Damn

Summary: Good Start
Review: After I completed this novel the first thing that came to mind was how amazed I was that I could remember all the many charecters in this book--Luckly someone told me that the key to reading this is to read it as if someone were telling me about visions they had. If you read this novel with the intent of only listening to this gifted youngster tell a story and not worrying about the charecters you will find as I did that DAMN! is really good. I was surprised that in the end I found myself remembering all the charecters--especially GUS the bum. This novel is different from others that I've read over the past couple of years. It's refreshing to know that someone with such potential is lerking out there ready to engrave his name in the hearts and mind of the reading public. Thanks A. P. for your own brand of writing--Good luck and I can't wait to see what's next.

Summary: Is it live or is it Memorex?
Review: Assistant District Attorney Sharon Seguin, has been brutally
murdered in her home and there are no clues. This is the opening
scene for what appears to be a serious murder mystery. Well, maybe
it is and maybe it isn't.

This story is narrated by 14 year Linsey Hicks, who shares the
dreams or premonitions that continually invade his subconscious,
and leaves readers wondering what exactly is going on. Through his
visions, we see hate, nurtured by racist skin heads and we witness

the pointless kidnapping of high school teenagers, or so it seems.
Also projected through a mental fog in his mind are unrecognizable
snippets of unsolved murders.

Linsey is unable to bury within his subconscious the flashes of the
murders, the acts of racism or the disappearance of the teenagers.
And when he tries to share what he thinks he knows with his family,
he is afraid it will give the impression that he needs psychological
help or even worse, could jeopardize his life.

The ending of this novel is quite an eye opener and the writer was
able to tie the visions together. But as a reader I was left asking
the questions was Linsey dreaming about the present, or were his
visions the projections of things to come? This story brings to
mind the movie, The Sixth Sense. Please pick up a copy and see for yourself. -- Reviewed by aNN Brown.
