Readers Speak
"It's really strange how reading a book
can affect a person. I wish I hadn't finished it as fast as I did, because
now it's a big let down because even though I have other books to read, when
you read such a good one as this, it's hard to imagine anything better!"

"I am an avid reader of all types of material and
have read well over 1000 books in my lifetime of 56 years. I must admit that
I have never and I mean never read such a compelling couple of novels in my
life. Both were very different and both were extremely entertaining and
gripping. I must admit that False Accusations had me fooled right until the
very last line and that is very unusual as I usually figure it out about
halfway through. The Hunted was very different but was extremely exciting
and overwhelmingly convincing. I congratulate you on both books and their
success. I await with bated breath your next adventure. What is its name so
that I don't miss it. -L.F.
"I rarely write to authors, but your two books have me so wired that I had
to tell you how much I enjoyed them. I am an avid Thriller/Mystery reader
and always on the lookout for "new to me" authors. What a find when I
discovered you! As a chat room host on AOL in "Bookaccino" we share books
and authors that we enjoy. Your name has been on my fingers as of late and
several others I know have enjoyed your books as much as I did." -M.H.
"I am an avid reader and I want to commend you for
being the BEST of the BEST and I read at least three novels a week. False
Accusations was great and The Hunted is even better...I have sent your
hardback editions to all of my family and friends as a Valentine Gift.....My
daughter is as hooked on you as I am..."
-R.P.
"OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just finished the book,
and I wanted to say how very much I enjoyed it. I am an avid mystery reader
and this novel is excellent. The ending was COMPLETELY unexpected. I
anxiously await your next work."
-K.S.
"I
loved reading both of your books. I was sitting at the edge of my seat
through each page, with all of the twists and turns!!! Fabulous. I can't
wait till your next book comes out. Is it in progress and if so when do you
anticipate it in the bookstores?" -N.M.
"'The Hunted'...was absolutely wonderful. Amazing how one can lose so much
sleep over a book. Well, I do and don't mind it all. I am looking forward to
your next book, soon, I hope?"
-C.C.
"Well you did it again! I read The Hunted and
WOW it was SO Good! just like False Accusations I couldn't believe the
ending! It took me 6 hours to read I couldn't put it down I HAD to finish it
and just like FA I was blown away by the ending, you are good at that!
...now that I have read The Hunted I am so waiting for you to finish another
book....speaking of which...when will you be finished writing another book?
Could you write faster? keep me on your 'mailing list'. I want to know when
your next novel hits the shelves." -B.
"I wanted to
send a note of appreciation regarding your two thrillers, FALSE ACCUSATIONS
and THE HUNTED. I enjoyed both for their compelling prose, thoughtful
research, riveting suspense, and vivid characters with powerful
psychological conflicts....As a psychologist and a writer, let me also say
how much I admire your determination to get published... I canąt wait to
read your next novel." -B.K.
"One
question when will you be releasing your next book?????????????????? I
received the hunted for Xmas and have read it twice already. it is absolutely
fabulous as good as if not better than false accusations which i thought you
could never better. I reread false accusations before i read the hunted to
refresh my memory about your writing style and raved about it so much that
my husband had to read it as well (he is a strictly sci-fi reader) and then
he couldn't put it down and kept stealing my book to start reading it as
well. so now you have two devoted Aussie fans. I had to pinch my book back
so many times that when you release your next book (which i hope will be
very very soon) I will buy him his own copy so that should get your
publisher happy." -K.V.D.
"My
co-worker and I have read False Accusations and Hunted and are anxiously
awaiting a new book. Any news. We check your website weekly... Please let us
know an approximate date or even excerpts... Have to tell you, we both loved
the two books. I reread False Accusations and just finished Hunted and will
reread again in about 6 months. Thanks for the enjoyment you provided." -K.N.
"The Hunted was
well worth waiting for, but sadly.... I finished it this morning. You have a
great style of writing and your ideas are fantastic. I tried to read only a
chapter at a time to stretch it out, but I didn't succeed...please keep
writing!"-P.H.
