Two dimensional and poorly written.......2005-09-01

I don't know why I bothered finishing this book rather than dropping it halfway through. The characters were caricatures, the plot was not interesting, and there really was only one surprise at all in the book, which was at the very end and did little to enliven an otherwise dull, predictable story.

Given the number of books that Mr. Higgins has sold, I sincerely hope that his writing has improved over time. In this book he uses the same words and phrases over and over. As an example, he describes (in the first sentence!) a small door within a larger door as a "Judas gate", which I suppose is an appropriate, if not very common, term. Several different characters, from very different strata of life (policeman, businessman, thug) and society also then refer to "a Judas gate". I have heard this phrase maybe 2 or 3 times over the last several years, but here we have it every 50 pages or so.

As another example when we are first introduced to one character she is described by the narrator as "Irish-looking, dark hair razor-cut to the skull..." and then when the main character meets her a hundred pages later, his impression is "The dark hair, razor-cut to the skull, gave her a rather boyish appearance and the sallow, Irish peasant face..." Come on, when an author consults his notes on character description can't he at least have a thesaurus handy?

In terms of plot it appeared that this book was written "on the fly" with no forethought and the author just walked forward from scene to scene without any overall scheme of what was going to happen. Although there is a fair amount of "action", it has essentially nothing to capture ones attention intellectually and keep it.

Do yourself a favor and read something else.

Reading a master writer as he learns his craft.......2003-08-07

While this is certainly not the Higgins many of us expect in his present day writings, it is still a very nice piece of work. Those who pick this book up, expecting an Eagle Has Landed or The President's Daughter, will be disappointed. This book pre-dates much of Higgins' work, but it does offer us insight into how he crafted his tales.

We see him ply the descriptions that we have to come to expect and his characters all have nuances that make them almost real. At times you can hear them talking to you. The story takes place essentially within the span of 12 hours, covering the Graveyard Shift of the Central Division of the London police. A newly assigned Sargeant is called into duty a few days early, due to a lack of personnel and a flu bug making the rounds.

His task is simple enough. Find a recently released felon and inform him that he should not go near his ex-wife, who has remarried. But the felon is intent on seeing her, and as Sargeant looks for him, the underworld of London's nightlife becomes the focus of the story. When the felon turns up dead, the Sargeant begins to put the pieces together, and the perpetrator is caught.

This is a quick read that is hard to put down, as many of Higgins' books are. It's a great book to use to introduce Higgins to a new reader. This book will remain on my shelves for years to come, and I have placed in the local public libraries here as well.

Well written and intertesting.......2003-03-01

This was the first book of Jack Higgins I have ever had the pleasure to read. I spent the evening reading it and finished it in three hours.
The plot was well paced and the characters interesting, a fine book and a good read.

An average police story.......2003-01-04

This is a reprint of a novel first published in 1965, but the setting seems to be slightly earlier. A pound sterling was worth considerably more than now. The story covers a one-day period and is a little too compressed in time.

The story introduces Nick Miller, a police sergeant with independent financial means. The case concerns Ben Garvald, just released from serving a sentence for a payroll robbery. There are people who don't want Ben to come home, including his ex-wife and her sister. The search for Ben results in a large amount of collateral damage as various characters seem to trip over their own feet.

Bizarre yet very entertaining.......2007-02-19

The title about says it all. The author definitely keeps your full attention while you are listening to these assorted strange tales. He brings the limits of human imagination to you in an easily understood presentation that will have you thinking twice about your future interactions with others, especially strangers. It can become quite scary at times as you find yourself imagining that you are one of the various victims in these short tales. A recommended addition to anyones audio library.

DARK LOTUS.......2001-06-24

This Cryptic Collection of Stories is as Scary As Hell. I would recomend it to any Scary Story fan. It makes it better than reading the book caus you can enjoy it in the Dark. Warning: THIS IS VERY SCARY. Stories like Sometimes They Come Back, The BoogyMan, and especialy Jerusalems Lot will freak you out.

Very Entertaining book on tape.......2000-07-09

I listened to the 5 stories today and found it very entertaining. I have seen the movie The Lawnmower Man and it was quite different. But this version was real good. I liked Sometimes they come back the best. Quitters Inc, The ledge and The mangler were all very good as well. This is my 1st King exposure to his horror stories and it was all I expected it to be. I recommend it highly. Narrator John Glover is very good too.

John Glover is great!.......2000-06-21

This was just as good, or maybe even better than reading the book! The things that made it a lot better were the reader, John Glover, he was so great, and the sound effects. I was listening to Lawnmower Man, and I didn't remember it was that scary! This audio book should be heard after you read Night Shift, or if you aren't planning to. All the short stories are guaranteed to give you sleepless nights, and it is a high recommendation!

