1/2 stars.......2006-02-26
I agree with the reviewer who said the book is pretty good but no Papillon. It is a good solid prisioner / escapee book about life in the South American penal colonies. There were a few parts that really had me interested.
A good Read, but no Papillon........2006-01-04
I found out about this book after reading Papillon by Henri Charriere. I did some research on the web and "Dry guillotine: Fifteen years among the living dead" came up in just about every query on Devil's Island. As a result, I purchased a used copy.
Dry guillotine is a good read for anyone who is interested in the former penal colonies of French Guiana. Like Papillon, it is the story of one man, René Belbenoit and his many escape attempts.
Dry Guillotine gives you more insight into the penal colonies than Papillon, but it lacks the emotional roller-coaster ride, which gave Papillon such fame. It sometimes drifts off in other directions with stories of other convicts that have no impact on the overall story line. Reading, I felt very little emotional attachment to the main character.
As mentioned by Ken, one of the other reviewers, movie buffs will see the strong resemblance to the Movie Papillon.
A good read, but you have to move beyond the introduction, which some other reviewer apparently didn't.
One of the best books I've ever read........2005-02-20
True story. The movie Papillon comes very substantially from this book by Rene' Belbenoit and perhaps even more than Henri Charriere's own book "Papillon"(see movie credits) "Dry Guillotine" is one of the greatest survival and escape stories of all time, about a convict condemned to the penal colony in French Guiana during the 1920's - 1930's. Chapter after chapter of incredibly horrid conditions in which the clothless prisoners were subjected....malaria, incessant mosquitos, starvation, disease, torture, and even leper colonies, all in the will-defeating complete corruption of the guards and the French Penal administration. Out of over 80,000 men that were sentenced to French Guiana, 65,000 (80%) died there. Makes you happy just to be alive. Belbenoit followed it up with "Hell on Trial"(see review).
Dry Guillotine is not a true story, or good fiction........2005-01-03
I read the first 30 pages. This is not a true story. The situations are ludicrous. The prisoner is said to be 90 lbs but can carry the book which is 30 lbs for years. A character is said he met the prisoner in South America and then a year later in the jungle in Central America. How that was arranged is not dealt with. At the meeting in Central America the prisoner states "He wants to go to America. If he was in South America and meets this man in Central America. He must have crossed the Panama Canal. In the 1930's, the canal was considered American property. Why not ask for help there?
There are many more. Meeting in Havard Club on Christmas Day. Using taps of letter location in alphabet to communcate. Very difficult.
The real statistics of the death rate and horrible conditions prisomers at Devil's Island lived and died in are horrible. This book does not do justice to their suffering.
Book Description
hickie Doone is one of the best con men on the planet. After his latest scam as the leader of a phony religious group called the Brothers of Light doesn't pay quite what he expected, he borrows some cash from local mobster Thadeus Trout. When Shickie takes off with the money, he angers not only Trout, but his own conniving wife, Rita Rae Deaver. Trout sends his bumbling son and his buddies to bring in Doone. One of the henchmen 'accidently' leaves him in a deep freezer for too long, turning the con man into a naked mummy. Eager to dispose of his mistake before his easily angered boss finds out, the thug drops Doone into a sink hole where no one will ever find him . . . only someone does. Once word spreads of the discovery, a number of people step up to claim the mummy, including Jimmy Feather, a Native American certain the mummy is that of his ancient ancestor; the Brothers of Light, convinced the remains are the second coming of their leader after his mysterious rapture into heaven; and a senior citizen hitman known as The Hammer. A series of hilarious and unbelievable events occur that allow the one-time shyster to elude his pursuers again and again . . . and perhaps even have the last con of all.

