Customer Reviews:

A Must for Any Serious Writer.......2006-03-15

Serious, well-written, thoughtful and engaging. For any writer who seriously wants to pursue the craft of fiction, this is a must.

Intimacy with the Devil.......2005-12-06

Although this book wasn't necessarily riveting, envisioning the devil at the heart of fiction writing is most intriguing. Baxter and Turchi combine essays and anecdotes dealing with issues on, technique, devices, and strategies. These anecdotes allow the reader to engage in a sort of dialogue with other published writers who may experience similar problems with creating fiction.

In this book the Devil is interpreted as inhibition; what ever is keeping the writer from writing. But it is the intimacy with this Devil (bringing Him to His knees) that is necessary in order to progress as a fiction writer. This Devil teaches the writer more about him/herself than anything else, as long as he is acknowldged and entertained.

Book Description

American Knees is about relationships, sex, work, and family obligations. In other words, it's about life.

"American Knees (a takeoff on the old schoolyard song, 'Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees. . .') is the story of how Raymond Ding, a politically correct man with a politically incorrect sense of humor, falls into, and out of, love with newspaper photographer Aurora Crane. As Raymond and Aurora's story unfolds, Wong crafts some wonderfully telling and funny scenes of social relations in multicultural America."--Seattle Weekly

"Wong overturns the racial stereotypes perpetrated against Asians in this country, and he does so with humor to spare. . . . No one has more eloquently or joyfully asserted our belonging."--David Wong Louie, Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Shawn Wong adds a funny, sexy chapter to Asian American literature. . . . A multi-cultural comedy that relentlessly lampoons the incidents and incidentals of modern Asian American life."--Julie Shiroishi, San Francisco Bay Guardian

"With American Knees, Wong constructs a fast-paced world of botched romances, sexual and racial stereotypes, and unfulfilled longing."--A. Magazine

"I cracked up reading Shawn Wong's witty, tender, wise, and sexy new novel. His lovable but ambivalent protagonist collides memorably with a cast of female characters who are a welcome change from the shrinking violets and silent martyrs we've come to expect from `ethnic' literature. American Knees is contemporary to the bone - a highly entertaining, deftly written, provocative and moving work of fiction."--Jessica Hagedorn, author of Dogeaters

Customer Reviews:

One of the few honest API books out there!.......2007-05-03

We read this for my class on Asian American pop culture & fiction. THANK GOD for books like this and Kip Fulbeck's Paper Bullets. Most of the other stuff we read was "woe is me" or just not even realistic to today's younger API generation (I think Generation Y is a stupid name for us btw).

Shawn Wong tells it like it is, and if you have a problem with the scenes or language or it not being PC it means you don't have any experience in the real world! It is honest and straightforward and the part about being one of the only two Asians in the room is so dead on! A good read!

Insightful, not politically correct.......2006-03-03

This novel presents a point of view that is new to me, the viewpoint of an Asian American male dealing with the culture of growing older in an increasingly complex society within a society. Raymond is Chinese American, but has never been to China, divorced from a Chinese woman who took him for everything he had and not sure where to go with the rest of his life. The first line of the book is intriguing and I fear many reviewers missed its import. Is it possible through a divorce to lose not just material possessions but your ethnic identity as well? The rest of the book is Raymond's exploration of this question. Professionally involved in ethnic politics, the topic dogs him in all his relationships with women, including his half-Japanese, half-Irish girl friend Aurora, his Vietnamese immigrant girl friend Betty and Aurora's friend Brenda, who is all-Japanese and all suspicious of Raymond. As the novel progresses, it becomes more evident that the real Raymond is defined by his relationship with his widower father Wood (short for Woodrow, like his brothers named for a US President). For me, the seminal moment in the book was Raymond's discovery that his father's personality was as much derived from his engineering background as his Chinese ancestry, a discovery that liberated him from whatever ghosts had haunted him from his failed marriage to Darlene and his mother's early death, and which allowed him to become the person Aurora could love and trust. The book is well-written but it requires the reader to fill in some blanks and do more work than the typical novel. It is not for everyone, but it is a book that actually teaches while it entertains.

racial & cultural sensitivity?.......2005-06-10

Aside from the author's mocking, offensive stereotype of the Hawaiian hula dance (see p.163), I thought this book was a dandy!

Does he teach writing courses?.......2003-03-26

Well, he should, that's for sure. The writing holds me spellbound, and the dialogue is superb. I read it over and over.

not for everyone.......2002-05-26

This book was funny, and truly thought provoking. It's definitely not politically correct, asking questions about the differences between dating someone that's white or asian, or asian/american. (Sometimes I cringe at the comments but feel privy to such frank discussions.) The descriptions are sharp, witty, fast and funny! Asian "eurotrash... West Hollywood is about as far east as this guy goes"

It's good description of an asian in american trying to find his identity and balance of cultures as he stumbles for love. (Should his partner be a reflection of self?)

