Bohemian Heart

Rating:
Summary: Bohemian Heart by James Dalessandro
Review: From page one I was taken in by the city I love, San Francisco. Every turn on every street felt like home. While some of the sex narrative was more than I needed to know, I was enmeshed through it like I was there. The twists of Lombard Street are only matched by the authors ability to take new turns through out the pages. I can't wait for him do another book.

Rating:
Summary: The book has become a classic, a collector's item.
Review: I'm James Dalessandro, the author of Bohemian Heart. I'm a veteran screenwriter who returned to his first love, fiction, out of frustration with Hollywood. I'm amazed at the reception of Bohemian Heart, many reviewers compared it to the work of Dashiell Hammet, Raymond Chandler, Scott Turow, etc. It covers 100 years of San Francisco history in a contemporary mystery, and it's full of the politics, corruption and colorful characters who populate one of the world's great cities. It's prequel "1906", about the San Francisco earthquake and similar issues, is scheduled for a winter, 2000 release. A film adaptation of Bohemian Heart is on the way. I think it's funny, literate, and constantly surprising. I hope it finds its way to more and more readers....James Dalessandro