Book Description

Feisty news reporter Maxi Poole is back, and this time she's working the graveyard shift-where danger lurks in every dark shadow. The graveyard shift-9 p.m. to 6 a.m.-is populated by a myriad of characters roaming the seamy underbelly of L.A. nightlife: pimps and hookers, bartenders and drug pushers, flashers, slashers, and all manner of assorted bad guys. Thrown into that mix is one bright-eyed, blond, California-sunny news reporter, Maxi Poole. The graveyard shift is typically handed off to the most junior reporter on staff-or as a signal that a pink slip is coming. But why Maxi? And at this point in her career? Vowing to find the answers, Maxi finds herself on the trail of a missing boy and in the midst of a city-wide murder spree. It seems the graveyard shift has brought Maxi the most terrifying challenge of her career....and maybe of her life.

Keep Maxi Coming!.......2005-06-20

This book is Maxi Poole at her best. There are light moments (especially for us pet lovers), but there are also the well devised mystery twists that are signature to these books. Guaranteed you'll never see the final one(s) coming, so don't even try to figure it out. If you want a great adventure, just let Maxi lead the way!

Review of the content and characters in "Night Shift".......1998-03-20

A very well done compiliation of short stories. King is very good with characterization and mood. I like the character Winsconsky in Graveyard shift,quite comical. My favourite stories in this book are: "Graveyard Shift","Jerusalems Lot","Quitters Inc.","The Man who loved flowers".and "The Ledge".All of them are good,but there are some very weird ones as well. Over all,a very good read,on par with "Nightmares and Dreamscapes".

Nightshift.......1998-02-18

The audio stories that came along with the collection wre very well done and portrayed by the narrator. Many of the stories dark and scary. Although all the stories from Night Shift were not included, the ones that were were done good.

This will keep you awake at night........1997-05-11

Of all Stephen King's books, NightShift is by far the best. A collection of easily digestible short stories, each is deliciously twisted enough to make you squirm out of your late night coziness. The stories frequently take everyday events, frustrations, and predicaments, and transform them into shocking metamorpheses of our deepest fears and dreads.

If you love to be scared, this is your boogieman.

At times wistful, at times adventurous.......2007-05-12

Award-winning African-American poet Reginald Shepherd presents his fifth collection, Fata Morgana, a gathering of lyrical, free-verse poetry that bridges the divide between words and song. Drawing upon a diversity of sources from personal experience to history, mythology, politics, and natural science, Fata Morgana delves into the mutual effects conception, perception, the self, and a physical and social world have upon one another. At times wistful, at times adventurous, Fata Morgana dares to offer a different perspective of Eve's first awakening, hidden history within the Sahara desert, and the dust that is all that remains of humans and stars in the sky alike. Highly recommended. Feelings for Orpheus I: "Orpheus sits on the strumming esplanade / losing his head for water. Florid / light sounds noon, currents green // with overflowing sun and dumped / industrial wastes: the Chicago River turning / mineral, all emerald, tourmaline."

Oh, to be an engineer in a Leo Frankowski book--you've gotta be honest and you've gotta work hard, but not only do you get to be as brilliant and rich as an astronaut, you get to pull down more than your share of the ladies. (Hey, after all those long hours studying fluid dynamics and systems analysis, it's only fair.) Back for another light-hearted but rumination-filled romp, the beloved author of the Conrad Stargard adventures turns his attention to a legendary nautical mirage, the Fata Morgana. Frankowski supposes the illusion might actually be the mythic Western Isles, which medieval mapmakers put off the coast of France, set adrift in an earthquake to float the world's oceans for hundreds of years.

Fata Morgana's two engineer-protagonists find themselves, naturally, shipwrecked on this strange island, a curious civilization of some 12,000 people largely cut off from present-day earth. Their tech level believably answers the obvious "what-ifs," with the islanders boasting advanced genetics and textiles (including an indestructible "Super-Hemp") but primitive sciences and stunted social progress otherwise. The two sailors create quite a stir with their SCUBA gear, cans of Spam, and Star Wars videotapes--not to mention the fact that the raw materials on their yacht make them rich in this metal-starved land--and intrigue soon ensues.

A fun book to be sure, with satisfying problem-solving and original ideas, but the main character's endless musings on everything from why the government wants us wearing clothes to why a just God can't exist will either irritate or charm you. (And consider yourself warned: our chief hero actually uses the term "Women's Lib" with a straight face and is quick to point out he's not "a f***ing queer!") --Paul Hughes

Customer Reviews:

interesting technology, boring philosophy.......2007-01-21

I enjoyed the technical bit, and the beginning part about the engineers, and a little of it was reminiscent of Heinlein. But it seemed his characters weren't really evolved much from the 50's.
The other part, his ideal dream land, is a little strange. A large underclass of neutered servants, a small upper class bred by eugenic principals, women who are bread for domesticity even in that upper class, all reminds me a lot of something out of the Germany of the 30's, dressed up in medieval garb. Then there a lot of features for adolescent males: nude waitress/prostitutes in the bars, and upperclass women anxious to bed you if you are successful and generous.
All that was intriguing, but it's also coupled by pages and pages where the two protagonists discuss their dislike of women's lib, the government, political correctness, blacks who object to name calling, etc. to the point where it slows the action. However to their credit, the two seem to think sterilization of the servant class is something to be fixed, and at one point the hero even complains to himself that the women of the island are a little too subservient to the local powers that be. It seems amazing that these two unsympathetic have an ounce of suspicion that all might not be right in their paradise.

