Customer Reviews

Disturbing. Riveting.

Flores Williams writes in shockingly honest style, like an ego and libido on shore leave, with the super ego left hog-tied and screaming bloody murder in alternate acts. "The Last Stand" is tough, smart, funny, and very hard to forget.

Denver Daze

We saw JFW read at the Lion's Lair in Denver. First, the dude is for real. Second, I haven't seen a lot of spoken word, but his reading was off the hook. If you get the chance, go!I got his book. Really liked it. Couldn;t put it down, but it was a little intense and freaky for my personal taste. But still a great read. I recommend it for something different.

Like Nothing Else

My friend recommended to me "Last Stand". I hadn't heard of it and I don't know why. (Actually, I do.) There hasn't been a book published like this in years. Sam could be George Bush. I'm so sick of mealy mouthed writers equivocating about their positions...This guy pulls no punches. This book is a vicious assault on dumb America. A litmus test for the kidn of person you are. Deal with it.

an amazing book

I found this book while I was living in England at Border's in Oxford. When I look for books I read the first page and if it catches my attention ill read it. When I picked up this book I read the first page and couldn't stop. But I couldn't read the whole book in the store so I bought it. I was also looking for a book because I was taking a week trip in the French Alps. I finished this book in four days. I was addicted. The writing in it was different from any other book I have read. It never got boring and you felt for the main character even though he was a pessimist, and I am the most optimistic person I know. When I was done I gave this book to my friend Paddy to read and he also thought it was great. I definately suggest this book to anyone who is looking for a different style of awesome reading!
