John Barbour isn''t beholden to any network or its advertisers, so he can hate or love anything he pleases and tell you why. He''s one of the wittiest critics whose reviews sometimes got him in hot water; however, having had an abusive mother and absentee father, being a high school dropout, and deported back to Canada at 17 years old, angering studio heads didn''t concern John, which you''ll soon discover.
But what happened to all those reviews? John went into a trunk in his garage and hit pay dirt, finding all those issues with his byline where he informed readers about classics such as Network, Grease, The Sting and so many others.
In The Greatest Reviews I''ve Ever Read, come along with Carol Hoenig as she discusses with John some of the best (and worst) films to ever grace the silver screen!
Carol Hoenig is President of Carol Hoenig, Publishing Consultant, Inc. and the author of Without Grace, Of Little Faith, and The Author''s Guide To Planning Book Events. Her essays, articles, book reviews and short stories appear in a wide number of publications.

A young journalist uncovers the dark, long-buried truth behind why a talented singer abandoned her family decades ago in this engrossing novel.In Carol Hoenig’s previous novel, Without Grace, it is believed that Grace Finley walked out on her husband and two young children to fulfill a selfish dream of becoming a famous singer, leaving behind rumors and questions among her family and townsfolk in the mountains of Upstate New York.Now in Before She Was a Finley, it is years later when Adele, a reluctant young journalism student is assigned to “get” a story from a local nursing home where she comes across elderly Grace Finley. Over time, Grace slowly takes Adele back to the 1930s and subsequent years that follow as she provides bits and pieces that eventually reveal the dark truth as to why she walked out on her family carrying only a guitar and suitcase. Adele knows that the class assignment was simply to write about a local person, and even though journalists aren’t supposed to be a part of the story, she cannot shake what she discovered and wants to do more to set the record straight. But is there anyone still alive who would care?In reviewing Without Grace, North Country Public Radio said, “We need more North Country novels like Without Grace, novels with a keen sense of place. Before She was a Finley answers that call. - Häftad, Engelska, 2013
