Book Description
There isn’t much sun in the fun when a billionaire real estate tycoon is found murdered on the Tilt-A-Whirl at a seedy seaside amusement park in the otherwise quiet summer tourist town of Sea Haven. John Ceepak, a former MP just back from Iraq, has just joined the Sea Haven police department. The job offer came from an old army buddy who hoped to give Ceepak at least a summer’s worth of rest and relaxation to help him forget the horrors of war. Instead, Ceepak will head up the murder investigation. He is partnered with Danny Boyle, a 24-year-old part-time summer cop who doesn’t carry a gun and only works with the police by day so he has enough pocket money left over to play with his beach buddies at night.
In the first novel in a new series written in the spirit of Carl Hiaasen’s work, the Tilt-A-Whirl murder pushes Ceepak’s deep sense of honor and integrity to the limits, as unexpected twists and turns keep the truth spinning wildly in every direction.

Murder and Fun at the Jersey Shore.......2007-08-23
Chris Grabenstein's series of mysteries set at the Jersey Shore is a great fun collection. The narrator's relaxed style creates a special insight into the hero (the narrator's police partner). I enjoyed this series so much, I bought it for my local library.
Took me back . . ........2007-06-29
....to summers spent at the Jersey Shore. Or the Maryland or Delaware Shores. Maybe Sea Haven is a universal Shore town, but those are the areas I'm familiar with from long ago summers and the positioning of the mystery was half the fun for me. I expected some crime or military "experts" to be in here complaining about accuracy, which I know little about. It felt like it was inaccurate, but that doesn't bother me unless I'm trying to read a review that picks apart every detail. I listened to the downloadable audio version and the narrator, Jeff Woodman is really great, although I didn't think so at first. Danny is our narrating character, but the dialog covers many voices and Woodman uses a Sgt Joe Friday ("Just the facts, ma'am") voice for John Ceepak that was jarring at first but is absolutely perfect after you get used to it. Many of the characters were overdrawn small town stereotypes, but I don't mean that as a criticism. They belonged there. I wanted to kill the mayor, or at least lock him up for his constant "Have a sunny, funderful day!!!" and his "keep the tourists happy at all costs" attitude. He's perfect. I immediately got and listened to the next two books, and am wondering how I'll wait until Summer 2008 for the next installment.
I am looking forward to the next one!.......2007-05-04
Tilt A Whirl is Grabenstein's first book featuring police officer John Ceepak and his partner, part-time Summer cop Danny Boyle. The two of them work in the small New Jersey resort town of Sea Haven. While eating breakfast one morning, they see a girl standing in the street covered in blood. Her wealthy father has been fatally shot while sitting on the Tilt A Whirl at the amusement park. Ceepak, who has recently returned from the war in Iraq, has a soft spot for children in need and vows to protect the girl and find her father's killer.
I must confess that I read Gravenstein's second book (Whack A Mole) in this series first and came back to read this one. Tilt A Whirl shows how Ceepak came to Sea Haven and sets up the hero/sidekick relationship between Ceepak and Danny Boyle. The story is told from Boyle's point of view and he sees Ceepak as somewhat larger than life. Compared to Ceepak, Danny looks like a screw-up. Grabenstein does a great job of describing Danny as a young man who grew up at the beach and still hangs out there with his friends - a young man without ambition until he meets Ceepak. And when he believes that his hero has done something wrong, Grabenstein writes of his disappointment simply but powerfully.
I tend to dislike books in which children are victims. I think authors often use children gratuitously for extra shock value. But Grabenstein doesn't run rampant here. He has incorporated Ceepak's special need to help children into his character background and makes it believable. Ceepak is a character who has been through the emotional wringer and is doing the best he can to solve the problems put in front of him, in accordance with his personal code of conduct.
I have enjoyed both of Grabenstein's books and am looking forward to the next one, Mad Mouse. If you are interested in reading them, start with Tilt A Whirl. It is a little bit more serious than Whack A Mole (in which Grabenstein's history in comedy is a little more apparent) but give you good background information. There are also some events mentioned in Whack A Mole that happen in Tilt A Whirl and you will understand the references if you read the books in order.
Favorite character? Danny Boyle. Did I guess it? Yes. Will I read another? Definitely.
Great characters, needed a better plot.......2007-01-11
Danny Boyle is a 24-year-old, part-time summer cop--he gets the baseball cap, but no gun--in Sea Haven, New Jersey. He is partnered with John Ceepak, a former MP back from Iraq who lives by the Code and plays by the rules. While having breakfast one morning, a young girl, covered in blood, runs from the area of the Tilt A Whirl screaming that a crazy man just shot her father, a billionaire real estate tycoon.
Grabenstein's protagonists of Danny and Ceepak are what make this book work. They are a delightful study in contrasts giving humor to an otherwise less-than-perfect book. The story is written in first person, present tense with the narrator being Danny, allowing the reader to uncover the facts as do the characters. There is a good deal of profanity and I enjoyed when Ceepak admonishes Danny on its use. There are constant references to songs by Springsteen, which is appropriate for the setting, but if you're not a fan of the Boss, it's a bit meaningless and distracting. To me the plot was weak; I suspected where the story was going half-way through and the killers-tell-all scene unrealistic at best. As to the fact that the cover is bright pink with a rollercoaster on the cover certainly proves I don't buy a book for its cover. I am certain I shall read the next book in this series because of the characters, but I desperately hope for a stronger, more logical plot.
Crazy, lovable, wicked, dangerous and sweet!!!.......2006-10-27
Tilt-a Whirl is a rapid fire, laugh out loud, novel that will leave you wanting to read Chris Grabenstein's next book!!
At a typical sea-side New Jersey town, where the crime consists of jay-walking and kids drinking on the beach, things are about to get serious! In the middle of the summer beach season,a wealthy man is found murdered on the tilt-a-whirl ride at the local amusement park and his daughter is found running in the street covered in blood, screaming.
Two cops go to her aid. This has got to be the funniest pairing of cops since..........well, talk about the odd couple. John Ceepak is a former military man, who fought in Iraq. Danny Boyle is a happy go lucky, lookingfor a good time kind of guy. Ceepak lives by a rigid code of honor, Danny lives by the seat of his pants. As the investigation into the murder proceeds, the dialogue is fast-paced and funny,the Bruce Springsteen quotes flow, the clues are collected and examined and the level of danger rises quickly!
This is one of the funniest mystery/detective novels that I have read in a long time. Think of the New York version of Carl Hiaasen and you may be close. Chris Grabenstein is irreverently humorous, unbelievably focused and has the gift to pull it all together! Crazy, lovable, wicked, dangerous, sweet all are words that easily come to mind when reading this book.

