Review:  COASTWALK - Frederick Regenold

The story, "Coast Walk" is undoubtedly the best book I have read in many years. Although the story takes place in La Jolla, California where I live, it has nothing to do with my impression of this "undiscovered" author's work. He is, in short, a master at writing. What he has written is a masterpiece. The depth of his vocabulary never ends. He has a multifaceted way of describing the characters, the scenery and the room around you, so that you feel like you are in a movie theater watching an outstanding movie. His description of the places and scenes around La Jolla are very accurate. It made me feel like I just walked out my front door and experienced the main characters right here in my town. He is colorful and continues to give you shocking surprises throughout the book. The author describes the sex scenes in a real-life manner. Wow! He must have a lot of experience. He seems to know what goes on in a woman's mind as well as what a man thinks about. The energy of the composition stays all the way through the story and rises with a perfect peak at the end, which left me in tears. I don't cry in many stories, and this one really grabbed me. What a story! This author should not go to waste. I trust that he is writing another book, and his work should be in all the bookstores. Everyone should experience this writer. He is another Ernest Hemingway in the making.
I am surprised that I could find his book only on the Internet.
