Customer Reviews

Wonderful style and suspense till the end!

Once again Jim Grimsley has a way of grasping your attention to a story making you read as fast as you can. These plays are wonderful and really stay with you as you wonder why characters did certain things. Especially after I finished reading Mr. Universe, I still had so many unanswered questions. I got so pulled into the story that I could imagine the muscle man standing there in front of me. Jim Grimsley has a wonderful talent as an author and regardless of your background all of his books are wonderful!! His writing style is fantastic and his books are never predictable. He has a way of describing things in such detail that while you are reading one of his books you actually think you hear the characters talking out the words. Keep up the great writing and I will be looking for the next book of yours soon!
