The theme (Monkeyland): the unifying subject was apocalyptic, which came across very well. The overall pace: Extremely good. I really wanted to get to the next page and find out what would happen next. An excellent pace. V. D.
AL...OH MY GOD MONKEYLAND IS AWESOME!!!!! Halfway done and still sucked into it!!! Great book! Your characterizations are incredible, your metaphors are unique and mental image producing, and the nuances of the plot are captivating. D. K.
I just started reading Monkeyland this morning...and I cannot put it down! This stuff is incredible. It has been a long time since I have been sucked into a book on PAGE ONE!!! D. C.
I read your book! Exciting pace and good action. Interesting premise and I look forward to the rest of the Monkeyland saga. Well done! J. D.
Unbelievable. I stayed up late on work nights, tired the next day because I couldn't put it (The Bomber's Story) down. When do I get to read 'The Lone Star Revolt?' DK
What a delightful surprise it is when you pick up a book and find you can't put it down until the very last page, and Path of the Snake is one of those books. It's been a long time since I have violated my 'no captivating reading material before bed' rule! CM
When I finished Path of the Snake I laughed out loud until I nearly cried, then I was speechless for a good long while. It's been a long time since I've read a book that good! DK
Having read at least a few thousand fiction books and series in my lifetime, I can testify that the Monkeyland series by Al Case is the best fiction series I've ever read. It's got everything. The characters are so well-written and real that it's just incredible. Even with the bit characters, you will find yourself caring and wondering what will happen to them. Al Case does an excellent job of transporting you to the locale and showing you around. The plot is gripping -- and fascinating -- and completely original. Everything from the attitude of the press, to the complacency of government and the reality and depth of people's thought and character, is remarkably true to life.
"The Bomber's Story truly is THE ULTIMATE CONSPIRACY SAGA, as advertised! When I read this, I just couldn't put it down! The ingenious blend of fact, fiction and rumor that is artfully mixed into the story proves to be excellent reading. You might even get interested in the history of some of the real events in here (I certainly did!), but even if you don't, the book has an excellent and engaging plot that will pull you right along from page one to the end. Original and thought-provoking.
Wow! I am reading part 1 of Machina. I never have time to read anymore, just too busy. But, I cannot put this book down! Your characters are believable and interesting and the plot is growing and capturing my attention like no book has in a long time! Can't wait to get a chance to pick up the book again later today! Thanks! Dee
If you could get passed the “raciness” of this book, it’s one helluva read. Extremely well written with an outrageous story with some outrageous characters. Whether good or bad characters – They’re all very likable. Mr. Case puts you right in the middle of the action/scene. He’s written this book so that you’re right in the middle. I’ve found a new favorite author to include with King, Koontz, Patterson, Grishom, Woods, etc………