"I've just finished reading The
Hunted. I purchased it yesterday and finished it this morning. Needless to
say I couldn't put it down. What a pleasure to find a good spine tingling,
keep you guessing, page turner like this.... I do love a good mystery and am
usually very good at figuring the end out. This one, however, kept me
guessing right up to the last minute. Thanks again and now I'm off to the
library for "False Accusations". Bless your little pea-pickin heart!" -S.R.
"My husband picked up your book while he was on the road and enjoyed it so
much that he tried to convince our 15 year old son (who only reads what he
needs to for school) to give it a try. I watched him being absorbed in your
story. It made my heart feel so good to see him reading for pleasure instead
of just fulfilling an assignment. I would hear him saying, "OH Man!" and I'd
ask him about it and all he'd say is "Mom you gotta read this book!" I am an
avid reader so as soon as I finished the one I was reading, I started yours.
Now I'm going to get False Accusations and read that also. Then I'll pass it
on to the men to read. This was the first time our family all read and
enjoyed and discussed a book and I just wanted to let you know!" -R.E.
"I just finished reading your book last night -
completely overwhelmed by the speed and excitement right up to the last
page! You are indeed a very gifted writer. I'm a woman living in Bergen,
Norway...And I love reading. But this is the first time I've ever contacted
the writer...I'm a quite shy person, so that I'm writing this is an even
bigger compliment to you. I look forward to your next book, but in the
meantime I will get a copy of "False Accusations" which I haven't read. I
can't wait!" -S.S.
"Reallllllly enjoyed both your previous novels and am
hungry for more... when is the next one due out whats it called and whats it
about...a loyal fan," -M.W.
"Loved the book - kept me guessing right up to the end. But it does make
me a "little scared" by our government." -S.R.
"The Hunted was excellent. Your books have so many
twists and turns - they're great reading! I am so looking forward to your
next book. What is the name of it and when will it be out? -K.N.
"The Hunted has been the first book you have written I have read. As It was
intended to be a thriller, combined with the fact it only took me three days
to read, is my way of saying mission accomplished. Shortly you will be
receiving a bill in the mail for sleep it cost me." -R.P.
"I read all the time, and it's so exciting
for me to find a new author and one that writes as well as you. I just
finished the hunted and it was by far one of the best books I've read in a
long time"... -E.W.
"I'm suffering from Alan Jacobson withdrawal symptoms...we are waiting in
Sydney Australia for The Hunted to appear in our bookstores..please tell me
it wont be too much longer !!!!" -C.E.S.
"After reading Alan Jacobson's first book
FALSE ACCUSATIONS, I eagerly awaited his second novel. His first book was
great, but THE HUNTED is truly a page turner......I couldn't put it down. If
like me, suspense and mystery is your genre, then this book is a
MUST.......it is truly a Fantastic Read!!!!!!!"
-H.G.
"After reading the first four or five
pages, I knew I was in for a long night of fast-paced page churning. The
characters are so real that they could be your friends, co-workers or
next-door neighbors...which makes what happens to them in "The Hunted" even
more frightening and sobering. The plot is timely, believable,
well-considered and chock full of those signature Jacobson clever plot
twists. Alan Jacobson truly outdoes himself with The Hunted. This is a
must-read book!" -H.J.
"I'm waiting, waiting, waiting,
for The Hunted to arrive in bookstores in Sydney, Australia ... please tell
me its going to be soon....I was totally absorbed into False Accusations and
figure I have waited long enough for my next dose of Alan Jacobson...I'm now
suffering withdrawal symptoms." -C.S.
"I read The Hunted in galleys last year, and loved it.
Interesting characters, great twists...This book would make a kick ass
movie...Hope you're able to make that deal." -D.C.
"I just finished reading The Hunted, and I loved
it! I could not put it down - it was so fast moving. The surprises were
wonderful, and I can hardly wait to read your first book and any others that
you write. Thanks - even though you kept me up an extra hour last night." -M.O.
"I've just finished reading The Hunted and found it
every bit as awesome as False Accusations. Reading it was like attending a
masquerade party, not really knowing anyone's true identity until the
party's over." -F.C.
"So glad my family is understanding. How about warning me in advance when I
go to read your next novel that I won't even take time out to cook
dinner...."life" is so boring after reading your works of art that the
mundane "real" world of reading other novels just doesn't appeal....!" -C.S.
