'Official Review: Money Faucet' by Joe Calderwood is a comprehensive and thorough description of the contents of the book! The intricacies of the story have been well brought to the knowledge of avid readers in the review! The character of the protagonist of the story has been described in detail in the review! The point that the character development in the story was exceptional with complex personalities whose clear motives made their actions relatable is worth mentioning in the review! Nice to learn that the author made ample use of descriptive elements that not only brought the story to life but also elevated its cinematic appeal!

Clint seems to be the center of trouble at every turn! I wonder how he will be able to get out of it? Congrats to the author on BOTD! :)

Latest Review: You, This Is Me...OVER?! by Clinton Beaudel Dooley

Post by Bigwig1973 »

This seems like an interesting book - the protagonist is like a drug lord Robin Hood, who steals from the addicts to give to the poor!? Yet, he seems to have positive qualities. Your opening sentence states that he has made peace with his own lifestyle choices - it make me think of a line from the song "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock, "...I got an idea, that I wanna share, you don't like it, so what I don't care. I'm number one, the uno..." Not that I think Rob Base is a drug lord, but the quote would be apt except Rob Base is so little and cute! I also like how you ask questions to entice the readers into reading the book. Nice review!

I believe that the author has a similar writing style to William Faulkner who was so notorious for his long sentences that other writers would complain about it. I like that the main character is not completely bad nor completely good, but somewhere in the middle. The bad luck that seems to follow him is a natural progression of his line of work and the irresistible desire for money. The different characters around him and their own sorted motives keep the story well paced.

This title of this book wasn't for me. As I read it got my attention, it started off as I thought was as mystery thriller. I am going to enjoy. Great review

A crime thriller that involves crimes and illegal drugs. The inclusion of a morally gray character makes this all the more interesting.

In this fast-paced thriller, Clint Kennedy sounds like a character one can love and hate at the same time; he is both good and bad. I'm curious; is each book in this series a standalone with an ongoing underline storyline or do they end with a cliffhanger? Great review!

I'm curious to know what Pablo's involvement is with all the murders going around. I like that Clint is a morally grey character. Seeing events play out in his life will definitely be entertaining, if not suspenseful. Thanks for the detailed review!

From happy man to being a blackmailed drug related cartel not knowing what to do with everything going on at once. This book is quite the thriller.

Whoa! Today's BOTD is a fast-paced, action-packed crime thriller that will grab your attention in chapter 1 and keep you there through the last page! The complex characters are realistic, and the storyline will have you on the edge of your seat wondering what happens next. Thank you so much for your review...it was very helpful! :-)

A book that keeps you at a spot while you are reading it and has crime contents in it is a must-read for me. The reviewer did a great job on this book .

Nice review. I don’t usually enjoy drug cartel related books because of their violent themes and immoral characters. However, I might try this one as it seems to focus on the main character and his personal development. I’m interested to see if he changes from his ordeal.