A reflection of anyone's life.......2007-01-19
I first found Gooberz over 10 years ago at a local bookstore. Since then I have purchased 3 more copies for loved ones.
It's quite random, not for those wanting a straight Point A to Point B story, but that's really the glory of it. No matter who you are, how or where you grew up, there's a part of Gooberz that will call to you and make sense to you. After all, life is quite random, no matter how much we want it to be otherwise.
Whenever I feel lost or just want to "go back to a happy place" I read some Gooberz.
To melt a weary and jaded heart.......2006-05-11
I can't believe I only just found this book. I started reading Linda's books when I was about 12-13 or so. I'm 35 now. For years I longed for Gooberz, which she hinted at in Love Signs, to be published, and now finally I've found it, after having forgetten Linda for so long.
I just wish I could give this book more than five stars.. :(
Thing is, I've barely even started it yet(just finished the first Canto) and the magic is already working on me.
Ok, here's a game(none to serious) I suggest playing. See how far you can get before this book makes you cry. Clearly I will never be a winner. I teared up before I even finished the credits. I hadn't even started on the Prologue! And believe me, it takes a lot for a book to move like this.
Everything everyone here has said so far is true, this really, truly IS a magical book. I wish I could buy a copy for everyone..
Love to you, Linda, wherever you are now.. Xx
Beyond touching, more like inspiring.......2006-04-16
I too searched for this book, but until recently could not find it. I suppose, "when the student is ready the teacher will come!" This book is without a doubt the most magical, deep, & unique book you will ever read. Just remember that if you do find yourself with this book, there is a reason you did. You must know that you should open your heart & your "third eye" to such profound truth. It is amazingly universal in its Oneness with the reader. A TRUE love story.
Trust Your Higher S-elves........2006-02-04
After reading the less than glowing review of "Gooberz," I realized that we are not all reading the same book. We put into the book as much as the book "puts out" to us.
It *is* everyone's story and I think that's scary for some. It saved MY life when I was in high school and then I bought it for all of my closest friends. I continue to have a relationship with Linda Goodman to this day, even in the Spirit realm. This book touched a lot of lives. Just go to www.linda-goodman.com and you will see hundreds, thousands of Linda Goodman lovers gathered together for a common purpose.
I wish more people would read "Gooberz" ... not because it's about "new agey stuff" or because she compares a woman in a restaurant to Madame Butterfly, but for the sheer fact that it's humanity. This book is about humanity, besides love found, lost, then found again.
Trust your Higher S-elves. Read this book.
Touched with magic..........2005-12-04
It has been awhile since I have lost myself in the treasures of this book.I know my review may sound strange to some, but if you are a Linda Goodman fan you may understand. Linda Goodman both shaped and changed my life. Having gone through a very traumatic time in High School living with a drug addict and alcoholic, with very little love and attention I found a true comfort in the writings of Linda Goodman. I bought this magical book when I was 18, lost and scared, and her sorrow and pain her poetic magic, honestly made me feel that I was not alone. There are not words to describe this book. This is where I may sound a little odd, but it isn't like a book really but a journey. I am not kidding about this, I sware to you that the book will transform itself to your life. I know this doesn't make sense and I wish I could fully articulate what I mean, but it truelly does. I remember one thing that truelly stood out, was I was reading a passage, about how life is a Carousel and we go round and round. I was reflecting on it, that seemed to have meaning to me. And I remember my high school boyfriend, absolutely having nothing to do with that book, not even knowing I was reading it said to me out of nowhere, "You know life is a carousel, we just keep going round and round." Now this isn't something people tend to state everyday. It is not a typical statement at all. This is only one of many, many magical things that happened when I was in the book. It is now many years later, and the book is on my shelf, forever a part of me, a treasure that saved me at a time when I thought nothing could. I grew up, got married, went to college, got a respectable job, but the magic of Linda Goodman forever lives in my heart.