"The Hunted was one of the best books I have read in a
very long time. Keep up the excellent work." -J.H.G.
"Sat on the
beach under a palm tree RIVETED to The Hunted. Great read. I couldn't put it
down and stayed up to 3AM to finish!.....Congratulations!" -M.K.
"I purchased both of your books...WOW - I consumed them in less than a week.
They were great and I have recommended them to a ton of friends. Keep them
coming - I'm looking forward to the next one." -K.S.
"What twists and turns that book took those last
chapters.... Fun, edge of seat book. All that Lauren went through.....it was
like being there...well written. ...I'm a Patterson, Sanford, Kellerman,
Higgins reader, big time. And of course... you too, now. Will get your next
book for sure....." -M.K.
"I
just finished "The Hunted" in one day and it was the best book that I had
read in a long time. I have a large collection of books like Steven King and
Dean Koontz and I must say that your book was just as good or a whole lot
better then some of theirs. I just wanted to say Thank you and I really
enjoyed it A LOT!!" -G.G.
"...Really good fiction...Your
publications rank right up there with the greats! Keep up the good work." -HLW
"Love your books.
Can't wait for next one. Have read both current ones and they are terrific."
-S.B.
"You will never know what your novel has
meant to me...........my Mom was real sick and I went to...be with her and
read her the last novel...and she really enjoyed it. She passed away...(a
few hours later). God Bless..." -R.P.
"When I read a good book, I always thought
it would be great to let the author know I enjoyed it. I read "False
Accusations" and thought it was great but your book "Hunted" was fabulous
and ruined a good night's sleep as I finished it at 2 A.M. Keep up the
good work. When is your next book due?" -J.H.
"I just finished reading 'False
Accusations.' Absolutely fantastic to say the least.... The Hunted...was
great and I expected as much. Such a turmoil of twists and turns had me on
edge right up to the end. " -C.C.
"Thank you for
writing these wonderful books. I can't wait for the next one." - J.J.
"I just finished your book The Hunted. As I was reading along I thought to
myself - gee I think I got it - (where it was headed) then I would read on -
and then it went off in a little bit of a different direction....For the
past two days I have been literally spellbound by this book, that two nights
in a row my hubby had to wait for his dinner... It is the type of book that
really allows me to just get into it - and take all my stress of the week
away...you truly have a winner on your hands..." -J.
"Stumbled on 'he Hunted' at the library...rippin' good read...will now have
to scrounge up 'false accusations'. Keep up the good work...I read about 3
to 5 books a month of your genre...some of them aren't worth opening the
cover...Again, bravo." -D.S.
"I have just read your
book The Hunted. It was one of the best books I have read. I read in
norwegian because I live in Norway. I am a book "lover". I read one or two
books a week.... I am waiting for your other book "False Accusations". I
don't know if any other books are translated into norwegian. I look
forward to your next book. You are the best psychological suspense writer
I have ever read. The very best." -L.S.
"I have never written a
fan letter before, so please bear with me. I really love your books, when
i am done with one I want to start it over again. Thank you for them. A
true and devoted fan." -G.M.
"All I can say is "WOW". The last page tells it all! Looking forward
to your next two novels." -N.M.
"i
have read both of your books and could not put either one down. i would
read one page and then put it down so it wouldnt go so fast. that is why i
was wondering when another one would be out..." R.P.
"All I can say is "WOW". The last page tells it all! Looking
forward to your next two novels." -N.M.
"...You are a great author. Please write more!" -P.F.
"Just finished reading your book (The Hunted) and I was up all night reading
it as I could not put it down. I loved it and hope you will continue to
write books and I will add you to my list of favorite Authors." -S.G.
"I work full time & have a family to take care of. But
(The Hunted) is one of the most "can't put down books" I've read in a very
long time. please keep it coming!!!" -B.

False Accusations...
"I haven't
stayed up all night to read a book IN A VERY LONG TIME. I so enjoyed False
Accusations. Your writing gripped me from the outset, and, a little thing,
but I read so many books, the language was great and no spelling errors!!
