Dead Luck

Summary: Dead Luck is a "Dead Ringer"
Review: Greg Yawman has proven he is the "Master of the Metaphor", the "Sultan of Similes". Dead Luck takes you on a vivid journey through the dark, perilous streets of Baltimore and into the serenity of rural Maryland. Yawman paints a picture in your mind, so realistic, so clearly perceptible, it would make Bob Ross jealous.

Yawman has captured the imaginations of us all, by leading us through his story with a stripper from Baltimore's Block, as the heroine we all would like to "feel"....... for. Greg gives you the opinion he has personally lived through many experiences from "The Block", leaving us to wonder if the dancer is really a fictional character or a memory from his misinterpreted past.

Greg may lose some readers with his use of some odd words, such as, sycophant and subterfuge, but as long as you have a dictionary handy, you can raise your beefy arm and give it a big thumbs up!

Summary: Good luck with "Dead Luck"
Review: Greg Yawman is a talented writer who has "done it again". "Dead Luck", his second novel, was even more ejoyable to read than his first piece of work, "The Ultimate Plan". Once I started reading this book, it was difficult to put down.

The book takes place in the Baltimore area, and anyone who reads it and lives in Baltimore, will find themselves visualizing locations in the book. If you don't live here in Baltimore, it is still a GREAT read. I admire the way that Greg Yawman has been able to capture the essence of the Baltimore culture on paper.

Greg Yawman offers the reader an interesting, fast paced storyline that is "peppered" with vivid descriptions offering the reader a "spicy" treat that is savored like a good steak coooked on a grill and a glass of cold beer on a warm summer evening.

If you have not read this book, you are missing a truly enjoyable experience.