It deals with personal doubts. Do other people really stare and doubt the interracial couple or the 'foreigner', or are 'we' just paranoid? There are some hidden comments that lead you to realize that identity crisis isn't just over race. Guys "wear their obligation on the outside... it says they have to run and bring the paycheck home"

It's quite an erotic book too!

Book Description

Who're your people, girl?' It's the song of the South, the big question, persistent and unforgiving. Helene Strickland, daughter of Lafayette County, Arkansas, and lately of the Northeast, doesn't have an answer. Instead, she has memories riddled with half-truths, stories heard in fits and starts, a family history from a family that doesn't know its own past. In the steamy August of 1976, Helene returns home for her aunt's funeral determined to learn the truth, but her probing yields more questions than answers: Why did her grandmother, Liberty, a cotton picker turned saloon owner, have no name until she was fourteen? Why does Queen Ester, Helene's mother, dress like a child, talk to no one, and refuse to see her own daughter? And who was Chess, a man with a terror of water, a man like a honey trap who drew the women and then destroyed them? In a mesmerizing narrative, April Reynolds seamlessly weaves past and present, intricate flashbacks and interlaced stories to produce an epic novel of one family maimed by the deepest wounds of history. Rich with legend, poetry, and historic events, Revelations captures the complex humanity of black Southern life.

Customer Reviews:

Slow read, but interesting characters.......2005-05-20

Like other reviewers I got a little lost in the beginning, but once I figured out the characters there wasn't a whole lot else there. It is definitely an interesting book and very well written. I just didn't see any kind of climax and very few questions were answered in the end. I did not feel satisfied at the end of the book which may be what the author was going for.

Disappointing denouement.......2004-09-14

April Reynolds is an excellent writer. She can spin a wonderful tale and create rich and engaging characters that suck you into this story of three generations of Southern women. What I found lacking and a bit disappointing was the plot. It was a bit thin and a quarter of the way in (once I got all the characters straight) I pretty much had the plot figured out. The denouement was very anti-climatic and I found she failed to fully explain WHY? Why did Liberty put Chess before Queen Ester? Why didn't we learn more about Helene and Auntie b? Why did Queen Ester go crazy? What did Chess say to Helene? Maybe I fell asleep halfway through. Reynolds hints at all of these things and more but I felt the story could have been deeper and richer if she expounded on these questions or made the characters more dimensional. An entertaining read but overall disappointing. Reynolds is a promising writer and possibly her next novel will be richer. I look forwards to that.

Cheers! To a Fine Southern Debut.......2004-04-08

Ms. Reynolds shapes Knee-Deep in Wonder around three generations and one man. As the youngest generation--and one might even call her a Northerner, "You hear that? I did it again. I sound like Mama. I sound southern,"--Helene's curiosity about her familial roots blossoms like fire. She is desperate to know who her father is as well as to assuage the burden of why her mother gave her away as a young child. Helene's wonder and quest begins when she returns to the South for her Auntie's funeral. It is this homecoming that begins the opening of the Strickland family secrets. A bulk of the story is told between Liberty and Queen Ester, while other parts of the story we see through Queen Ester and Helene. At the center of these generations is a man: Chess. His movement through the novel touches literally everyone and we find he too has his own family skeletons to walk with. Ms. Reynolds does a magnificent job in capturing Southern vernacular and setting. I'm not sold that the mesh in the final chapters is so much as Morrisonian than it is Ms. Reynolds struggling to do what all new authors must do: end. And while some passages do tend to dawdle, perhaps striving for heft, I find the language, the dialogue and the characters highly faithful to the story line. At times, some expressions and scenes are humorous: the fight at Chess's funeral; the moment Liberty reaches over a table and slaps her daughter who then simply tips her chair, falls to floor, enjoys the cool of it, then continues to chew on an apple. Surely this must have phased Queen Ester---I don't know; it just made me laugh. Ms. Reynolds has done a fine job in this debut. I look forward to more titles!

Also try, Eden by Olympia Vernon--another up and coming new artist.

Knee Deep in Secrets, Lies and Family Drama.......2004-03-30

This is a southern tale full of drama, family strife and secrets set in Arkansas from the early century to the 1980s. Liberty, Queen Ester, Chess and Helene are the key players in a quagmire of events. Reynolds takes us through the lives and loves of these people. Helene at twenty-six years comes back from Chicago to Helena, Arkansas to bury her aunt and find out why her mother, Queen Ester gave her up as a baby. She was raised by Aunt Annie b and Uncle Ed but they never supplied the answers to her questions.

