REVIEW: PHARMACOLOGY by Christopher Herz


Christopher Herz's PHARMACOLOGY Shows Why No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

by Cyrus Webb, President of Conversations Book Club


Continuing with the first-person style that drew readers to his debut novel, author Christopher Herz is back with another literary treat that takes you into a world where nothing is ever as it seems. Our narrator Sarah finds out firsthand that when life happens it can disrupt the most simple of plans. She is looking for a way to make a difference and support herself and help her family, but when she finds out that her father has cancer, life begins to be just about doing all she can to help those who have been there for her.

In the process she becomes a part of a campaign seemingly geared towards advocating a client's product, but Sarah soon finds that it may be doing more harm than good. With the intent of making a difference, she sees a way of trying to warn the public about the potentially dangerous side effects of a drug--and in the process gets swept into a part of the world she is trying to protect people from.

PHARMACOLOGY is also about the rise of another powerful force in our lives: the internet. Sarah gets introduced to it and it becomes both a part of the problem and the solution she hopes to develop. To us she says this: "the internet, whatever it was going to bring, promised to assimilate and dilute the last gasp of rebellion left in the country and consolidate all of the small truck stops and little diners along the back roads of this country into Burger Kinds and Starbucks." In effect, Sarah saw the "convenience" of the internet as many have gotten to view it: as a way to tell us what to think, where to go and what to do.

This is a book that has twists and turns you would expect in a great novel, and by the end we come to realize that just as we believe we are making a difference it becomes revealed to us that our "freedom" was being controlled all along. Let's face it: Herz has done it again, casting a literary spell that has us all enthralled and ready for more.

Discover more about the world of Christopher Herz by visiting www.herzwords. His book PHARMACOLOGY is Conversations Book Club's monthly selection for March 2012. Get yours today at Amazon.com. You can join the live chat with Herz on Conversations LIVE with Cyrus Webb on Sat. March 10th @ 6pm et (5p.m. ct/3p.m. pt) by logging on to www.blogtalkradio.com/conversationslive.

(REVIEW) Sheryl Mallory-Johnson Returns To Her Roots With LOVE & REGRETS


REVIEW BY CYRUS WEBB

For those of us who fell in love with author Sheryl Mallory-Johnson's powerful characters and story lines in SENSE OF LOVE you will be very pleased at her adult follow-up LOVE & REGRETS. We are introduced to men and women who are grappling with what it really means to love, be in love and commit to someone unconditionally. As in SENSE OF LOVE we find this is a novel of equal opportunity offenders who aren't completely satisfied with what they have, but realize that the complications they are bringing into their worlds are sure to destroy them if they aren't careful.

For Carmen, we see that not being satisfied with what she has at home leads her into a situation that threatens not just her home but her life as well. Tempest has to understand that not all relationships will be the fairytale that you read about or dream of and that you have to be willing to look out for yourself and love yourself in spite of everything else. Then there is Dana, a woman who hears the clock ticking on her dreams and what she wants from her man and decides to move forward with her own agenda---only to find that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

In LOVE & REGRETS Johnson takes into the worlds of these individuals who are trying to balance their idea of what romance is, how you stay committed and faithful when tested and more importantly how you love yourself enough to know that you deserve better than just to settle. This is not your typical "chic-lit". It's a book that men and women can read, enjoy and find themselves discussing with family and friends.

Sheryl Mallory-Johnson is back with what she does best: delivering a book that is good to the last page and leaves you definitely wanting more.
