5.0 out of 5 stars The Last Paradise, 3 April 2009
By Tami Brady "Whole Health Therapist" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The Last Paradise is a step back into time. Times were harsh in Galveston, Texas just after the Civil War. Jobs were plenty but the promise of a better life was something that only those with money could afford to dream about. Some might say it was a simpler time but those people obviously never met Newt, Maxwell, Burley Horse (that's a woman), Bleach (the local tavern owner), Fanny (the local prostitute and apple of Maxwell's eye), Sara Connor (the boss' daughter), and Sister Ruby (a reformed former "working girl").

The story begins with a courtroom scene. Newt and Maxwell have been involved in a drunken brawl. With the help of Burley Horse, the two manage somewhat light sentences. Newt is sentenced to a year of sobriety, which he takes to mean only drinking when no one is looking. Both Newt and Maxwell are also given community service working with the nuns at a local orphanage.

Immediately, the reader becomes part of the community. From the very start of this book, these people feel real with depth of character, pasts that might be better left in the past, and above all a sense of humor that gets them through some very difficult situations. On the surface, many of these individuals may not seem very loveable or even worthy of pity, yet as you get to know them it's very easy to feel an affinity to them.
