more than just a novelization
Jan 21 2011
By Devra Goldberg
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
if you're looking at this book, you're already a fan of the USA show "burn notice." but props have to be given to novelist Tod Goldberg, who takes what could be simple salary-generation and makes something genuinely fun, witty and occasionally laugh-out-loud. as others have mentioned, his first-person narration of Michael Westen is spot-on, but having the opportunity to follow the entire internal narration instead of the voice-over technique employed by the show is priceless and often hysterical.

Review of The Reformed
Jan 12 2011
By Debbie L
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
As a long-time fan of Burn Notice and fan of Tod Goldberg's books, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. As in the previous books, Goldberg expertly captures the tone of Michael Westen and how he speaks on TV - and relays the tone and cadence exactly on paper - which makes for an enjoyable read. Fiona, Sam, and Michael's mom don't disappoint as they enhance the storyline. But the best part by far was chapter 6 - that chapter made the book, and it would make a great mini-series for USA Network to explain the concept of what defines unique characters. If you like action, adventure, humor, and people who do the right thing, you'll definitely enjoy The Reformed by Tod Goldberg. Looking forward to the next book!

Former Gang Member Turned Priest Needs Michael's Services
May 24 2011
By Mark Baker
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Michael Westen does not have found memories of Eduardo Santiago. The two were in high school together, and even then Eduardo was quickly rising in the Latin Emperors. But a stiff prison sentence turned Eduardo's life around, and after being released, he became a priest and devotes his time to helping other ex-cons get their life turned around after prison.
But Father Santiago's past has come back to bite him. The leader of the Latin Emperors want to use Santiago's church as a cover for their operations and is blackmailing Santiago to get him to agree. And so he turns to Michael. But can Michael, Fiona, and Sam come up with a way to free Santiago from his past?
Fans of the show will be delighted with this tie-in novel. Michael, Fi, and Sam are in top form and feel just like their TV selves. I had to laugh several times at their banter and antics. The plot is complex enough to keep you reading from the first page to the last with enough twists and setbacks to be an episode of the show. And for those like me who were bothered by the political asides in the last book, this book doesn't make such obvious political points.
If you are going through withdrawal waiting for the new season to begin, this is the perfect remedy.