Leaves you hanging........2006-09-02

Leaves you hanging. Okay story but this was obviously the first in what was suppose to be a series. That was 6 years ago. Don't bother unless other volumes show up.

Don't take yourself so seriously.......2001-03-22

It alarms me to see all of the people that write comparing Frankowski to Heinlein, or who try to over-analise (yes I meant that) his work.

I find this book, like most of Frankowski's books, to be a pleasent diversion from being forced to think in ruts. It takes the kind of tounge in cheek humor that appears in spurts in the Conrad Stargard series and focuses more on it, as did A Boy and His Tank.

It alarms me to see people reviewing it as if it were the Bible, when really it is a scapegoat, a diversion from having to think. Read a few chapters, then close your eyes and imagine "what if"...thats the key to Frankowski's books. I would have given it 4 and a half stars if I could have, just because the ending is somewhat dissastisfying (allthough nothing like A Boy and His Tank, I wanted to kick something when I finished that).

In a way he is like a somewhat more technologically savy Douglas Adams. The explination of why the isles had never been discovered reminded me of Adams explanation of the race of beings that had never developed space travel, simply because it had never occured to them to look up. The unfounded accusations of bias and stereotype are pretty much nullified when you consider that Frankowski usually justifies almost everything his characters believe, at times to a fault. In my opinion this is probably due to his "method writing" style, and it helps to develop characters.

All in all I would say that this book is an interesting diversion that allows you to ask "what if" without forcing you to think, if you don't want to. Don't try to make it something its not; Its not Heinlein, its not Tolkin, its not Verne (allthough I think Verne and Frankowski would feel a kinship), no matter how much you want to compare it to them, realise that its probably closer to "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" than it is to anything else.

Bad! Bad! Incredibly bad! and slow and dull to boot........2000-09-23

Leo Frankowski just doesn't know when to quit, and that's too bad. I read Frankowski's _Crosstime Engineer_ series and thought that it was a fun and charming updating of a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court, with a lot of interesting facts about medieval European history thrown in besides. But this latest book of his stinks on ice. The idea behind the Fata Morgana is that two engineers on an extended yacht trip have an accident in the Atlanic Ocean and run aground on the fabled Western Isles. What Western Isles you ask? Well these are the Western Isles of yore, that apparently were really a massive chunk of tenuously anchored lava off of the coast of France until the year 1099 when it broke loose and floated free in the world's oceans. Since then the isles have been floating free, isolated from contact with the world's civilizations and a thriving civilization has developed there, in isolation, until our protagonists come along. Now, the first question you might ask is how a chunk of rock large enough to support a civilization of 12,000 people could have floated free for the last 900 years without ever being discovered. Frankowski "explains" this by saying that it had been discovered, but no one believed any of the discoverers because the island kept moving. But wait, it gets lamer. You, the discerning reader, might ask how this island remained undiscovered in our modern era of high altitude reconnaissance and satellites. Well Frankowski "explains" this by saying that no spy satellite had ever looked down at this island and that it was too small to show up on the images from weather satellites. Now, if you can swallow this then you can swallow the rest of the novel, which, quite frankly, isn't that interesting. Our two protagonists, both engineers, are noble and hard working souls who land on this island, show the natives how it's done, foil the evil archbishop, get some hot native tail and in general save the day, all the while bloviating on various topics such as political correctness, women's lib, religion, etc. Now, Bob Heinlein, may he rest in peace, could get away with this, even when it got thick in novels such as _I Will Fear no Evil_ and _Number of the Beast_ because he kept the story moving and because his characters were interesting people who found themselves in interesting predicaments. Not so Frankowski. There are a few interesting ideas in the book, the most being a form of Christianity based upon the teachings of the Apostle Thomas (doubting Thomas), but these are basically throw aways and not enough to redeem this book. Summary: AVOID

Entertaining, but disjointed.......2000-08-07

I enjoyed this book. It was another fun read from Leo Frankowski, but different from his other books I have read. I was expecting that he had gotten tired of his Conrad books, as authors do, or felt that he had brought that story line to a natural conclusion, but was looking to do the same thing all over again with new characters in a new universe. It turns out I was wrong.

