The result of his labors is a world reborn and a mage made.

Trust your imagination over this drivel .......2007-08-03
I admit I turned to this older book in my bookcase after having just finished the sellswords series by R.A. Salvatore ( the true king of forgotten realms ), and found myself in need of a quick - and what I presumed to be - an enjoyable read. The first two chapters are interesting, but only serve to draw the reader into what quickly becomes a total morass of a story. Coupled by the total lack of character development, as well as providing any remote attempt at explaining how a young Elminster encounters his cohorts ( with exception to Helm ) - this book quickly became something that I almost looked forward to putting down before deciding to put away all together. One reviewer alluded to having to memorize the names of characters that are about 80% unimportant to the story, which is true, and almost as frustrating as Ed Greenwood's use of the word "sobbing", in describing a wounded mage or armsman; a word that appears so often it is back to back in consecutive pages in many instances just through the first 30 pages. I don't normally write disparaging reviews, but I felt compelled to do so regarding the circumstances involving this book. It is hard to believe that Ed Greenwood is the founder of forgotten realms - I've encountered many books from many genres and this is one of the worst books that I have ever read.
Greenwood's literary gift!.......2006-12-21
This book took a while for me to get into, but once it took off, it was worth the read. The setting is not the Realms that of the present. It is a time between Netheril-(my favorite) and anywhere I have ever read about. The main character is Elminster, star of many other contemporary FR novels. I always took him as a dirty old man. Now, his distant past is revealed giving some insight into his character. I guess when your first lover is a goddess, you may never stop longing for women!
This entry takes us on a wild romp with trademark humor, and few familiar sights along the way. This is a change of pace. I cannot say this was my favorite of his. "Spellfire" had the most action, "Cormyr" the most depth. This was the best written of all, might I say a future classic of the series! I am hooked...
I loved it..........2006-04-18
I loved this book. It was a very fun read. If you are into short books that go quickly, then this is the book for you. The only thing that I didn't like about this book is that the author dragged the initial part of the story out and rushed the ending like it was an after-thought. Overall it was a good book.
Could have been much better..........2006-03-04
This book, simply put, is boring. I would have thought that the creator of the entire Forgotten Realms universe could come up with great stories, it seems I was wrong. Overall, Greenwood's writing is dull, and rarely kept me interested in any aspect of the story.
Let's start with the characters. Firt off, you have Elminster, who, being the main character, you'd hope to be interesting or remarkable in some way. Sadly, he doesn't live up to any of these expectations, he is boring, the only remarkable aspect being his godly and unrealistic power, which he gains with little effort. Now that he's out of the way, you have every other minor character, which Greenwood fails to flesh out, as well. I must say, there's nothing more annoying than having to flip back 100 or so pages because the author expects you to remember a minor character, yet he/she wasn't interesting enough to care about in the first place. Unfortunately, this happens multiple times in the book.
The story, while hackneyed, is what gives this book 2 stars instead of 1. I believe that the story was boring, sadly, but had the potential to be better. We, as readers, could have done without the unbearable amount of clichés and points where it feels like chapters upon chapters of the book were torn out. On top of that, many scenes were dragged out, as if the author were frantically trying to think of what to wirter next, and letting whatever popped into his head flow from his fingers. I guess the main positive thing about the story was that it had some decent twists and turns, nothing, save for the overall fate of our main character, was all that predicatable.
I just don't know what to say... reading this book was not a fun experience, every chapter just seemed like another mountain to climb, yet there was no satisfaction when reaching the top. I just could not bring myself to like this book, and finishing it seemed like a chore, rather than a pleasure.
All in all, I would not recommend this book, and while it is not exactly *terrible*, it's just not worth your time to read.
A Humble Mage's Beginning.......2006-02-10
This is the start of Elminster, the greatest and oldest Mage alive in the Forgotten Realms universe. Interestingly this book was much better than others I have read by Ed Greenwood, and was not quite expecting to be able to enjoy this much.
I found that the way Greenwood decided Elminster would learn to be a mage is very different from the way I have seen it done many times over and I truly enjoyed `growing' with him. Through the different phases of his life until he decided to finally accept magic and worship Mystra ( The Goddess of Magic).
Elminster's parents have been destroyed by one of the MageLord's of the realm and Elminster swears death to all Magelords, and truly seeks this through the book, and truly waits patiently for the right time to take his vengence.
One thing about Ed Greenwood is that if your reading his books you can't have any distractions. If you do you will get lost very very quick. I did have to back up a few times to understand what was going on. I was confused many other times as new characters seems to be introduced for the first time in the last thirty pages of the book, but all in all it comes together and the story survives the confusion.
So if your curious about Elminster's background, this is the best place to find it ( as well as where to start ). Someone not too well read in the Forgotten Realms might get a little lost in it all ( since Greenwood created the Realms he is very detailed ), but much of that can be looked over to find the real story, which is very good.

A brilliant work of fantasy!.......2005-12-04
Not my usual favorite genre, but this work immediately grabbed my attention and drew me more into the story with each page. This is about the difficult journey and transformation of a young boy from the poor grandson of a blacksmith into a powerful Mage Questor. There are intricate substories within this plot, and it's written with great descriptions and well thought out imagination. This was one of those rare and wonderful marathon reads for me, and it left me eagerly waiting for the next in the series.
A good read!.......2005-11-29
I recommend this first book of the trilogy. Al has a great imagination and knows how to tell a good story. Try it, you'll like it.

Book Description
More than fish tales in this delightful book, readers will discover stories about the special relationships that develop through fishing-between parents and children, between friends and lovers, between fisherman, nature, and the elusive fish. Fishing is a common thread in many lives, and this book shows the strength and importance of those threads-whether your passion is fly-fishing, bass fishing, deepwater fishing, or just casting a line on a hot summer day. Chapters include: First Cast, Small Fries, The One That Got Away and Hooked For Love.

Chicken Soup for the Fishermans Soul Great Reading.......2007-03-15
Loved this book from beginning to end. Wish they'd come out with Volume 2.If you fish you'll relate to so much of this book. Highly reccomend. Thank you.
Great Buy.......2006-07-13
I received this book within 4 days and I live in the midwest. My father loves it. He is 81 and loves to fish. It arrived in excellent condition. THANKS Amazon
What a wonderful collection of stories!.......2004-07-07
I'm a woman who enjoys fishing and hadn't seen many books that covered my favorite topic from both sides of the gender line. I loved this book! Many of the stories could have been pulled from my own experiences they seemed so familiar. I highly recommend this book for a summer read. I love the fact that I can pick it up, read a story and put it down to do some chores, then pick it up again later without missing a beat. My favorite stories are the Bologna Wars by Tanith Tyler, and Tadpoles Triumph by Banjo Bandolas. I've passed the book on to my children now and they seem to enjoy it as much as I have.
Too sentimental for me.......2004-07-03
The Chicken Soup stories follow a formula, and are too sentimental for me. Some people like them though, and that's okay.
Great Stories.......2004-06-21
The stories were very well written with the exception of Jennie Martin. I just don't beleive her stories, though she passes them off as the truth. I also heard that the fish she catches are hand offs from guides. She fly fishes irregularily and posts that she doesn't catch many fish either on her own website. I think she should not have been included with the other illustrious fishing writers.
