Caught in the Spider's Web is an amazing book. According
to my information and some research that I did myself, not only the main storyline, but every tiny detail in this book is
absolutely, perfectly true. Nevertheless, the book is more gripping than most fictious novels. Personally I thought, that
I could never become addicted to gambling, that I was far too clever to go into this trap. After reading 'caught in the spiders
web' I had to reconsider this position. The book tells the story of a woman who encounters gambling only in her later years.
A large portion of the book is devoted to her earlier life. This detailed account of her childhood and adult years tells you
that she is not a weak or stupid person. She has lived through the world war, was married twice and most importantly ran her
own company very sucessfully over many years. When you read the book you will understand how this strong and successful person
can become addicted to Roulette and how it slowly destroys her life. Being no stranger to business and finance she realizes
that she is constantly losing. Nevertheless, she goes to ever greater length to keep playing. Seeing it with her eyes you
realize that it not the weakness, but the strength of her character that keeps her gambling, even when the only way to go
on is to turn to crime.

I can appreciate what Mari went through. My cousin
has also gone through a similar situation with regard to the addiction. I gave it to her to read. Hope it helps. Very instructive.

It's not what I expected when I saw the cover, but it is quite a story! Beverly G. - Secaucus, NJ

I am writing this e-mail to let you know how fascinating
I found your book. Originally picked it up because the cover ingtrigued me. Then I caught the part about Germany where I was
stationed while in the military. By the time I got to the latter part of the book, I was so engrossed that I just couldn't
put it down. It was almost as if I was living out the main character's life. It is truly a good read. - B. James, Portsmouth,
