In the end ''Tears of a Phoenix'' is Jed's journey. In concept it may be emotional and complex but it's an easy, engaging read covering a life of disruption and vengeance that's far from unique. This is not just writing as entertainment (and it ''is'' very entertaining) but also an interpretation of the gangster mind that the media like to lump under the all-embracing brand of 'criminal' when perhaps it would be more profitable to look at the individual rather than the label.
I would like to thank the publisher for giving Bookbag a copy of this book for review. We also have a review of Noble's [[The 49th Day by Helen Noble|The 49th Day]].