We are privy to the idiosyncrasies of Liberty who believes a family is comprised of three. When her husband leaves after a fight one day, leaving her with some money and their daughter Queen Ester, she feels incomplete. She is forever trying to find that third person to make the circle complete. Enter Chess, a young man, who saw his father killed by hateful white folks over a jar of peaches. Having survived a flood, he finds himself in Liberty's restaurant. She tries to make him a son. He does not want to be in that family but every time he leaves, Liberty goes out and finds him. He eventually marries Halle and their life is full of strife and violence. Chess has his mistress, Morning, move in to help raise his children after Halle dies. There are other characters on the fringe who become integral elements in the story. For example, there is all-seeing Other, who does not speak.

I eagerly awaited the release of this book. Reading novels with settings in the south is a passion of mine; that this story was set in Arkansas, my birth state, made it more anticipated. But this was a novel that had to grow on me. Scenes were extended and at times drawn out. I labored over several passages that had to be re-read several times, reminiscent of the convoluted writing of Morrison and Walker. However, I cannot overlook the superb writing skills with its flowering language and superfluous metaphors. It was after discussing this book with my daughter that I was able to delve further into the symbolism and the license the author took with literary devices---- so much so that one could get lost. This was indeed a family drama with secrets; most are revealed satisfactorily but I admit I was left scratching my head by the bizarre ending. Nevertheless, I continue to seek and enjoy writers who step outside of the box and challenge readers. Reynolds, a Hurston-Wright award winner, has a great future; it will be interesting to see what she does next.

Absolutely Riveting!.......2004-01-28

Absolutely Riveting!
In 1976 Helene returns home to Arkansas to bury her Aunt Annie B the woman who raised her. Longing for a mothers love and the answers to all those bits and pieces she overheard over the years about her family. Helene visits her mother Queen Ester (who always refused to see her) determined to find the truth she questions her mother. As Queen Ester opens up and the story unfolds it reveals the pain and hardship of three generations of women who are woven together and torn apart. Reynolds gift of story telling makes this debut absolutely riveting! The language- a melody of old Southern blues that leaves a chill.

Book Description

With her trademark sensuality and dazzling storytelling, Julia London brings us the Rogues of Regent Street, three dashing, aristocratic gentlemen whose scandalous exploits are the talk of the ton. Adrian Spence, Earl of Albright, has earned his notoriety on the dueling field, and in the finest drawing rooms—and boudoirs—of England. This is his story....

It was strictly business as Adrian Spence claimed the woman his brother desired. A hasty wedding, and Lilliana Dashell was his—sweet revenge on the father who disinherited him and the brother who let it happen. Their wedding night is a revelation as passionate, innocent Lilliana ignites fires Adrian tries desperately to deny. By day he is a stranger. By night he is the lover of her dreams, and she a shameless wanton in his arms. But Adrian is determined that no woman will ever possess him. And Lilliana knows that her only hope of taming this very dangerous gentleman is to unlock his deepest mysteries and open his shuttered heart to love....

Customer Reviews:

For fans of Mary Jo Putney and Julia Quinn........2007-08-08

Oh, the anguish of this wounded hero Adrian Spence, Earl of Albright! He shockingly kills a suicidal friend in a terrible duel; an event that plunges him into deep, inconsolable grief. His hateful, harsh father disowns him, his younger brother Benedict gloats at inheriting all that is rightly Adrian's ... and Adrian lashes out by marrying Lilliana Dashell - a lovely country lass expected to marry Benedict. Lilliana has been secretly smitten with Adrian for years, so at first she's thrilled. But Adrian, despite being a satisfying lover, guards his emotions fiercely. Little by little, Lilliana despairs she will ever touch his heart. Dangerous seeds of doubt are sown, aided by Benedict still slinking around, and Adrian's own cool remoteness. Then a dreadful accident occurs, and Adrian's life is plunged into further terrifying disarray. I was in tears as this tortured man struggled to shoulder his immense panic at the possibility of losing Lilliana: He had been heartless, indifferent, absorbed with obsessions and blind to everything around him. Heart blind... Adrian and Lilliana's stormy, breathtaking romance is a stunning keeper, to savour with laughter and tears.