He spends a few chapters in the beginning introducing and developing his characters to a much greater extent than he has before. I really feel like I know the two engineers. Then he puts them in an unusual situation by shipwrecking them on the floating island. So far all in line with what the jacket cover and reviews lead me to expect. His greater depth of character development, I chalk up to a more mature author. He did a similar job in the opening chapters of "a Boy and His Tank".

Then he spends the whole middle of the book describing the Island, both the physical and social history. This is where I was surprised. Conrad, in the series which will always define Leo Frankowski for me, spent his time building things, and fighting. The new characters start off very action oriented, then turn into vehicles who ask questions so that the author can describe the Island. Then they talk to themselves about society in the real world and how it compares to the Island (the only part I didn't care for). They set out to build things, but don't have Conrad's luck, at least not at first. They try to avoid conflict, and in this they have more luck than Conrad, although they aren't completely successful of course. The Island is the main character in the middle of the book, not the people. But the Island is fascinating, and this is not a bad thing.

Then the end, just kind of ends. The author did a good job of keeping me guessing. Right up until the last few pages, I wasn't sure which way he was going to go with it. But when he finished, it was a bit abrupt, and I said "oh" instead of "Ah!". I really got the feeling that the author reached the length the Publisher required, so he stopped writing.

Some enchanted evening...........2002-03-17

... in 1861, Detective Paul Picard, of the Paris Police, is hot on the trail of Baron Mantes, who has a penchant for murdering young wmoen and leaving their decapitated bodies at the scene of the crime. Recovering from his most recent run-in with the Baron, from which Picard emerges decidedly the worse for wear, he attends a party given by a wealthy and mysterious immigrant named Ric Lazare, of dubious origins, and his fabulously beautiful wife, Renee Lazare. The party is attended by all of upper-class Paris and the draw is a fortune-telling machine which holds all the guests mesmerized. Invited into a private room which holds the famous machine, Picard finds himself hurled headlong into a web of gypsy magic, murder, seduction and mystery that leads him through Germany to Austria, the Hungarian steppes, and back to Paris, to confront his fate before the fortune telling machine. His fortune, Fata Morgana, is, like Ric and Renee Lazare, a shimmering mirage, irresistable, unknowable, and ultimately unreachable; one can only accept it as it is. Kotzwinkle has woven a magical story that holds us entranced to the very last page.

Gypsy mystery and extortionist magic........2000-09-02

Perhaps this is the story Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would have penned were he apprehended at a circus performance and dispatched straight to his typewriter. Fata Morgana is a solid mystery with fantasy elements that elevate it from sleuth versus villain into an enigmatic and elusive tale tinged with Gypsy mystery, parlor games and extortionist magic.

Inspector Picard, career descending and body weight ascending, is on the trail of Ric Lazare who is bilking high-society members out of considerable cash. Ric Lazare possesses a machine that foretells the future, but this alone does not explain his hold on those in his circle of influence. Picard investigates with the intention of exposing the salon scam of a medium and his costly advice, instead, he encounters the unknown - Black Magic, Grand Bewitching, the creations of a German toy maker, and a nagging foreshadowing of events, particularly his own demise. Picard's sleuthing takes him through Nuremberg, Budapest and Old-World Paris and everything Picard discovers lays in shadows, echoes and reflections. Discovering the background and identity of Ric Lazare (and his stunning wife, Renee, who has Paris bewitched) is what keeps the reader turning the pages. Clues come from:

1.) The mysterious death a priest. 2.) A half-Paleolithic family on a one-way forest trail somewhere on the steppes of Eastern Hungary. 3.) A hashish smoking Chief of Police. (The smoke is rather strong...occasionally it renders me unconscious.) 4.) A gifted toy maker, his evil apprentice, and ultimately the toys themselves, which are "much finer than men and much worse." 5.) A library in Paris where a volume of century old letters and diary excerpts reveal the true, yet impossible, identity of Ric Lazare and his wife Renee.

Kotzwinkle adds amusing sensuality to his descriptions of Nineteenth century Paris. (1861) What other capital would throw a party for the Great Whores of the City? The description of this party and the sauced satyr, Count Cherubini, who hosts it are worth the read alone. Extravagant debauchery Old-World style.

Kotzwinkle includes several zestful scenes between Inspector Picard and the ladies - a prostitute, an enchantress, and a woman in a tavern whom he seduces by hiring a gypsy Cymbolom player to envelop her in aural foreplay. Picard is quite the ladies man and these scenes show that while he may be an old dog, the learning of new tricks isn't necessary if the old ones are masterfully performed!

A sensual, literate feast........1999-02-09

Kotzwinkle is one of the most lyrical writers around, and this book is one of his best. Fata Morgana is a true magical mystery tour, richly textured and fraught with surprises. It's great to see it back in print.
