Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I got at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 60% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Books I have authored.

Many times I receive books for FREE to give them an honest review. I do not get paid to give a good or bad review. Spotlights are promotional and should be regarded as advertising for the book spotlighted. Regardless of where or how I got a book, my review will be as honest as I can make it.

THE PEOPLE’S POLICE by Norman Spinrad


This book was amusing, irreverent, insightful and outrageous.  A quote from page 37 provides insight to the author’s style, “Never attribute anything to conspiracy that can be explained by assholery.”   The quote won’t fly on my Amazon review but for my blog, my rules.  This is not a book for the faint of heart or those who oppose satirical writing  or who are offended by profuse profanity.   New Orleans is the setting and the people provide stupendous color.  Martin Luther Martin is a New Orleans swamp rat who crawls out of the swamp and changes the complexion of New Orleans.

Spinrad is a philosophic game changer.   His commentary on society and his views all expressed by his diverse characters make one consider the depth of depravity in our elected officials.  Ignoring the social commentary, the book is a grossly depicted view of New Orleans and the outlook of those who choose to live there. 

This was an excellent book that can be read as just an entertaining story about a New Orleans in the not to distant future or a treatise on social mores and chicanery.

I enjoyed the book and recommend it to anyone who isn’t easily offended.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
