Death with Dignity: The Case for Legalizing Physician-Assisted Dying and Euthanasia, By: Robert Orfali - Book Review

Reviewed by:  Beth Adams, Pacific Book Review  http://pacificbookreview.com/

 

Death With Dignity:  The Case for Legalizing Physician-Assisted Dying and Euthanasia, by Robert Orfali is dedicated to the loving memory of his wife, Jeri Edwards Orfali.  Robert Orfali clearly states his book is not about Jeri, but rather he uses her life and what she went through as an example to interpret the matrix of laws, cultural taboos and…

Thank you for the great review.

Unconditional Loss, By: Orrin Lippoff & Mladen Solar - Book Review

Reviewed by:  Gary Sorkin, Pacific Book Review  http://pacificbookreview.com

 

Unconditional Loss, a novel co-authored by doctors Orrin Lippoff & Mladen Solar, grip the reader and pull them into a fast moving, expertly written story like the harness of a dog team of Huskies pulling a sled across the Alaskan frontier.  In fact, that’s exactly how the novel begins.

As a pandemic spreads throughout the world…

Which One Are You? By: Daniel Hill - Book Review

Reviewed by:  Gary Sorkin, Pacfic Book Review  http://pacificbookreview.com/  

 

Daniel Hill has assembled terse, short stories into a collection of fiction titled, Which One Are You?  His book is an instant drop into a bucket of the dark side of society; filled with gang violence, killings, drug dealers, addicts, dysfunctional families and over all antisocial behavior. What he presented is a reality check, or I’ll call it…

Killing Kate Julie Kramer New Release July 26th 2011

Every genre has its sub-categories, and mysteries are no different. The brilliance of Julie Kramer’s books is they successfully bridge the gap between two of my favorites styles. Keeping it all Minnesota, you have the gritty police procedural that can be quite dark (think John Sandford’s Prey books), and you can also have the light and often humorous cozies (Think Joanne Fluke’s Bakery books). Riley Spartz is an imperfect investigator who seems to blunder through life on a wing and a prayer,…

Impeccant:The Reprisal series by Sam Lang

Trust me I have plenty of skulls’ heads to make covers for this series. Did the eyeball catch your eye on this one? The best part of any of my covers is they invite you to read the content inside, which is really the best part. Sam Lang delivers an amazing second installment to his Reprisal series of digital short stories. His ability to build tension is just amazing. The prose in the story is set at a nice cadence and overall the story just rocks. Each read I get on this series further…

Revelation:Intangible series Cody Toye

I love to see what comes from this author next. Is it sci-fi, YA, kids, horror, I mean you never know what is coming at you from Cody Toye. Revelation is an excellent addition to his young Intangible Series. There is plenty of new stuff to grow his universe. The action is swift and moving; the characters are dynamic and incredibly different. The essence of the story is not the violence but the means of it. What are they gaining? Why? Who benefits? If this is not on your radar, you should get…

Blow Torch Pizza

So we had pizza tonight.  A very good pizza I might add.  Pretty much on par with the best pizza I've had to date in a little restaurant in Minneapolis.  But I'm betting this pizza didn't get cooked quite like that one.



I'm not the cook in the family.  Apparently, I'm not creative enough because I never would have thought of this!  …

Cocooned in Darkness Leona DeRosa Bodie

Many moons ago I wrote a post on “Shadow Cay” by this author. Since then many things have happened to both of us; I think all good. She is having her novel made into a film; I may be in it in name, or perhaps they will find a way to kill me in it. I am not going to reread the post I wrote back in the day, it may be too painful; hopefully my writing has improved since then. You may read it, go ahead and have a chuckle on me. My point is as I have moved forward; she has gone…
