I usually read fantasy and science fiction. Today I met David "Blackie" Steece. He totally hooked me on his three books about his life. Going from gangster to hero, David's life has me wanting to read all his books. I only bought the first one today "Paradox" but I am sure I will want to read and know more. I cannot wait to read this book and share my thoughts with you all.

**** Review****
I don’t know how to review this book. I loved the story or
stories behind the book. Blackie the gangster, cop, and family man all rolled
into one person with a whole lot of messed up. I met David Steece at a book
signing. We had a wonderful conversation about his life and children. He was a
very nice man to talk to. The book paints a very different picture of a man
struggling to raise five daughters, using women as needed, and not sure what
side of the law he wants to be on. I had a hard time following what was going
on in the main story with all of the flashbacks. It took me longer than expected
to read this book because I found myself getting lost. I would have to go back
several pages just to figure out what the main story was. With all that said, I
really did like all the flashbacks. My favorite flashback was about his
daughter and vacuuming the water out of the bathtub. This book was funny,
entertaining, and a good book. I as a mother and a woman had issues with the
treatment of women in this book but what did I expect from a gangster?
