5 comments about The Assassination of Rush Limbaugh.

1. I absolutely loved this book I could not put it down. I can see it as a movie and I hope it gets there. I also hope Rush is bright enough to read this. It's a great read.



2. I loved this book and could not put it down...I found myself up at 3:00 in the morning rushing to the next page. The intelligence and compasion the author put into the book was admirable and fantastic at best! I also could see this book as a movie....Sal....James Gandolfini? Isn't it about time for another great Hollywood Goodfellas movie? Great Book!!



3. I was hoodwinked into buying this book by the few reviews posted here, so I'm hoping to offer a little guidance to others who might actually be interested in political-thriller type novels.
   
   This is a truly amateur, sophomoric effort at fiction writing. And whoever the publishing company is, they've apparently cut out the middleman by foregoing an editor. In a 20-page stretch near the beginning of the book I found a half-dozen anachronisms (using facial tissues in 1915, but not invented until 1930; a female Columbia Law grad in 1917, but no woman at Columbia Law until 1927) and malapropisms (Nez Perce glasses instead of pince-nez, a voice quivering instead of quavering).
   
   The characters are cardboard and events follow the most cliched patterns: in the climactic gunfight in the year 2016 the hero and villain each shoot each other in the right shoulder; then as the villain claws across the floor after his gun, Rush Limbaugh dives onto the floor (at age 65!) to grab the gun and to squeeze off a kill shot. Cheesy, cheesy, cheesy.
   
   This is truly bottom-of-the-barrel stuff. Be forewarned.



4. The Assassination of Rush Limbaugh is the story of two immigrant families in search of the American dream. The family from France takes up law, politics, and police work, while the Sicilian family descends into a life of crime. For the better part of a century, the families' courses fatefully intersect and intertwine until, in the climax, the youngest descendant of the French family finds herself in a losing race to prevent the hit man of the organized crime family from shooting America's number one talk radio personality.
   
   Along the way, readers go to artillery training and World War I combat with Harry Truman. They experience Truman's angst for the Presidential decision to use atomic bombs on Japan and they go ashore with American troops invading Sicily in World War II. Readers sit in the courtrooms where three historical trials change the legal face of America. They experience the life of an American Mafiosi from birth through his membership in a violent Brooklyn street gang to his rise to the inner sanctum of a New York crime family.
   
   Readers tune in to the development of talk radio, and the fear it instills in politicians, from its first broadcast at the 1915 San Francisco Worlds Fair to today's round-the-clock diatribes. They sit in on closed-door meetings where that fear gradually leads powerful politicians to plot the murders of the two most popular talk show hosts.
   
   Readers feel the icy fear and terror in the minds of two victims of exotic and deliberate murder by a hit man whose very name means nightmare in Italian.
   
   And finally, readers get to know Jodie Farmer, as she goes from adolescent to college pal of a mafia captain's son to heroic FBI Special Agent. They feel her take a terrorist's bullet while foiling a nearly successful plot to kill tens of thousands in America's northwest. And they're by her side in the climactic gun battle inside Rush Limbaugh's Florida mansion.
   
   I love the book and highly recommend it.



5. It was a great story or rather, several stories expertly woven together by a masterful storyteller. I truly enjoyed it. I find it hard to believe this is a first effort. I look forward to the next book with anticipation.

4 comments about The King of Compton: The Assassination of a Dream-An Autobiography.

1. I happen to be a fan and resident of Compton. Omar Bradley to me, was the best mayor Compton has seen in recent years. Omar was treated unfairly boy persons that wanted to do him harm. I hope with all hope that he is allowed to run again and take back control of the city he loves so much. There are changes being made in Compton right now that he is responsible for, positive changes. Our city has been tarnished too long. Omar was our KING OF COMPTON!



2. After reading this book and witnessing the political career of Mayor Bradley, I concur that boldness to stand on ones convictions and a passion to bring a vision to reality is threatening to this society. This book seeks to outline in real terms, Mayor Bradley's personal calling to bring Compton back from a socio-economic abyss. Unfortunately, the story's end is what happens time and again to Black leaders who choose to take an outspoken stand to correct oppression's strongholds.