Fitness guru Denise Austin helps you "zero in on your personal trouble spots" while increasing metabolism with this 6-week exercise and eating program. Her formula includes toning workouts that target the waist, thighs, abs, buttocks, hip, lower back, and upper arms; regular walking and stretching; and eating strategies (not dieting). Her tips are refreshingly sensible: Avoid chronic dieting (it hurts your health and makes you fatter), stretch to decrease stress, fill up on high-fiber foods, eat a balanced diet, build muscle to increase calorie-burning, and walk almost every day. Austin's clearly illustrated and varied exercises use body weight, dumbbells, resistance bands, or a stability ball. A sample exercise schedule takes 15 to 60 minutes a day. For especially busy days, she offers a series of exercises that work two or more muscle groups at once. Austin's "Shrink-Fat Eating Plan" emphasizes portion control, 1,400 to 1,800 calories, and a nutritional breakdown of 24 percent "good" fat, 20 percent protein, and 56 percent high-quality carbs. Whether you just want a foundation to get started or you need a structured, daily program (including menu plans, shopping lists, and daily logs), you can find it here. Profiles of happy and successful followers of the program add interest. Highly recommended. --Joan Price

Excellent For The Beginner.......2006-04-10
Any beginner will be able to pick this book up and make immediate improvements in their fitness and health.
All areas are adressed and I'm happy to see a decent flexibility program covered as well.
As a professional trainer - it is always nice to see a good resource for the new exerciser.
Ladies, if you are just starting out, give this one a look.

Practical and educating........2006-03-24
I found this book to be helpful in my understanding of the female body.Given that I work with many female executives,I found this information to be very useful in designing my clients' workouts-especially the female body composition.
I liked the fact that the book showed me ways of getting the most out of the block of time I have for my clients.Most of them come in over lunch hour to train, the gyms are packed and there is no time to think and search.This book give me insights on how to save and maximize on the time that I have, and my clients really appreciate it.

