Summary: What a bore!
Review: Charming the Snakes has all the ingredients of the Great American Thriller, money, sex and murder, but not necessarily in that order. What raises it above the 'run of the mill pot-boiler' are the constants twists that never quite lead the reader where they might think the plot is going. Charles Winnickey's central anti-hero character should not be likeable, yet the author has painted a word picture of him that makes it difficult not to identify with him for much of this unusual book. It is all part of a literary mix that intrigues and often grips.

Summary: What a bore!
Review: I was delighted to find this book and admired the author for going the self-publishing route. To my dismay, the story seemed to go nowhere. I kept wondering what the story was really going to be about but never really thought there was a focus. This book was very, very disappointing.

Summary: Charming the Snakes
Review: This book was a refreshing change from most "first in a series books". I felt as though the story was told in such a way as to allow the reader to become personal with the characters involved. The authors ability to describe his surroundings lends itself to a realistic and very believable image. I believe that most people will identify with many aspects of this book, and wish they had the strength to be able to confront their own"Snakes".Looking forward to the next book.
