Aloha, Mr. Lucky

Summary: Fascenating
Review: Never has Hawaiian lore become so facenatingly absorbed. Star Holley bungles his way through a series of threats, a dog-napping, murder and a stab at romance. Corson Hirschfeld gives us one intriguingly, raciously funny read.

Summary: Not Exactly Hiassen or Leonard
Review: The author makes a valiant attempt to remind readers of the quirky and offbeat characters of Hiassen and Leonard novels, but doesn't quite pull it off. I never really cared what happened to the main character, Star.

Summary: leave 'em laughing
Review: This is one of the best capers I've ever read. I laughed for pages at a time. The prose is so polished, the plot so tight, and the characters so well limned that I found it difficult to believe that it is a first novel. Comparisons are inevitable, so I will skip them (although, hint: what writer has the same initials?). One thing that set this book apart was that there is a great deal of Hawaiian mythology and natural history woven through it, and I learned quite a bit. Enjoy!

Summary: Aloha Corson Hirschfeld !
Review: What a first novel ! This well conceived story never lets you down and makes for quick enjoyable read. Corson brings to life the language and flavor of Hawaii that only a devotee could bring to the forefront. His characters are as real as they are compelling. You will be left intrigued by the past of this island paradise that clearly has more to teach us about its culture, archaeology and its flora and fauna. Corson weaves a wonderful yarn. Best read on the beach or headed there. You will learn a lot about the culture and ethnology of Hawaii by reading this book.

Review: What a great read! Hirschfeld drew lively characters. Star is a delightfully laid-back protagonists and the villains combine menace and hilarity in equal measures. Hawaii is the perfect setting for the fast paced action. I learned a lot about the environmental concerns of Hawaii and enjoyed every minute of it. Hope to see a lot more from this new writer.
