 An insightful look into sexual motivation Mar 07, 2010
I found this historical story with the Voodoo angle fascinating, but I was most taken with the author's ability to meld sexual motivations into the story line. In real life our main motivaions of behavior are a seamless combination of all our needs - when one need overwhelms another or we obsess over an appetite our lives swing out of balance. Jim Duggin understands this very well and we have a very realistic insight into several complex characters. Maybe the plot covered too much geographic area for its scope, but the action flowed and each event built on the other in a logical, entertaining way. Read this book.
 The Power of Voodoo Mar 21, 2009
I couldn't put the book down. Filled with suspense, fast-moving, great characters, and informative historical facts, it belongs among my list of the best books.

Superb Fiction Apr 10, 2008
Jim Duggins has created visual imagery with his prose that makes the reader want learn more about the main characters. This excerpt, set in the distant past when slavery was in full force & effect, demonstrates the power that human beings have over others who are in a less fortunate situation. The language is taunt, riveting and lays bare raw emotions which are both frightening & realistic. I hope to read the entire published novel in the near future
Review of The Power, by Jim Duggins Feb 28, 2008
Mr. Duggins is a masterful writer! Reviewing the excerpt from his book, I found myself mesmerized by his fantastic ability to take the reader into the story. At the end of the excerpt I found myself wanting more. When this book is published I will be first in line to purchase it.

Excellent character development Feb 25, 2008
Excellent character development--I could visualize each individual in my mind's eye. Plot grabbed me right away and
moved me along rapidly to the end of available pages and left me wanting to read it in its entirety.
