Adventure in Hawaii
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Aloha, Mr. Lucky opens in Waikiki. Star Holley is running a personals ad scam and doing his best to stay one jump ahead of a loan shark out for blood. When one of the women Star meets turns up dead on the beach, he is drawn into a life-threatening but increasingly spiritual adventure that takes him and his companions to a remote valley on the Big Island of Hawaii. Clever plot which brings together a colorful cast of initially unrelated characters. Funny, quirky, informative, fast-moving. Read it!
leave 'em laughing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is one of the best capers I've ever read. I laughed for pages at a time. The prose is so polished, the plot so tight, and the characters so well limned that I found it difficult to believe that it is a first novel. Comparisons are inevitable, so I will skip them (although, hint: what writer has the same initials?). One thing that set this book apart was that there is a great deal of Hawaiian mythology and natural history woven through it, and I learned quite a bit. Enjoy!
A Great Read

I found myself laughing out loud many times as I read this delightful book. It was not only funny and well written, it carried a punch. The build up was wonderful - a real page turner - and the ending was great. I'll be waiting with anticipation for the next novel Hirschfeld puts out. This one was a slam dunk.
Aloha Corson Hirschfeld !
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
What a first novel ! This well conceived story never lets you down and makes for quick enjoyable read. Corson brings to life the language and flavor of Hawaii that only a devotee could bring to the forefront. His characters are as real as they are compelling. You will be left intrigued by the past of this island paradise that clearly has more to teach us about its culture, archaeology and its flora and fauna. Corson weaves a wonderful yarn. Best read on the beach or headed there. You will learn a lot about the culture and ethnology of Hawaii by reading this book.

What a great read! Hirschfeld drew lively characters. Star is a delightfully laid-back protagonists and the villains combine menace and hilarity in equal measures. Hawaii is the perfect setting for the fast paced action. I learned a lot about the environmental concerns of Hawaii and enjoyed every minute of it. Hope to see a lot more from this new writer.
