Official Review: The Juicy Fruit Man by LaMar Going

[Magnify3]

Going to war is one thing but bringing the war back with you is probably even worse. Thanks for this review.

[Kelsey Hatch]

Illegal activities, loyal friendships, mental health, and suspense all come together to tell this wartime tale. I wouldn't expect a Vietnam veteran story to be such a thriller, so this book catches my attention. War really does change people. I can imagine how it would be easy to mistake this story for a nonfictional one! Props to the author, and thank you for this captivating review!

I believe the story is fused with an aftermath of war event, investigtion, crime and all. It seems like a great thriller to read. Nice review.

I love the fact that Declan's story is full of tension and realism. A Vietnam veteran, he is an ordinary man who finds a rather unusual way to deal with his inner demons and war memories. I'm a little worried about the military vernacular, though. Thanks for a great review!

The book sounds interesting and pretty intense with all that smuggling, money, a war veteran struggling to make ends meet and coping with his life after the war and a homicide detective who seems to be a dirty cop. I will put it on my To Read List. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

This seems like a good read. "Vietnam veteran" had me confused for a bit. Thanks for the review.

[Pretty giftee]

This sounds like an interesting thriller, good enough to keep me busy till the end of the book. This is a must read for me, hope I'd enjoy it. Congrats on BOTD

This book seems interesting with enough action, intrigue and fun to read. Wonderful review.

[Bukola02]

This book is suspense filled and intense. I look forward to reading it. Thanks for the review

I like your review, and I am sure I will like the book as well with its intensity, written in a way you forget it's fiction - that's definitely an invite to read the book.

Chills! That’s what I got when I read the opening line of your review. I’ll be adding this to my shelves to read in the future. I am curious as to how the main character’s feelings hint at racial discrimination.

[Fliesie01]

What a great review, I can't wait to start reading this book. Stories like these sadden me that one person has to endure so much pain, yet go back to normal as if nothing happened.

[Thosyn22]

Wow! This book looks so interesting to me. It’s not easy to be a soldier and I bet it wasn’t also easy for him to win the battle also.

[Nicolene75]

A wonderful and insightful review, thank you for that. I don't necessarily prefer books about either war or drugs but this one sounds like it has the bones for a very compelling read. Congratulations to the author on BOTD, it sounds like it is well deserved!