How unusual......I can't wait for The Hunted to come out. Thanks again for a
great read!!" -W.G.
"Only a fellow New Yorker could keep
my eyes glued to that book (giving up opportunities like sex, bathroom
visits and general hygiene, and especially snacks) just to get to the trial
section of your book....I should have torn the last page out...so I could
have continued my simple life......really...it's a great book...a hint of
Hitchcock and if Rod Sterling was alive...he would run it on TV.....I
enjoyed it and look ahead to reading more of your works." -T.D.
"Just this minute finished the book. WOW- what an ending!
The entire book was a fantastic read, and I can now hardly wait for the new
one "The Hunted". You are a very talented writer, and I am a very avid
reader- so keep them coming!!!!" -P.L.
"Excellent...Good solid mysteries
that rank up there with the "masters". Keep up the good work!" -P.H.
"They say every cloud has a silver lining. I strained my
back and was forced to lie still for 2 days. I spent them reading False
Accusations and they were the best 2 days in a long while. I really thought
it was a cleverly written novel. I previously read The Hunted last week and
immediately sought out your first book...I hope you keep writing more as I
am sure you have thousands of new readers hooked on your stories. I already
have passed your name on to 3 doctors who would enjoy reading your well
woven plot. Congratulations on all the success you are sure to acquire." -P.R.
"I finished reading one of the best
books I have had the privilege of reading in quite some time. False
Accusations was just terrific and WHAT AN ENDING!! I hope to see your name
on books for quite a long time. Thanks for making the weekend special... Am
so looking forward to The Hunted. I might even have to splurge and buy it in
hardback (which I don't do very often -- it will be you and John Grisham)" -P.J.
"I have just finished reading your book False Accusations.
No housework was done, the study got put aside and the book didn't get put
down. It was a brilliant story. You really had me fooled. Keep on writing!" -T.H.
"Just finished reading your novel
"False Accusations" and I would like to thank you for making me lose a good
nights sleep, as I couldn't put this book down. I found it very entertaining
and so very well written. Now my mouth is watering anxiously awaiting your
next novel THE HUNTED."
-P.P.
"I just finished your novel, False Accusations, and wanted
to write to let you know how much I enjoyed the twist at the
end. Outstanding job! I look forward to reading The Hunted when it is
published!" -J.B.
"I just finished reading 'False
Accusations' and I have to say this is one of the best books I have ever had
the pleasure of reading. I usually am able to figure it all out before I
reach the end, but you had me (going) to the last page! Excellent work, I
look forward to reading 'The Hunted' and hope it won't be long until a new
book is released." -K.
"I finished your book False Accusations about two weeks ago. It was
absolutely incredible. I Loved it!!! I work in a library, but I also work at
a bookstore. My girlfriend picked up your book and it stayed on her shelf
for almost an entire year. I was stranded alone at her house one day without
my current book. Since I always have to be reading I saw your book and
started reading it! I could not put it down! It took me 6 days to read which
is my personal best. My girlfriend is now hooked on it and she wanted me to
ask you when your new book is due out. I have been trying to spread the word
about your book. I am a huge mystery fan... Thank you again for a Wonderful
book!!!" -T.G.
"False Accusations was a wonderful
book. One of the best I have read in a long time. I have recommended it to
several friends."
-T.E.
"I've just finished reading your book "False
Accusations" and wanted to write to you to express my pleasure in it. I'm
quite amazed that it took me to the very last page (page 401), and to the
penultimate paragraph on that last page, before I realised who the killer
really was (although I'd had my suspicious early on). What a tribute to
your writing ability. I will be looking for your novel The Hunted at our
local library on Saturday and look forward to reading it. Very many thanks
for the hours of pleasure you brought." -A.S. (Scotland)
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. I
have not read such a good book in a long time. I could not put it down and
to say I am in shock is an understatement!!! I anxiously await your next
book. Just gave your book to my mother and I will share with everyone I
know. She has other books, but I told her she had to read this one first.
