A winner!
14 Sep 2001
Format:Hardcover
Norm Green's characters are so real and alive, I could swear that I've seen them somewhere in the NY metro area. Shooting Dr. Jack is a mystery...but much more than your typical mystery. It brings you in and puts you right on the streets of Brooklyn. Even though I lost sleep from reading late into the night, I really didn't want the book to end.
My advise to others: try it, you'll like it.
I can't wait for his next novel. Hurry up Norman Green, give us more.

A good first novel
11 Feb 2005
Format:Paperback
I ended up reading Green's three books in the reverse chronological order in which they were written ... this is his first book and the last one that I read.
I'm a big fan of Green's ... and like this book almost as well as his last.
Like the other two, this has a good plot and interesting characters. While you don't feel much sympathy for the characters at the beginning, they grow on you and by the end you're wholly engaged.
Not a mystery ... but a good suspense novel and a great character study. I'm only sorry that his fourth book hasn't been released!

Outstanding First Book
9 Mar 2002
Format:Hardcover
Shooting Dr. Jack is an excellent first novel for Norman Green. The book's characters come to life with Green's detailed descriptions. His ability to describe characters, places and events is a rarity in todays books, and you feel as if his characters are actual people walking the streets of Brooklyn. Once I started this novel and got to know these characters I could not put it down. I can't wait for Norman Green's second book, I am sure it will be full of more detailed and memorable characters, and surprises.