Less Fun than a Barrel of Mummies.......2005-01-11
Corson Hirschfeld's "Freeze Dry" is mildly entertaining, but with all due respect to Publisher's Weekly, Hirschfeld is certainly no Carl Hiaasen or Elmore Leonard. "Freeze Dry" is the implausible story of con man Shickie Doone, spiritual leader of The Brothers of Light, an east-Tennessee religious cult. Doone finds himself on the wrong side of the local mobster/businessman Thadeus Trout, and through the botched ministrations of Trout's ham-fisted son and his sidekicks, Doone ends up a freeze-dried corpse. Secretly dumped down a sinkhole and later discovered, Doone's shriveled corpse is mistaken for the mummy of an ancient Native American. From there, the unfortunate former Mr. Doone becomes the objective of an entire rogues gallery of claimants, from the "Indian" Jimmy Feather, looking for an ancestor, to Doone's cheating wife and her oily Cuban boyfriend, to the "fireflies" - disciples of Doone's "church"- to the curator of the local shoe button hook museum. There are some genuinely funny parts - Plato Scopes, the resident scientist of the button hook museum (third largest collection of button hooks east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio) is the neurotic and lecherous nerd far more interesting than the more standard loser. And Trout's "Bible Alive Museum" - think if Disney did the Old Testament - is clever and unique. But unlike good satire, which succeeds by injecting credible situations with believable characters infused with small and well-timed doses of Keystone cops and caustic humor. Hirschfeld's humor is unbalanced, overpowering the characters and thin plot, feeling forced, over the top and, in a word, just silly. And he also doesn't know when to quit. A hundred fewer pages and a couple fewer thefts of poor Shickie could have added some zip to what becomes, despite its zaniness, a sluggish pace. In short, Hirschfeld may be zany, but so is SpongeBob SquarePants. I'll stick with Hiaasen and Leonard.
Beam Me Up, Shickie.......2004-02-11
A likeable con man named Shickie Doone. His whorish ex-wife with her shellacked beehive hair-do. Her well-dressed, slimy Cuban lover. A Gatlinburg tycoon who makes his millions off fudge, stolen meat and the Bible Alive Museum. His hired hit man, called The Hammer, who punctuates his palsied gun shots with Yiddish expressions. A wanna-be Native American who goes to tanning booths. The Reverend Creely Patch who has God's own ear and translates his lust for the lovely Ginger Rodgers (who wants to be a star) into sacredly sanctioned schemes. Her Firefly cohorts, members of a slickly organized church promising imminent Rapture. And the academic, Plato Scopes, desperate for recognition beyond his position at one of the country's foremost buttonhook museums, south of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi, of course.
What do all these outlandish characters have in common? They are all after the same freeze-dried victim. A case of mistaken identity becomes satirically complicated as the dead body is simultaneously regarded as an ancient mummy, the focus of a politically charged profaned ritual burial, a much needed DNA specimen for money grubbers and proof that heavenly Rapture indeed exists.
Hirschfeld's crisp prose, his attention to detail and knack for dialogue, as well as his capacity for subtlety, save the zany plot-line from becoming too slapstick, but, as the story comes to a climax, it is difficult not to laugh aloud at the comic absurdity of his characters' shenanigans. Perhaps most masterful of all scenes is the one in which complete Chaos breaks loose, against an audio background of God's ordering of the universe in the Genesis creation story.
Freeze Dry is a thoroughly enjoyable adventure for anyone with a sense of humor who appreciates the combination of good writing and intelligent satire within a playful and compelling story. The smile on your face as you finish the last page will bespeak Hirschfeld's skill at pegging the little bit of con man in us all.
Mummy dearest.......2004-01-01
Freeze Dry is a story of illusion, deception, and misidentity. Mummy, mummy, who's got the mummy? Hirschfeld retains his distinctive brand of off the wall humor, shifting venues, strong sense of local color, and engaging cast of misfits. I wondered at first how so many loose ends could ever come together, but, sure enough, he wrapped it up oh-so-neat at the end. Loved especially the choir girl Ginger Rodgers, you-love-her-you-hate-her, Rita Rae (returning from Too High), the conned con-man. Shickie Doone, and the octogenarian hit-man, Maury Finkle. Hirschfeld has been compared to Hiassen, Westlake, and Leonard but his style is as different from theirs as they are from one another. If you like off-beat and a good laugh, give Freeze Dry a tumble. And here's a bonus: beneath Hirschfeld's humor lie some delicious ironies and clever social commentary.
Best yet.......2003-10-27
I stumbled on Hirschfeld's first book, "Aloha Mr.Lucky," and quickly realized I was reading something a little more rare, slightly more challenging and tasty than the Westlake/Leonard diet I'd been on, while being every bit as funny.
Naturally, I read the second book, "Too High." Once again he hit the mark with his quirky characters and clever plot.
Now there's "Freeze Dry," and I think it's his best yet. However, I'm sorry to admit in public that it's taken all three books for me to figure out what Hischfeld's doing that the others who write in this genre can't.
Back at book number one, I noticed how quickly he could put me in a scene, a location. He was getting me there in a sentence or two, when it might take other writers paragraphs. Suddenly I figured out how he does that. He's a professional photographer. He sees things differently than you and I do. That aspect of his writing, alone, has made each book a terrific journey . "Freeze Dry" is loaded with wonderful examples of colorful scene-setting that are great mental backdrops for this book's nutso characters and wacko plot.