However, she has a tendency to read the last chapter first... I told her in
no uncertain terms that she is to read the last chapter. I told her I would
never talk to her again, because that would ruin the whole story! It's
really strange how reading a book can affect a person. I wish I hadn't
finished it as fast as I did, because now it's a big let down because even
though I have other books to read, when you read such a good one as this
it's hard to imagine anything better! Anxiously awaiting your new book.
Until then, thank you for the wonderful book. I will find a chat room
somewhere to tell everyone how great this book was." -T.C.
"I just finished reading False Accusations. It was
wonderful. (very entertaining!) I could not put it down. Thank you so much.
I look forward to reading The Hunted." -T.J.
"I just finished False Accusations
and it will take some amount of time for me to get all of the particles of
my brain off of the walls. It was terrific!! I am anxiously awaiting The
Hunted and can be counted as one of your fans." -S.B.
"I just wanted to let you know i absolutely loved your
book!!! I am an avid reader and your novel was right up my alley!!! I love
mystery and true crime (they can have the Harlequins!) I love a book that
grabs you from the first page and won't let you go until the last and "False
Accusations" certainly did just that!!! I can't wait for The Hunted to be
released!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!" -K.S.
"I just got done with your book, and it
was great. I can hardly wait until the next one is out... As a lawyer, I
found your take on the injustice of our legal system to be very correct."
-S.S.
"I just want to tell you how much I enjoyed your book,
'False Accusations.' It was so well done! Very readable, and I could hardly
put it down. What a great plot! Everything flowed reasonably from one step
to another. You're a great storyteller." -S.P.
"I have just this minute finished
reading your book, False Accusations. It was given to me a week ago by our
camp doctor... I am working with my husband in a remote valley in China (in
Shaanxi province). He manages a gold mine - I teach the workers English,
which is my minor. Our doctor on site...gave False Accusations to me as a
present - thought I would really enjoy it - he had the same reaction as me -
he kept going back and reading the last line again and again - and he is
from Manilla, in the Philipines! I just wanted to say thank you for your
book, False Accusations. I feel sad that I have finished it - I do so enjoy
reading, especially when I get hold of a good story!" -R.D.
"I work in a library and read probably more than I should.
I just finished reading False Accusations. I found the book thoroughly
engrossing and was dismayed to find that there were no other titles by Alan
Jacobson. Without sounding like a total nut....KEEP WRITING!!!!! You won't
be able to write them fast enough for me. I have already recommended it to a
dozen people and two have completed it. They loved it too. Thank you for the
great story." -S.B.
"It is a crackling tale, well told.
i am curious to know what is in 'the hunted', and when is going to hit the
bookstores? Here's wishing you a crackling career in thriller writing." -S.M.
"I just finished reading 'False Accusations' and felt
compelled to email and congratulate you on a job well done! I'm a busy
CEO...and reading is one of the few things I always make the time for.
Unfortunately, after having read many thousand books in my life, it's
becoming more and more difficult to find a writer whose work really captures
my attention. I'm looking forward to reading your future work!" -S.T.
"I am not in the practice of
critiquing a novel, as I've never written one! However, I do read a
tremendous amount...and have for many years!...I thoroughly enjoyed your
novel and look forward to your next one. The twists and turns were exciting."
-S.A.
"You are one of my favorite authors. I just finished
reading one of your novels, 'False Accusations.' I was so intrigued, I
didn't want to put it down 'til I was finished! I read it in like one week.
Reading only at night." -S.R.
"I just finished your book. I really
enjoyed reading it. It's a very
entertaining book--I couldn't put it down...the characters were very
engaging. Great ending!" -R.Y.
"I just finished False Accusations. It is one of the best
suspense novels I've read. And I've read quite a few as guides for my own
novel which begins where the legal thriller genre leaves off. Great job.
Look for my 5-star review on Amazon.com." -R.G.
"Dear Brilliant One, Hi from a new
fan. Will be telling my reading group about False Accusations this evening.
Truly brilliant. Now - work, work, work - we need more of Alan Jacobson."
-R.W.
"It was nice meeting you at the Bellevue, Barnes and
Noble. I enjoyed your outstanding presentation. From seeing and listening to
you, I knew the book would be good. It's a fantastic book; congratulations
on the great job." -R.H.