The misunderstandings get very old.......2005-08-08

Otherwise, the book was an enjoyable read. But as the misunderstandings continue and the lead couple seem not only unable but unwilling to trust, this reader began to wish for the book to end. And it ended very, very well, It just took too long. It almost seemed that London nearly finished the book, realized it was too short, and picked up another (and ultimately disheartening) series of misunderstandings and distrust. 3.5 stars for wearing me out with the lack of trust and heavy doses of psychology. Otherwise I'd have given it 4 stars. I cried a lot, and I liked it well enough to read the rest of the series.

Pretty Good.......2004-04-09

Julia London is generally a good storyteller, and there are parts of this book that are extremely well-written and humorous, especially those where the heroine attempts to shake the hero's disinterest; these are amusing enough in themselves to justify reading the book.

However, I do not consider this book on par with some of her other novels. I really didn't like the hero that much, nor did I find all of his psychological problems particularly interesting. I find it implausible when 18th century characters spout 20th century college psychology. And I find one of the basic premises, that he would kill his best friend, to lack credibility.

With that disclaimer, this isn't a bad read, just not as good as some of her other books.

A really vindictive hero.......2003-09-03

I devoured The Dangerous Gentleman in less than a day. As I read the first three-fourths of this book, I knew I had a five star rating in my hands. However, in the end, the misery over the continued perils of the leads' relationship was so relentless that I had to reduce it to four stars. Regardless, it was still a very engrossing read and packs more than one big surprise.

Adrian Spence, the Earl of Albright, is one vindictive hero. In the opening pages, he has just killed a man in a duel. Deciding to hide out for a while, he travels to his family's country estate. There, he encounters his enraged father. Adrian knows his father has never loved him and realizes he wants a reason to disinherit him. He wants to give his unentailed properties to his favorite son, Benedict. When Adrian's father hears of the fatal duel, he uses it as a reason to finally disinherit Adrian and tells him to never return to the family country estate. Adrian is very upset although the actual disinheritance does not surprise him. His greatest sorrow is that of losing his beloved country estate.

While departing he stops in the nearby village and discovers that his spineless brother, Benedict, is planning to marry Lilliana Dashell, the daughter of a local country gentleman. Apparently Lilliana's father is seriously in debt and has agreed to give Benedict 60% ownership of his estate in exchange for payment of his debts. Adrian sees his father's sordid manipulations in all of it and knows the marriage would be very advantageous for his father since the rich farmland property adjoins his. Adrian decides to wreak revenge on his father and brother and immediately makes a much more attractive offer for Lilliana's hand. Adrian has wealth of his own and can easily afford this well-planned revenge. His offer comes with only one condition - he and Lilliana must marry immediately. He knows that he has probably met her at some time during their childhood but does not remember her. But oh, this is such a fine revenge.

Lilliana is a spunky yet gentle heroine who has always been in love with Adrian Spence. She doesn't really want to marry his brother. But since the marriage is probable and will help her family's finances, she has resigned herself to it. When she is informed of Adrian's request to marry her, she is ecstatic. She can't believe it is really happening and is somewhat suspicious. After all, he doesn't even know her, does he? As he pours on the charm, he convinces her to marry him. He knows he is a highly desirable candidate for marriage to a titled lady much less the daughter of a country gentleman. As soon as they are married and in his coach heading toward Adrian's own country estate, his charm disappears. Adrian makes no effort to converse with Lilliana and seems not interested in her a bit. As we see into his thoughts, we realize that he thinks she is just a boring, country girl without any attractive attributes. He thinks she talks incessantly. He feels no guilt over using her so badly. And as each hour, then day, passes, we really, really want him to get his comeuppance.

Lilliana senses something is wrong as soon as they depart from their wedding. But she is an optimistic sort of gal and keeps hoping for the best. Then she discovers that he didn't even know who she was before he sought her hand. Later she realizes he totally avoids all contact with her during the day. After that, understanding dawns as his superior attitude towards her penetrates her optimism. The only time he seems to appreciate her is during the night before he retires to his own bed. At first she is distressed, then devastated, and finally believes her life is ruined and feels such a fool. At last, she decides she is not going to take it anymore. Her gentile manners are laid aside and she lets her naturally adventuresome personality take over. It is totally entertaining as she surprises Adrian and then silently crosses him or disobeys his edicts. He, in turn, attempts to conceal any emotion towards her actions. This is a thoroughly enjoyable part of the book.

Then, gradually, the real problems begin (yes - it can get a lot worse). Benedict begins to visit the couple frequently and since the brothers have never been close, Adrian is highly suspicious of his brother's actions. Benedict was a real pain - deliberately causing even more problems between Adrian and Lilliana and he finally gets very tiresome. Unfortunately, this is a book that relies heavily on The Big Misunderstanding formula. And it is not just one misunderstanding, but one piled on top of yet another. During all of this, Adrian and Lilliana's sensual relationship is interwoven - on again - off again. These scenes rate about a 4.0 out of 5.0 (see More About Me for rating guidelines).

