Review: I guess most people will go out of there way to do a review on a book they really like. But this one so so very disappointing, I wanted to maybe save some people some time & money.
I usually like this type of a book, but the author was all over the place. I do not think he had a true sense of where he wanted to go with the story.
It seemed like it was written by a High School student, though I know that is not the case. I would not even go as far as saying it was a "good first effort".
If you want to check out a good book (also a movie), try The Believers.

Summary: A recommended tale riddled with twists and turns
Review: Based on the author's personal encounters with occult practices in South America, Prisoner Of Paradise is the compelling novel of an unfortunate man under too much pressure, who ill-advisedly receives a curse. As disaster befalls him on every side, he must necessarily follow the lead of mysterious poems left on his door. Love, treachery, destructive impulses, and more lie in wait in this fascinating and recommended tale riddled with twists and turns.

Review: Excellent story! I couldn't put it down. The author has an almost magical descriptive ability to take reader inside the story. It is easy not only to imagine but to be there living altogether with the narrator, the excitement of the story. The author knows exactly how to use the right words to convey the feelings and to paint the scenary where the story takes place. Love, adventure, and an unexpected ending awaits to anyone who reads this great book. I recommend it highly!

Review: I COULD NOT STOP READING IT. COMPARABLE TO HAGGARD OR MADELEINE L'ENGLE. IT IS A FANTASTIC EPIC INTO THE DARK AND DREARY WORLD OF LOVE WHEN FATE IS NOT IN IT FOR YOU. DID I LOVE IT, YES. DID I FALL IN LOVE, YES. DID I GET SCARED TO DEATH, YES. IT MADE ME NOT WANT TO DIE AND END UP SIX FEET UNDER, COVERED WITH DIRT, GASPING FOR BREATH, AND MISSING MY LOVE. IF YOU WANT A GOOD READ AND ARE SICK OF READNG THROUGH GARBAGE TO FIND SOMETHING WORTH WHILE, THIS IS IT. READ IT READ IT READ IT!