"I couldn't put it down. It was very well written. I
could see the images of what you wrote and made the faces of the characters
as I read what they were thinking and looked like. I look forward to reading
more of your books." -S.F.
"I just finished
reading False Accusations and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed
it. I actually gasped out loud at the end - knowing there was a twist, but
not sure with which character. I look forward to The Hunted." -D.C.
"I just finished reading your book
and I would like to compliment you on it. The book was outstanding from
beginning to end. I also like the character development...i will be watching
for your next book and all that follow. I am an avid reader, and I feel that
you have a great future. Keep up the great work. There are few things that
are as satisfying as a special novel." -B.K.
"For years I followed Steven King and other authors. When
I was a kid it was Enid Blyton, now it is Alan Jacobson, so I wonder what is
in the pipeline. I will promote whatever you write because your style is
easy to read and keeps me on the edge of my seat... keep writing, I will
keep reading. Bad luck about my studies. I am half way through my degree and
need to finish it soon but your books get in the way of my text books."
- T.H.

"False Accusations in my
opinion was one of the most enjoyable, fast acting, intense novels that I
have read. Thank you," R.B.
"I so loved your first book False Accusations that when i
saw that you had another one coming out i immediately looked for information
on it. I work at barnes and noble booksellers and was eager to read the
first one from just the story on the two flaps...Today False Accusations
came in the store in paperback. We received around 8 of them and before my
shift was over at 8 tonight i managed to sell all 8. I have already put in
another order for 10 more copies of the book. It's such an easy one to
sell...I don't usually write to authors but decided your book deserved some
of my time..." -L.K.
"I finished reading "FALSE
ACCUSATIONS" this morning at 2am...I absolutely loved it--EXCEPT...I just
about fell out of bed reading the last paragraph...I will definitely buy
your next book." -V.G.
"I just finished False Accusations. Fantastic novel!!!
...what a surprising twist!!!...I loved the book, and can't wait for the
release of The Hunted to hit the shelves...When a book holds my attention
like False Accusations did, I'm a fan for life..."
-J.C.
"Just finished False Accusations and
it was an excellent read. After finishing the book, I feel that not only did
I enjoy a clever plot but I learned a lot about investigative techniques and
courtroom procedures. Recently finished Cornwell's Black Notice and your
book stands right up with hers." -R.E.
"Let me tell you how much I enjoyed your book. I could not
put it down. I read it in three days which is pretty fast. When is your next
book coming out. I will definitely read it... I rate you up there with John
Grisham and Patricia Cornwell." -R.S.
"I just had to drop a line
expressing my pleasure in your work. I also have a BA in English, and two
teaching credentials, so the majority of my reading is from "suggested
reading list" or "required reading", so it is a joy to just relax during the
summer months and read for MY pleasure!...I am looking forward to your next
novel. Thanks for adding to my pleasurable summer escape reading!" -P.T.
"False Accusations is the best of them all!!! I should be
on commission--I've probably sold a hundred of them. I will be in the book
store looking for something to read and I will see someone else looking and
I mention False Accusations to them. I want to be the first in line for The
Hunted!!!" -N.
"I was spellbound! Wonderful job!
Harrison Ford could be cast in the role of Phil Madison, or maybe he should
be a younger guy, like Mel Gibson." -J.B.
"Thanks for some excellent reading! It was a struggle to
turn out the lights and wait till the next day to complete the book. I look
forward to your next book -- The Hunted." -P.H.
"I have just completed reading your
'False Accusations' and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. It was
easy to read, suspenseful and held my attention to the end. I am looking
forward to reading your new book "The Hunted.'" -M.B.
"I wanted to take a minute and tell you I just finished
your book.......which I have spent the better part of the evening being
unable to put down....... (my children thank you also, since it meant they
got to take the generally forbidden truck to McDonalds, since I was
unwilling to cook dinner) Most interesting read.... great story....... with
one of those ending you barely anticipate.....and then you grin with delight
when you get there..." -L.
"I read a lot of these types of
novels, about one a week, and enjoy most of them. Yours, however, had that
extra 'kick' of a great ending. Thank you for being different. That old
saying -- 'I couldn't put it down.' I look forward to your next book."

