Throwing 7's

Summary: as bad as it gets
Review: Boooring;The only interesting character is Izzy the sleaze,the only feature in the book that rings true.Readers get sick and tired with Bobby goody two shoes Emmet,his little angel of a daughter,and his moral dilemas.Wake up and smell the coffee Emmet boy,this is New York,where anything goes,everybody is corrupted,as the author aptly highlights.If i wanted another savior,I WOULD LOOK FOR HIM IN MY HOMETOWN.So Mr.Hammil,stick to your guns,keep painting New York as it is,and for Chrissake,add a touch of evil to Bobby Emmet,he will be more believable.At this point he is plain boring.

Summary: Just plain silly
Review: This is just a silly book with cartoon characters in a cartoon city. The hero is otherwordly angelic and unrealistic , refusing his ex-wife's advances while blowing away the bad guys without a secind thought. No character in the book has a personality or demeanor that rings true. I picked the hardcover up at the bargain table for [cost]. It turned out the price was too high.

Rating:
Summary: Enjoyed the book
Review: Those who have grown up in Brooklyn would really appreciate this book, and the previous book, 3 Quarters. The author knows Brooklyn, politicians, and cops very, very well.