I hope there's a fourth book in the works. Because wherever it goes, I'm going, too.
Another winner........2003-10-25
Clever plot, diverse (in the widest sense of the word) and engaging characters, plus plenty of laughs. The editorial reviews give a sense of the story, so no need to reveal more except that it's full of surprises. The return of Rita Rae and Orlando from Too High are reason enough to read Freeze Dry. Hirschfeld has Vegas nailed and if you've ever been to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, you'll love this. While his previous novels, Aloha, Mr. Lucky, and Too High were of the murder/suspense/adventure genre, Freeze Dry is more of a caper--a caper gone wild. The story is more like a Donald Westlake or Elmore Leonard novel. Should make a heck of a movie!
Book Description
(AUTHOR PHOTO ON BACK COVER)YOU NEVER MISS YOUR WATER-TILL YOUR TIME RUNS OUT.... For Em Hansen, things couldn't be better professionally and personally. She's got a full-time gig with the Utah Geological Survey; she's the go-to forensic geologist for state law enforcement-and a long-simmering acquaintance with a handsome pilot is turning into more than friendship. But when she's called in to investigate how a massive quarry wall collapsed, she's shocked to discover that the viciously-mutilated body that was trapped beneath belongs to none other than Em's old colleague, Afton McWain, an oil tycoon-turned-controversial geological consultant. It doesn't take much digging for Em to uncover a deluge of motives for Afton's murder-from his scandalous "three's company" private life....to his one-man investigation into a mysterious water shortage and a billion-dollar real-estate fraud. And with adversaries as treacherous as a sudden canyon flood, Em also must employ her cutting-edge skills to explore the dark territory of the heart, where love and loyalty are the most deadly mirages of all...."Compelling."Dallas Morning News"Another engaging chapter in a rock-solid series."Booklist
Customer Reviews:
Disappointed.......2007-08-27
I was very disappointed in the book (and this series). I thought I had found a new author to read but it turns out these are just romance novels dressed up as "mysteries". Romance readers should like them.
Disappointing.......2006-05-16
Really deserves a 2.5, but there's no rating for that, so I rounded up. This one was better than the frighteningly dreadful "Killer Dust" and the almost-but-not-quite-as-bad "Earth Colors". As a practicing hydrogeologist, I found the plot somewhat implausible and the science somewhat "fluffy". Like another reviewer, I also wondered why a homicide detective would drag Em along into the investigation-I also question whether or not Utah (or any other state) has a "state forensic geologist". And if they did, it would probably be someone with better qualifications than an entry level geologist with only a master's degree.
Aside from these points, the book was OK, although the characters seemed one dimensional and the plot pretty weak. Oh, and the storyline involving the ex-fiancee Ray, was very strange and didn't really seem to contribute to the plot (or anything else.
Andrews back to old form.......2006-01-12
In this new Em Hansen mystery, Sarah Andrews manages to recapture the charm of the earlier books in the series, and gotten past the dreadful Killer Dust. Hansen finally has a full-time job, working for the Utah Geological Survey, which adds some plausibility to her consulting work with Utah law enforcement. She is brought in when a body is found crushed at a gravel quarry, which leads Hansen and a female detective to Colorado, where a plot involving real estate development and dry wells ensues. It's still not clear why the police would want Hansen to be so intimately involved in a murder investigation, and interestingly another forensic geologist appears in this novel who does some geology that is more crucial to the investigation than anything that Hansen does. Her ex-fiancee, Ray, is back in a rather srange sub-plot. Nonetheless, the book is entertaining and does supply insights into groundwater geology. The scientifically interested reader should not put too much stock in Andrews' misleading discussion of thunderstorms, however.
Another wonderful read from the Em Hansen series!.......2005-12-06
Forensic geologist Em Hansen is living in Salt Lake City, Utah, and working for the Utah Geological Survey when she is called in to help with a murder. A body has been found buried in a gravel pit and a wall of gravel has fallen on it.
Unfortunately, Em recognizes a tattoo on the body (not much else is recognizable) and it is someone she knows: a well-known geologist from Colorado, Afton McWain. Em knew both Afton and his geologist wife, Julia.
Michelle Aldrich, the sheriff's deputy in charge of the case, asks for her help in notifying McWain's now ex-wife in Denver. Em flies to Denver with her pilot friend Fritz Calder, and then becomes enmeshed in the investigation.
