The readers have spoken: "amazing", "compelling", "riveting"

We want to hear from you. Read the book and let John know what you thought. And we'll add your comments to this page.

 

I found your book fascinating!! It reminded me of the stories my dad (a retired Yonkers fireman) would tell of the obstacles he had endured. I loved the book and the cover was amazing...

Many thanks for bringing (to light) the FDNY 'story' of the war years of the South Bronx in your compelling novel 'When The Bronx Burned.'

--Mike Laffey


I found "When The Bronx Burned" totally riveting, I could not put it down. John has hit the nail on the head, especially in describing some of the Engine work. After the arson problem moved to the West Bronx I can say only one thing, "Been There Did That."

--Wayne Halloran

My wife gave me your book for Christmas.  I read it in one day. It was thoroughly enjoyable!  I recognized many instances you wrote about; finally a book that told readers what happened at that time!  I realize it was written as 'fiction', however, as a former FDNY, your writings told what really happened, in a very entertaining form.

A most incredible book, written by a veteran firefighter who lived through the hell of "When the Bronx Burned," and had the courage and passion to write about it.
