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.
