NOW for the bad parts ... I have outgrown books with tons of cursing like sailors in it. so was skipping over a load of words. :)
but the book was awesome I laughed, and at sometimes thought wow! there really is no way that would have happened in real life .. but then WE ARE READING FICTION !! so I truly enjoyed the book .. there were also sad moments where I had to stop and wipe the tears from my eyes from crying so much ... I felt for Marty always wanting recognition and love from a man as a dad figure, and oh my for Paulie as he tried to get Tina to see Max was the best man she ever landed for her and her children and who would truly Love them and give the the nurturing they needed, and then when Paul Gave His Life for them to survive... still breaks my heart ..and to read at the ending the funeral service provided..... this reader cried again..
I adored this Author when He wrote under his pen name and have most all those books ... and FOR ME... I find The writing to be as entertaining and as delicious and rewarding to read as when written under the pen name so ... I am trhilled for this Author to feel great about their works being Published in Their NAME... Kudo's