3. Omar Bradley brilliantly provides an insightful look at the various conflicts and struggles faced by African American Males in the inner city and the Political Realm. He whole heartedly opens his life up and displays, quite descriptively, the journey of life from birth, to football star, to Political Figure, to prison inmate. He candidly expresses the countless hills and valleys traveled in his lifetime, leaving the reader virtually speechless. His writing style, and description of his life and experiences, allows the reader virtually see first hand, the fabric that binds not only the African American Male in America, but all people in general. When things seemed hopeless, he found hope.
   
   This book, in my opinion, is valuable historically, socially, philosophically, and politically. His life span encompasses some of the most notable Civil Rights Events in the history of our time; The Civil Rights Movement, the Watts Riot, The LA Riot ect.. He traces and pinpoints the event that took Gang Banging between Crips and Bloods from the specified areas of Compton, South Central, and Watts to regions and areas across the country. There are accounts of political scandals, strategic warfare ect.. However; he magnificently exemplifies the power of hope and determination throughout struggles.
   
   Omar Bradley is an individual that has obviously allowed his life to be driven with God's given purpose. He has moved steadfast in a positive direction since his birth and has not detoured from his goal.
   
   We all fall short from perfection, the flesh is weak, but as I read this book, all I could think was, this man truly demonstrates a purpose driven life. It is said that God provides the ones that he feels are capable and are most responsible with the greatest number of tests in life to prepare them for their eternal life. These tests are usually financial. If one can not be trusted with earthly wealth, how can they be expected to manage heavenly wealth?
   
   This book is absolutely invigorating. He is a vivid example of the spirit of encouragement and hope. When Omar meets his maker, and God asks, "What did you do with what I gave you? What did you do with you life--all the gifts, talents, opportunities, energy, relationships, and resources I gave you? Did you spend them on yourself, or did you spend them for the purposes that I made you for? Omar I'm sure will answer, I did as you willed. Not many can answer that assuredly in this day in age. He could have kept quiet and led a comfortable life, but that would have been selfish and self centered.
   
   This book is a wake up call for everyone. "Are you doing everything you were intended on this earth? Are you living a purpose driven life? "If you are, great!!! If you are not, there is still time, as long as you have breath in your body. This man's experiences clearly demonstrate, because we may be down, we are not out.



4. I don't have a problem with the content of the book my problem, and the problem my friend who I purchased a book for, is that every time you turn a page the pages fall out. I have never bought a book where the pages fall out every time you turn the page. I'm frustrated reading it because I have to keep chasing the pages down.

1 comments about The Secret of Sarajevo: The Story of Franz Ferdinand, Sophie and the assassination that led to World War I.

1. "The Secret of Sarajevo: The Story of Franz Ferdinand and Sophie", Hertha Pauli, Collins Press, London, 1966 (HC), 308 pgs., plus 4 pg. Biblio. & 6 pg. Index with 22 B/W photographs, 5 3/4" x 8 1/2".
   
   Pauli's "The Secret of Sarajevo" (SoS) is a beautifully written love story of the Austrian Habsburg Archduke Franz Ferdinand & Bohemian Countess Sophie Chotek, Lady-in-waiting, from their 1st encounter at a ball in Prague in the Fall of 1894 until their assassinations in June 28, 1914 in Sarajevo during a royal visit.
   
   Two helpful lures are imprinted with the confines of the inside covers: the front bears a map of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, showing borders of the German & Russian Empires & the adjacent Kingdoms of Serbia, Italy, Rumania, Montenegro & the Countries of Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Galacia, Bosnia, Bulgaria & Albania. The backcover shows selective genealogy of The Arch-house of the Habsburg-Lorraine. These enticements are extremely helpful as one reads this well-researched story of Austria's Habsburgs, for it revolves around the ruling Emperor (1848-1916) Franz Joseph I, unforgiving uncle of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
   
   The book deals well with the intrigues, aspirations, confidants, castle estates, royal gardens, & protocols governing social, marital & military events. Reference is made to underlying residual blame in Bosnia relating to prior warring events of Turkey & Serbia, but also to the then current aspirations of Germanic, Russian & Austrian Empires. The reader must form his own conclussion about culpability's for the assassinations & the events which followed,-- giving rise to the "Great War", WWI. A most enjoyable book which would make a great movie.