"I was extremely impressed. I could not put this book
down. It definitely was a page turner. The book got me hooked from the first
page. I am an avid book reader and am always looking for a new author.
Congratulations on an excellent read. I look forward to reading The Hunted."
-M.M.
"Just read False Accusations. When
is The Hunted coming out??? Hurry....." -M.
"I am eagerly awaiting your next book, and I'm sure it
will be as suspenseful and complex as False Accusations was." -M.S.
"Congratulations on creating a
suspenseful, can't-put-it-down book! I especially loved the Alfred
Hitchcock-surprise ending!! I devoured your book this weekend in one sitting
much to the chagrin of my husband who was left to do the chores in the yard
all by himself!!! I am truly looking forward to your next novel... I totally
agree with the words on the jacket cover that the book truly resonates long
after the last page is turned. Unfortunately, I now have to revise my
thinking about the utility of book jacket assertions!" -P.
"Your book was fantastic. I recommended it to all my
friends. I called the San Antonio Express News Book Review and told about
your book. They had an article in the Sunday paper (and quoted me)...The
ending was awesome! Good luck on your new book."
-C.S.
"Just wanted to let you know that I
just finished reading your book and thought it was just
INCREDIBLE...couldn't put it down...I read it in two days. The story was so
well written and interesting. And when I got to the last page, I was totally
BLOWN AWAY..I just love a surprise ending.. I certainly will be looking for
your next book, The Hunted to come out. Hope there will be many more to
come. Thank you for a very enjoyable reading experience. I will certainly
tell all my friends about your book, and i'm sure they will all enjoy it as
much as I did." -J.
"I just had to send you an email and tell you how much I
enjoyed your first novel. It was EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!"
"There is a group of us in
Charlotte, North Carolina anxiously awaiting your next novel.
When?????????????" -N.
"I could hardly put it down and most of the girls in the
library that I go to have read it also and they enjoyed it as much as I did.
I am anxiously awaiting your new one and hope there will be many many more
to follow. .... Thanks again for such a great book and please continue on -
we are all avid fans already."
-N.Y.
"LOVED IT! I've been telling people
to go out & get it. I really enjoyed the surprises in the plot and your
ability to keep me guessing where you were going next. It was very easy to
buy into the characters. I'll keep buying your books - you've clearly
'hooked me'." -N.C.
"MY name is Hannah Hellman, and i thought it
was funny that the SAME name was used in 'False Accusations.' -H.J.H.
"I just finished reading your book 'False Accusations'. I
just could not put it down!! I read it in 3 days (fast for me!).. I can't
wait until your next novel! I am from Western Australia...so you know how
far away your novel is being read! Thank you for an entertaining and
gripping read," -K.M.
"I had to read that last page over
and over. I couldn't believe the ending. Thought I had it all figured out.
Being in the medical profession, orthopaedics at that, is the main reason my
husband purchased the book for me. But now--John Grisham, James Patterson,
you guys can take a backseat. Welcome to my new favorite author, Alan
Jacobson!! Can't wait for the next one."
-N.H.
"Incredible book!...I couldn't believe it when I read the
last sentence. Again, great work. I look forward to many more books from
you! Also, thanks for taking the time to write. You don't know how much that
means, that a guy as busy as yourself takes time to E-mail your fans! You've
not only proven yourself a great author, you've proven yourself to be a
class act. I'm going to recommend your books to all my friends!"
-T.D.
"I was riveted to your novel, False
Accusations, from the beginning to the end. I had a seven hour car drive to
Las Vegas to see my brother receive his World Championship trophy for hot
boat racing. I was not looking forward to the drive; however, your novel
really helped..." -M.W.
"I just finished reading False
Accusations. Is it your first novel? It's very well done, none of that
introductory stiffness. I loved how you threw the hand grenade in so nonchalantly at the end...It's so nice to be caught off guard by a book. -R.S.
"I am an avid reader. it is my number one
passion. I just finished False Accusations and it has to be by far one of
the very best books that I have ever read. I will read The Hunted when it
becomes available...keep up the good work." -M.B.