McWain owned a ranch in the Castle Rock/Sedalia area south west of Denver, and was involved in helping some anti-development people in the area stop more houses and golf courses being built. One of the possible developments was the ranch right next to his, and they needed McWain's ranch for an easement.
McWain had been an expert and made a lot of money in oil exploration. He was retired, but interested in ground-water research. Wells for both homes and ranches in the area were drying up; the water table was getting lower and lower, and the finite water resources were being used up at a prodigious rate. There are many possible suspects in McWain's death: an attorney, a developer, a banker, and Gilda, the strange woman he had lived with on the ranch since he divorced Julia.
Andrews is known for her fascinating explanations of geology, and this book does not disappoint. Her description of the area around Denver and the water problems the area faces is riveting. She is a professional geologist and a licensed pilot, in addition to being an award-winning author.
My favorite earlier titles are Earth Colors, about pigment analysis of a Frederick Remington painting; and Fault Lines, a story of a possible murder during an earthquake.
Armchair Interviews says: This is the tenth Em Hansen mystery and will again thrill her fans.
terrific who-done-it .......2005-11-30
First her neighbor Fritz Calder comes to get forensic geologist Em Hansen to accompany him for breakfast when Salt Lake City Police Detective Thomas "Ray" Raymond arrives to have Em look at a nearby corpse. Though the victim is buried under gravel from a collapsed quarry wall with only a leg is sticking out. Everyone of the workers has been accounted for so no one knows who the victim could be and why he was there.
Though the fingerprints are gone and his visage battered beyond recognition, Em recognizes a tattoo that enables her to identify the deceased as Colorado staunch environmentalist Afton McWain. Fritz flies her to Colorado to inform McWain's former spouse and her current female partner, who both deem they earned his ranch while development vultures circle the battling females coveting McWain's land. All the while Em digs into the dirt to find that trace of evidence that ties a Colorado killer to a Utah homicide.
The tenth Em Hansen, Utah's only forensic geologist, is a terrific who-done-it that keeps the audience following the heroine's delightful scientific explanations of the clues she finds that no one else understands. Her "romance" with Fritz still sputters, but that adds to the overall fun of observing this consummate professional in the field struggle with affairs of the heart. Though some sidebars are unneeded cul-de sacs, fans will appreciate Em's latest digging in the dirt gem.

Book Description
This invaluable work will contribute much to the battle against our number one disease."
--from the Foreword by George McGovern, former senator and author of
Terry: My Daughter's Life-and-Death Struggle with Alcoholism
Alcoholism is a disease. It's time we started treating it like one.
Science has offered undisputed proof that alcoholism is a disease rather than a weakness of character, yet millions of alcoholics continue to suffer due to inappropriate treatment. Now the co-author of the modern classic
Under the Influence has teamed up with prominent alcoholism experts to provide new answers to this national epidemic.
Based on the latest scientific research,
Beyond the Influence clearly explains the neurological nature of the disease and reveals why some people drink addictively and others do not. It also spells out what needs to be done to treat alcoholism, including:
Steps to take for an intervention
How to find the right treatment program
Which psychological approaches work best
Why spirituality is essential to recovery
New insights into relapse prevention
What you should know about diet, exercise, and nontraditional treatments such as acupuncture
Provocative and eye-opening, compelling and compassionate,
Beyond the Influence is not only a message of hope for alcoholics--it is a blueprint for saving lives.
BEYOND THE INFLUENCE explains that alcoholism is a disease of the body, not a weakness of character. Drawing on the latest scientific studies, the authors present new research on the central role of genetics and neurotransmitters in addiction. Continuing where the prior book left off, it also includes:
Steps for diagnosis and intervention, plus ways to prevent relapses
Various treatment models, including inpatient and out-patient programs and a review of new drug treatments
The most effective types of psychological counseling
The critical role of nutrition
Non-traditional healing methods for recovery
The importance of a spiritual component to recovery
The authors also critique our nation's alcoholism policies, including education and prevention programs, efforts to curtail college bingeing and underage drinking, and the advertising and marketing strategies of the alcohol industry. -->
Customer Reviews:
Beyond the Influence is not a sequel to Under the Influence.......2007-10-03
In Under The Influence Dr. Milam clearly outlines the physiological causes of alcoholism, the progressive nature of the disease, and the solution.
The authors of Beyond the Influence have done a great disservice to anyone struggling with this disease by taking the valid evidence from Under The Influence and tossing in erroneous "causes" of alcoholism. This mishmash of ideas only serves to throw the struggling alcoholic back into the confusion that makes successful recovery nearly impossible.
