Declan has created a whole new set of demons by getting mixed up with the drug trafficking trade. I enjoyed your description of his dilemma and how his war experiences influenced his behavior. Your review has made me curious about this book!

This was a fabulous review. This book sounds really fascinating and engaging. I love when a book is so good that you forget what your reading isn't even real. This sounds like a great one.
Thanks for the review!

The Juicy Fruit man.
Such an interesting title for an amazing book. Fighting your inner demon I could say is much harder than fighting in a real war. Great review, great book. This definitely should be a good book to read.

Great review! Your review makes the book seem very appealing to read. Declan seems like a very interesting character and his dynamic is one I'm very curious to read about.

Sounds like a solid psychological thriller, and I would like to check this one out :) A war theme can apply not only to the fans of the genre. Thank you very much for a great review!

Good review! Sounds like an action packed thriller. Not only is he fighting his over all surroundings but also his inner demons. I can’t wait to see what happens.

Based on your review, this sounds like a fantastic read! I love when I can get lost in stories and forget that I'm following a fictional account.

Declan is such a character with a mind of his own. He has his own expression. He has his own perception of life and its seemingly unfair, harsh realities. I really want to know how he pays the price. This is a thriller I'd like to read. Generally, I acknowledge the moral lessons and the psychological influence. Great review!

Filled with action, suspense, and realism is the story of a Vietnam veteran in the book "The Juicy Fruit Man" by LaMar Going. The story follows Declan, a Vietnam veteran who aims for financial freedom ignoring that there’s always a price to pay. The story appears quite entertaining to read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.