"I recently read False Accusations...in about a
day! My mother sent it to me, saying "its just your style, only this one you
won't want to put down at all." She was correct. I read it on a flight from
Austin to San Diego (I started while waiting for plane, and during flight)
and finished it the evening of that day I arrived. It was so fun, easy to
follow and mesmerizing...Loved it, loved it, loved it. Can't wait for your
next book." -M.K.
"I just finished False Accusations and it was fantastic. The
characters were very real. The story seemed to be right out of the
headlines of a newspaper or TV news. I can not wait to start reading The
Hunted. Keep up the good work." -C.S.T.
"I just read your book and enjoyed
it immensely. I am looking forward to reading your next book as well." -E.S.
"Had
to put myself on the list for 'false accusations' and finally got and read
it. '5 star sleep depriver"...ok, when's the next one???" -D.S.
"A very interesting book....I really got involved in the
story. It held me to the end. I especially was surprised and loved the
ending!" -T.L.
"I was totally impressed by 'False
Accusations'. It was the first Alan Jacobson book I have read but it will
definitely not be the last !! The surprise ending was wonderful! Thanks,
Alan."
-N.P.
"...I got caught in it, and was
very intrigued, and entertained - I
really liked your dialogue - all the way through to the fabulous ending.
Nice work..." -H.D.
"This book was one of the best books that I have ever read, and I look
forward to many others! I could not put it down, and my mouth was hanging
open at the end. Please....keep on writing!"
-P.L.
"As a retired person, I now have the time to
read several books a week. False Accusations is clearly the best book I have
come upon in a long time. It was a page turner. Your writing style makes it
easy for the reader. You use word pictures and dialogue which makes the
characters come and remain alive throughout. Keep up the good work!" -M.D.
"Have just read your novel False
Accusations; found it a very riveting story! I work in New Zealand as a
lawyer doing some criminal and civil Court work-there is a big difference in
how we are allowed to operate in Court here-seems a more colourful and
interesting system in America. Thanks for a pleasant read." -G.W.
"wishing you a long and prolific
writing career. a new fan from Montana." -D.G.
"Just finished reading False
Accusations - what a book - and for a debut! You can bet I will now read The
Hunted and anything else you put out. WOW!!" -J.B.
"I just finished reading your book 'False
Accusations.' It is the best mystery I have read in a long time, I did
not want to put it down. The in's and out's of the plot were very good.
Next, I would like to read 'The Hunted'!" -L.A.
"This past week my
wife and I spent vacationing in Mexico, great time with one exception. My
wife spent 4 days with her nose in your book. Although I am very familiar
with her love of reading I have never seen her so intrigued with "any" novel
before. The book was given to her by her mother, a copy you signed while at
Costco one day. Keep us posted with any other novels you have, that way when
she gets one I can go on a mini vacation for several days, after all she
will never know I am gone!!!!" -N.M.
"What a thrill to have discovered
you as a writer. I have just finished reading "False Accusations". Couldn't
put it down....
The characters were so real that I became involved in their inner struggles
and I especially loved the reference to "The Road Not Taken" by Robert
Frost. Thank you so much for a great book." -D.H.
"This is the first book I have
bought since I was probably 17. I have been up all night reading and I could
not put this book down....I wanted to let you know how excellent of a writer
you are...your story makes me feel as if I am there and seeing the picture
from my own eyes. Thanks to you my eight year old daughter, Destiny, thinks
we need to sit down and read our own books without the TV on. I work for a
TV station here in Waco so all we do is watch TV... You have inspired me to
read." -J.
"I read 2 books by David Rosenfelt...Absolutely
page turners from the very first word to the last. I wrote to him and told
him that he must read YOUR "False Accusations," the best of all legal
thrillers to hit the market and especially the ending, a jaw dropper. It is
my favorite book!!" -C.C
"False Accusations depicts the
depths of despair and frustration a model citizen can suffer as the result
of an innocent everyday happening. Mr. Jacobson tells a riveting story with
believable characters and plot that make for a very compelling read. It also
gives us a unique look into the workings of our criminal justice system and
the peripheral leg work it takes to make it work, or not, as the case may
be! We will definitely be on the lookout for more work by Alan Jacobson." -H.C.