The brilliance of Under The Influence is this: When the alcoholic understands the true nature of the disease, all the guilt and remorse resulting from the life led "Under The Influence" vanishes. Without the weight of this guilt and remorse recovery is easily attainable. The alcoholic understands that they did not cause their disease any more than they caused their hair color. If only the rest of society would catch up with what Dr. Milam wrote in 1981.
The authors of Beyond the Influence say:
"Alcoholism is caused by biochemical/neurophysiological abnormalities that are passed down from one generation to the next or, in some cases, acquired through heavy or prolonged drinking."
and:
"Over a period of several years and sometimes decades, the social drinker is irreversibly transformed into an alcoholic."
The guilt is back. They are saying the alcoholic caused the disease. This Is A Lie. This lie has killed countless alcoholics and will continue to do so aided by Beyond the Influence.
We live in a culture that has been overcome by the concept of "Fair and Balanced." That in order to discern the truth both sides of an issue must be presented. It is not Fair and Balanced to mix lies in with the truth. The truth stands alone.
It was not necessary to "update" Under The Influence. It is important for anyone concerned about the devastating impact of alcoholism to read Under The Influence. The authors of this "sequel" should have re-read it.
A must read.......2007-08-15
This is an awesome book for anyone who wants to really understand the disease of alcoholism. As a recovering alcoholic it helped me through a difficult time. It also helped my family members understand what I was going through. It explains what is going on chemically inside the brain of an alcoholic. It addresses many of the issues we go through. I even bought one for my doctor.
back to school.......2007-08-01
I was so impressed with the service and the quality of my purchase that I will come here first for all my college books. I am so grateful to have found a place where it is easy and priced right to find my textbooks without any hassle. Thanks Amazon
AA Bait.......2006-05-23
If you are seeking alternatives to Alcoholics Anonymous, this book is useless to you & a waste of your money. It is nothing but 12-step promotion under pseudoscientific guise. The research is sloppy (the average American consumes 156 pounds of sugar per year [p. 222] is only off by 100 pounds or so, the story on p. 259 about the United flight forgets the fact that the guy had a digestive virus, & p. 288 misspells the name of the Northrop Corporation [now Northrop Grumman]).
Save your money & buy something else. This is just expensive propaganda that is no new information to a Twelve-Stepper & no alternative to those looking outside AA.
Excellent overall coverage of the disease.......2006-03-01
I thought this book provided the reader with an excellent range of coverage and understanding of the disease. Particularly interesting was the genetic link and the proof that there are different chemical reactions in the brain in those predisposed to alcohalism. However, just because there may be a genetic link to the disease, the authors in no way gave any excuses to the victim. Instead, they offered research on a range of options for treatment focusing mainly on the most successful, the 12 step program. This book would be helpful to anyone who suspects they have the disease or knows someone who may have the disease.

A culinary collection of savory hamburger recipes .......2005-01-06
There's so much more to a hamburger than will ever be encountered at a McDonald's or a Wendy's or a Burger King.

There are even "kitchen friendly" recipes for superbly crafted non-meat burgers!

A burger for every taste.......2004-11-28
If you are even an occasional consumer of hamburgers, then Great Burgers will become your kitchen bible. Why settle for fast food burgers when you can make your own delights at home?
Sloan's book is divided into four, easy-to-use categories: Classic Burgers, Adventurous Burgers, Lighter Burgers, and Side Dishes. And there is something for everyone.
Surprisingly, despite the title, not all recipes are for burgers made of beef. There are a number of recipes for burgers made with tuna, lobster, chicken, and portabello mushrooms among other ingredients, and all sound absolutely delicious.
In addition to listing basic ingredients, Sloan also gives a list of basic condiments in the opening of the book, and explains why each one is perfect for burgers, and he also discusses the various methods of preparing each type of burger.
Whether it's the basic bacon cheeseburger you crave, or a more adventurous burger like his recipe for a Thai Veal burger, you'll find this book will also trigger your own ideas for variations on the norm.
The side dish recipes include Rosemary Roasted Potatoes, the classic French Fry, delicious garlic mashed potatoes, and even an authentic New York Egg Cream.
If you're looking to inject a little change into what you normally think of as a burger, then Great Burgers will help you reflavor your taste.
Not too original.......2004-05-08
There are a whole bunch of burger cookbooks out this spring and I bought three. This one came in third; pictures were kind of bland, and recipes seemed vaguely familiar. Nothing too original here. The others had ideas that I never would have thought of. Burgers Every Way and The Great Big Burger Book are better collections of new ways to make burgers.
