Hi Michelle and Briant - Michelle, I not only read it, I reviewed it for the newspaper I was working for at the time, The Signal, a daily in Santa Clarita, California.

It was god-awful! I couldn't help but wonder if the writer had ever even seen one single Bogart film, let alone "Casablanca." A hack job from first sentence to last. I don't usually advocate book burning, but in this case, I'd make an exception.

Joe Gores is a far more reliable author. Briant, I'm not surprised you're beating me to the punch, getting the book. I look forward to hearing what you think.
