What an amazing read! Wow! Very good story but when you remember that it’s based on a true story...wow!
I did find that it needs some editing. Was a little hard to follow in places as there was no break in chapters when the story changed characters. Aside from that, it was a great read!

Just finished this fast paced thriller and what an interesting idea. This book has it all, beautiful women, rich successful men, drug dealers, clever cops psychic mediums and at the centre poor Ron Dalton who tries to keep everything together. A very entertaining read that moves from past to present quite smoothly as it weaves its way through to the bitter end.

"This Was Not Thrilling For Me!
This novel is difficult to read at times because the formatting does not mark the changes of scenes. Also, it needs better editing and proofreading. I normally will stay with a story which has many faults, but I decided to give up at 50 percent. Sorry, I can't recommend your story ... it's just not entertaining me. I felt I was wasting my time. Sorry.

Review of Ides of March.
I guess I should have mentioned that I won't read books where the F-word is used. Maybe once or twice, but this book turned me off.
