Title: Berlin's First Novel Shows Greatness
Product review: Headlock rates up there with The Naked and the Dead (Mailer) and Catcher in the Rye (Salinger) and The Adventures of Augie March (Bellow) as one of the great first novels. The book's action and its memorable characters grab you as much as the title, so don't start this book unless you have a couple of free hours, because you won't want to put it down. But it is more, much more, than simply a fast-paced novel. It is a story with depth, a story about coming of age, about self-realization, and about family. Without giving anything away, the drama of the book's action moves inevitably toward a perfect conclusion. This is a novel you won't soon forget!
