Book Reviews of When The Bronx Burned
Book Review: Fantastic Book
Summary: 5 Stars
As a retired FDNY firefighter who worked in the Bronx during the period just after the one described in John's book, I think he did a great job. My generation of firefighters were lucky enough to have the ones from John's generation as our teachers, and he described them all perfectly. The story has a fast pace that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Although his story was written as a novel, you will come away with a clear vision of what happened in those dark days. John spares no one when he describes how evil landlords, arsonists and of course our own politicians systematically destroyed the South Bronx. Not to mention the countless lives that were lost and the thousands that were left homeless. This is a book for everyone, you don't have to be a firefighter to enjoy it. You will come away with a new respect for the men who worked in those firehouses during the 60's and 70's. His story would make a great movie!Book Review: When The Bronx Burned
Summary: 5 Stars
Outstanding. Fascinating fiction that closely parallels real life. Interesting for anyone with a fire department association or a layman. Especially good for those who have a familiarity with the FDNY and the South Bronx. Action and suspense keeps you glued to the story. Tough to put down. Hated to have it end.Book Review: Did not regret reading this!

From page one the book had me hooked all the way up until the end. I was kind of upset that I finished it so fast but it was an amazing book. Definatley one of the best books I've read so far the author made it seem like you were right there in the action and what it's like to be apart of the brotherhood.Book Review: excellent book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a big reader, but this book was recommended to me, so I bought it and I enjoyed it very much. I hated for it to end.
The book gives a realistic look at what life was like for South Bronx firemen during the 1970s. There was a lot of comradery among the men and a can-do attitude.
Book Review: thruth is everything in this book. hoorah to fdny.
Summary: 5 Stars