If you want a book to give you lessons on what exercises are the best for you and a few meals to use this book may be for you. I found that you can get the same exercises listed in most videos and dvd's that denise austin has previously released. Also, the meals she gives you might work if you were just going to make 2-servings, they don't always work as well when increased for a family.
Only good for an absolute beginner.......2006-02-05
If you know ANYTHING about eating properly already, don't purchase this book. This book is meant for beginners only. Denise must have been paid by the companies that produce the foods she suggests, because if you don't have access to the specific foods and types she recommends, there are no alternatives. The workout is also completely basic and rudimentary and focussed towards those that have NEVER worked out before, or possibly the elderly. I had high hopes for this book but was completely let down and actually returned it.
I was skeptical, but it really works!.......2005-11-23
I'm the first to admit that dieting makes me grouchy. Additionally, I am not a morning person, so the idea of getting up early and power-walking for 30 minutes four times a week seemed like Chinese water torture. But I had a formal dress to get into, and I needed drastic measures. So I read the book, and gradually incorporated the elements of the plan into my daily routine. I started with the meal plans. It was an eye-opener to see what a true portion should be, and I could see in my food journal all the things I was putting in my mouth every day. Next week, I started the walking. After a week I really started to enjoy it! I have two kids under 6, and I found I relished the quiet time to myself out on the roads in the morning. After that, I started the weight workouts. I saw results in the first month of following all of the advice. The motivational stuff seemed too perky in the beginning, but around week 6, when I started to get major chocolate cravings, I just kept thinking about what she said about halfway through the book. "Nothing tastes as good as being fit feels." Thirteen weeks later, I am 19 pounds thinner, and the formal I was trying to get into was a little loose! Everyone compliments me on how great I look. If you are really serious about getting into shape and fitting into your clothes, this is the book (and plan) for you.

Even though I have had many dogs, Tank was my first rescue dogs. This book was very helpful to read before adopting and in the first few months I referred back to the book frequently for helpful hints.

Beautiful & Knowledgeable.......2007-02-11
Great book. Shows many pictures of native plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, vines, etc.
Also talks about how they grow, best areas, etc.
While this book will show you all the native plants in Florida, it does not touch (of course) on plants that WILL grow in Flrodai, of which would be an even bigger book.
Still very useful & will stay on my shelf for many years.
Native Florida Plants.......2004-06-02
I am the co-author of "Native Florida Plants". The new revised edition was printed in early 2004. The new book is not listed on www.amazon.com I think the problem may be the different ISBN number. The new ISBN number is 1-58979-051-0. The book is available from National Books Network at 1-800-462-6420. We hope to see our book on www.amazon.com very soon. This is a great site to get new and used books. I am a customer. Robert Haehle
New Edition.......2004-06-02
Native Florida Plants is NOT out of print! A new, updated edition was published early this year, and includes additional plants, an updated source list, and a list of family names. Hope it appears on Amazon's website ASAP. (I am the co-author.)
Native Florida Plants: Low Maintenance Landscaping and Garde.......2003-09-03
As a fairly new resident of Florida I look forward to Robert Haehle's NGA email each month, with his great advise & tips. This book is a "must have" for anyone new to tropical gardening, as well as, the Southern natives. The information & beautiful photos are especially helpful in identifying what is in my yard & what I would like to add.
Phenomenal Book.......2003-08-28
This was very helpful. It organizes plants by type, but gives enough information so you know where they best grow. It has lots of color pictures and also some landscape designs that make it easy for you to create something for your own yard (especially if you are a beginner). I wish there were something like this for the Pacific Northwest (now that I've moved).

Murder in Memphis.......2002-01-26
As it is a particular field of interest to me, I have probably read more about the trilogy of 1960's assassinations than most. Most conspiracy theories, however, involve a certain suspension of disbelief, and the reader, as investigator, must decide what they believe or not. Not so in Mark Lane and Dick Gregory's Murder in Memphis; without pointedly trying to be, their simple stating of the facts is the single most damning, disturbing, and convincing indictment of the FBI and others involved that I have ever read. Brilliantly written, the book is also meticulously researched; every source used is clearly identified and the reader gets the impression they could independently verify every statement made with relative ease. A non-stop page-turner from beginning to end; it is a must read for anyone who enjoys non-fiction.
Not as good as orders to kill.......2002-01-04
This is a fairly good book but nothing like Orders to Kill by William Pepper which is much more detailed and conclusive in it's arguments. Thinking about it I guess these guys probably re-released to cash in on the time, effort and money that Pepper spent on the the case. Still it is much better than Posner so...
