Customer Reviews

IF YOU LIKED A DEAD WHITE GUY like Mickey Spillane - THANK GOD Vegas trial attorney Charlie Titus LI

ANY RESIDENT - whether past or present - of "Sin City" recognizes Vegas as, in actuality, JUST ANOTHER SMALL TOWN! IMAGINE VEGAS: Still in its adolescent years! AND THANK GOD! Because = If Vegas ever "grows up", THEN Western Culture's demise is then assured! Pehaps, an end even imminent! Charlie Titus weaves "those Spillane-esque cliches" with a modern word processor's spin, like none other! Whether situating his fictional characters in a mega-opolis' resort hotel suite or at a "Vegas Strip" bar at rush hour, Titus has no equal! THIS BOOK IS A HOOT! It truly is! * * * * * I FOUND MY AUTHOR's SIGNED COPY IN A LOCAL BOOKSTORE "BERRIES & BOOKS" along Parowan, Utah's Main Street - next to the "Breaking Bread Bakery", the latter with its fabulous apple pies - please: order in advance for guaranteed warmth @ delivery! [Customarily, downtown book browsers in Parowan - about 20 minutes' drive North of Cedar City, and within hailing distance of Brian Head Ski Resort - can sit outside, weather permitting, with convenience! AND MUNCHY SNACKS, too]! * * * * * ONLY QUESTION = If author Charlie Titus is U. S. Congress-woman DINA TITUS' [Democrat - Las Vegas, NV] even distant let alone close relative, then HER Nevada political future is now 'seriously questioned', for these reasons! Mrs. Titus now needs to fully explain to her many adoring - and they are numerous - as well as quite faithful NV congressional district constituents: Precisely WHY and also HOW she has been able to keep Charlie's writing talent "under wraps" for this long!! ;-) IS THIS BOOK - in actuality - A "fund raiser" for Mrs. Titus' higher state-level Carson City office in disguise? CALLING: Editor and scribe STEVE SEBELIUS of "The LV City Life" = I ASK YOU! ;-) "WRITE ON", Sir! PLEASE?

Vegas Diary A Dish Served Cold

I want more of Jack Summers. Hard to put down. Bravo!!! A must read.
