Summary: fascinating, original, full of the unexpected
Review: Players is much more than a simple crime novel. The plot provides plenty of tantalizing twists, no doubt, the action is definitely thrilling, and the events suspenseful. But, it was the undercurrents of the characters' passions and ambitions that really pulled me in.

There are no stereotypically cardboard people in Players. Instead, each is 3-D, true to his or her own personality, with so many surprising quirks and qualities that I had absolutely no choice but to read on.

This intriguing book simmers with criss-crossed communications, as the characters tell fibs, half-truths and semi-lies, even to themselves. I love how the humor in the book arises from the endlessly intriguing topic of the vulnerability of human nature.

I really hated to see the book end; and yet, in one way it doesn't. I still find myself speculating on what might happen to each of the survivors, something I certainly don't do often.

And, trust me . . . a character who survives the traumatic events in Players is truly a survivor

Summary: Brilliant, fast, vivid and bloody.
Review: Where the heck did Clay Reynolds come from? This is one wild high-octane rush of Texas black comedy, betrayal and bloodshed. Tarrantino meets McMurtry. They'll never cram all this headlong action into a feature-length movie, and if they did it would fry you brainless. Read the book.
