Pros: Interesting dialog. Two solid and well defined characters.
Cons: Relationship of John Sutter and his wife seemed contrived.
Summary: I have become a fan of Nelson Demille in the past few years. This one was different than most of his others. My wife who is also a Demille fan didn't like this story while her sister can't say enough about it. It was written in 1990 but continues to hold ... read more

Pros: easy to read

Pros: very good writing, interesting story line
Cons: sad ending, a few part where it gets pretty dry.
Summary: Well, Demille does it again in "The Gold Coast". This was my 3rd book by him, I guarantee it will not be my last. Nelson Demille has a way of captivating the imagination like no author I have ever read before.
The story starts out in ... read more

Pros: satirical sardonic witty historically accurate
Cons: critical confusion should not deter a fresh read
Summary: "The Gold Coast" is more than American social satire, more than the throes of three people simultaneously going through mid-life crisis, and more than, as DeMille put it when selling the concept to his agents, "’The Godfather’ meets ’The ... read more

Pros: A fascinating behind the scenes look at wealth and power....
Cons: You won't be able to do much else once you start reading....
Summary: Okay, faithful readers - I've heard you LOUD and CLEAR. Many of you have been kind enough to take the time to email me about the series of restaurant reviews I've posted over the last few weeks. The missives could probably best be summed up by one ... read more