The Dangerous Gentleman is the first in a series of three books referred to as the Rogues of Regent Street. The second - The Ruthless Charmer and the third - The Beautiful Stranger. This is the first of London's books I have rated less than five stars. She is a favorite author and although this book had some aggravating pages, I have to highly recommend it. It is not often that I praise a book that has The Big Misunderstanding unresolved for so long. But it is just a testament to London's writing skills that it still captivated me totally - right to the last page.

If you can afford the time and money........2003-06-21

I have recently bought a few hundreds of romance novels based on the lowest and hightest rating reviews I gathered from this website. It's very helpful indeed. I always read the lowest ratings first and see if I still want to get the book despite of that. The Dangerous Gentleman was my first book by Julia London. She is quite a new talent. There were moments in her book that made me laugh aloud. She certainly knows how to write but she can never equal Judith McNaught in style. If you have read Miss McNaught's books, you will surely find Miss London's lacking in many aspects--like those in the low ratings. I don't think that this book is deserved to be rated four or five stars unless you have not yet had the pleasure to read the same romance genre written by other truly talented authors, such as Judith McNaught, Amanda Quick, Andrea Kane, Julie Garwood, to name a few. I don't think that I will pick up more of Miss London's book now that I have satisfied my curiosity about her writing style. Don't read those talented authors I mentioned above first if you really want to give Miss London a try.

Certainly readable.......2005-10-07

Another trip into the world of Predators hunting on earth. This time a ship crash in the cold Russian tundra. Send in the salvage crew to retrieve technology, add a touch of Russian cold war paranoia, and a heat emitting station and you have the essential story for this book. Archer's second outing for the Predator franchise, while readable, isn't as enjoyable as the first. In this instance, I recommend the Dark Horse comics graphic novel over the book.

Halfway Decent.......2004-12-12

While it does do the Predator character justice, I have to say COLD WAR is my second-to-least favorite of the Aliens and Predator novels (1st is EARTH HIVE). As has been said before, the majority of the book is just people talking- Russians whispering off "ice demons", Americans spreading conspiracy theory, Schaefer (Arnie character's brother) being leveraged into going along with a mission to secure Predator technology. The dialogue is believable, but the pacing is off and the characters are horribly unlikable. I haven't read CONCRETE JUNGLE yet, but plan to and hope it's better than this.

PREDATOR'S COLD WAR BURNS WITH ADVENTURE!.......2004-10-05

tHIS IS ACTUALLY THE 1ST pREDATOR BOOK i'VE TRIED. iT WAS A FAST-PACED ACTION/ADVENTURE NOVEL that was fun to read.

The latest Alien vs Predator movie made me hunger for more, so I found this book and tried it. Glad I did. Nathan Archer is a good action/adventure sci-fi writer.

My only regret? That this story could have been fleshed-out more, both in storyline and character development.

When Hell freezes over..........2004-08-30

Siberia has very little to offer - deadly storms, bears and some oil. So when the Pentagon detects a Predator's spaceship in the region they figure this might be a chance of a lifetime to grab some of the alien technology. And they better hurry, because while the Russians are baffled by the string of murders - villagers, soldiers, DOGS - they won't be baffled for long.
It becomes a race between the two nations to capture the alien hunters before they can escape.
Detective Schaefer returns, as part of the U.S. team, a unwilling part I may add. And he has his own ideas about what to do with the spaceship and its crew.
Good idea but nobody every explained why the ship crashed in the first place.

Nice book, but I've read better.......2003-09-04

Cold War was a decent book, but it lacked alot of action. Most of the book is just people talking, with the exception of a few chapters. I haven't read the first book, Concrete Jungle, but I'm planning on it. I can't say that I have read the other predator books, but I have read all of the pred v.s. alien novels. I suggest if u like to read pred books and u enjoyed the alien movies, pick up alien v.s. predator PREY (Book 1). The first book is excellent, but the next 2 were about the same as this. Over all I enjoyed this book but I wish it had more action. PEACE OUT...

Predator Cold War sees the welcome return of Detective Schaefer (Arnie's brother) tackling once again the threat of the total killing machine - the Predators. Being kidnapped by the US Government and sent on a near impossible mission to Northern Siberia, Schaefer must either join forces or fight against Soviet troops in the race to get the Predators and their alien secrets first.

The artwork and storyline are superb with many scenes in the book leaving you drooling for more. Recommended Reading - One of the Best Predator collections around!!!
