Summary: No thanks
Review: AMAZING! That is the word I would use to describe this first time novel. It held me captive from the first word...I sat up all night to find out what was going to happen. I was pleased to see that the main characters faced as many trials, family deaths, etc. as I seem to. And the phrase my parent's taught me in kindergarden came to mind 'Be Sure Your Sins Will Find You Out' certainly came true... One Lie. Again, BRAVO...and PLEASE tell me when the next novel is out!

Summary: Really enjoyed this book
Review: As an aviation trial attorney, I not only enjoyed Reckless Homicide's many twists and turns, but also found it interesting and thought provoking at a time when criminal prosecutions seem to be on the rise in aviation tort cases. Recent examples of such prosecutions involve the ValuJet crash in the Florida Everglades (still ongoing) and the Gondola accident near Cavalese, Italy (the U.S. Marine pilot was acquitted). The real genius of the book, however, involves whom the prosecution actually charges with "reckless homicide." Unlike the cases cited above, it's not the pilot or the airline. I also wonder if Ira Genberg owns a crystal ball. Like the mystery involving the pilot's last words in Reckless Homicide (that is, "the up and down is stewed"), we are now faced with a similar mystery surrounding the co-pilot's last words in the recent Egypt Air crash in the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, I found compelling many of the book's legal arguments, romantic entanglements, and emotional highs and lows. A thrill ride for attorneys and non-attorneys alike, in my opinion Reckless Homicide contains the ingredients for a blockbuster movie.

Summary: Brilliant story!
Review: Fascinating! One of the most gripping stories I have ever read. It combines a classic whodunnit plot with a family drama. It can be a cold and rigid courtroom battle or a moving tale of love and devotion. The story is told in the first person viewpoint and provides an insight into the psyche of a man whose life is torn apart. It has the reader aching for this man, while at the same time wondering whether he is rightly accused! Ethics, the law, technical stuff, family love, tragedy and the pursuit of personal agendas are matters that blend together and create this masterpiece of suspense with feelings... an unusual combination. The hero's turmoil becomes your own as you read this book and stays with you long after you finish it. This book tests the reader, presenting in it intellectual puzzles and ethical challenges. It is truly an amazing story. I'd reccommend it to anyone who likes to read books with exciting plots and also meaning.

Summary: A Lawyer's Worst Nightmare
Review: I've read the prior reviews and just want to say how impressed I was with Ira Genberg's first novel. It was excellent, not at all boring as some have felt, and entirely riviting. The author makes you feel the anguish of the protagonist, Michael, an honest man who yields to temptation in order to come to his brother's aid. What a mess he is in. However, he let's you feel his emotions as to his pride, his disappointment in discovering the abandonment of his perceived friends and colleagues and his confidence in his lover/attorney. I did detect some key 'evidence' rather too early, but it did not in any way hamper my enjoyment of this novel. I expect Mr. Genberg to give us all many more hours of pleasure as we savor his future efforts.

Summary: A Home Run In His First Time At Bat!
Review: In Reckless Homicide, first-time novelist, Ira Genberg, has written a legal thriller that is at least as good as--and possibly better than--the best of Grisham, Turow, J.F. Freedman, et al. The plot never wanes in its excitement, the characters are very interesting and well-developed, the dialog rings true, and surprises pop up throughout the story. Be ready to be glued to your seat once you start this book!

Summary: One of the most boring books I have read.
Review: The first third of this book was very slow to me. After that it was a decent read. I DID NOT LIKE the writing in the "present tense" - I found it very difficult to read. But the plot was intricate and the characters interesting (except for the CEO).I give the author encouragement - a little more experience and he will be able to turn out a thriller with the best of them.
