Where it all begins,
By Dan Allison "Dan" (Tampa Bay) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Condominium (Mass Market Paperback)
An awesome look at the reality of what they do to the old people here in Florida. MacDonald essentially indicts our entire society. This novel's more relevant today than ever, MacDonald was truly visionary. These characters are real people and they live here in Florida, except for the hero character, Sam Harrison, who might as well have been named Travis McGee. I haven't read all of Johnny Mac, but this might be his best one.

This is a stellar book. PRIME John D. MacDonald,
By Laird Grainger (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Condominium (Mass Market Paperback)
If you like exceptional writing, a fascinating plot, great dialog and a bit of sleaze, this is the book for you. Condominium is a perfect introduction to the incredible talents of John D. MacDonald. Buy it, read it, and be prepared to become addicted to the work of this great American writer.
