Summary: Lynn Loyalty!
Review: ..Run, don't walk, to your computer and order "Loyalty" by John Curry at Amazon.com. Curry (former President of Northeastern University) grwe up in Lynn, and is now a fiction writer. His latest, "Loyalty", is a story of an Irish family, crime, friendship, etc., and is entirely LYNN based..LYNN is the true background star of this fiction, form the 50"s to the 80's!!!! example:

"For almost four months now Jack and Marjorie had been dating steadily--movies at the Paramount and Warner, dinner at Anthony Athanas' original Hawthorne Restaurant in Olympia Square, lunches of spaghetti and meat sauce at Sassone's walk-down restaurant behind the Warner, Red Sox games at Fenway, pizza at Monte's on Eastern Avenue, and long walks, both day and night, along the beach."

I've only read about 80 pages so far..it's a very entertaining book even if you DIDN'T have Lynn as a reference..the title should really be "LYNN LOYALTY"

Have Fun!

Summary: Good Read,not worthy of the cheap paper its printed on!
Review: After listening to the author describe his book on the Brudnoy show here in Boston, I rushed to order a copy. It is a well written work which takes the reader through a period trip. Lynn Mass. from the 30's to the 80"s It is centered on the subsequent rise and decline of both its characters and this once gleaming city of sin. While John Curry is not yet on a par with Robert Parker, he sucessfully combies mystery with location. I wish the author would find a real publisher! This fan will not repurchase a $25.00 cheap paperback with a generic cover. I also cannot endure the paper cuts from the poorly trimmed pages,maybe Bob Parker can advise him here.

Summary: Laundry Hill?
Review: Read the book and really enjoyed it, but I never heard of Laundry Hill. I grew up in that area and don't recall any such place. Can you enlighten me Mr. Curry?

Summary: One Great Read!
Review: This is a smart, fast, and compelling chronicle of the rise of Boston Irish mobsters following the Second World War. It is also a powerful study of family--of characters related by blood and blood-letting, where the difference tests the meaning of the book's title. LOYALTY skillfully combines an intricate plot, a vivid sense of the period, and a rich cast of psychologically complex characters who evoke both our wrath and sympathy. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Bravo, Mr. Curry.
