Reviews

Here's what readers and reviewers are saying about Key Monster...

"Dravis' touch with characters and settings is more than expert, and his raw-boned prose is tastefully done. Key Monster will satisfy suspense buffs looking for changes in attitudes & latitudes. You can almost hear Jimmy Buffet in the background. So...go grab a copy of Key Monster, some salt, limes and get wasted away in Margaritaville. It's a great summer read." ...Tom O'Brien, Washington, DC

"A hell of a debut for Lee Dravis. Smoothly written, darkly funny and totally original, Dravis has written, if not the great American novel, at least the perfect Key West novel. I can't wait to see what comes next from this new talent." ...Rod, South Florida

"Momentum builds until the reader just can't stop. A real page turner." ...Tom Verba, Washington, DC

"I read Key Monster last week and really loved it! You definitely rate right up there with Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey." ...Sean McGrew, Montana

"Whether you can actually get away to the tropics, or if you just wish you could, this book is a fun way to get there! I was caught up immediately." ...Sally Matteson, Charlottesville, VA

"This book is more refreshing than a cold margarita on a hot Key West beach. A must read for anyone looking for some good summer fun!" ...Ray Cahill, Washington, DC

"Key Monster is an excellent choice for a long, lazy afternoon of literary indulgence." ...Harry Lenchitz, Northern Virginia

"Key Monster is the perfect summer vacation read. I felt that I was part of the action and I could not put the book down. Very interesting and well developed characters, great locales, and suspenseful plot. Great ending!" ...David Lang, Millington, NJ

"What a great read! I read it over Memorial Day weekend, and I couldn't have picked a better beach book. I got so caught up in it that every now and then, I actually glanced toward the horizon to see if maybe--just maybe--I could see a sinuous neck plowing through the waters. The book is funny and whimsical, yet the characters are so well portrayed that in no time at all, the reader gets sucked into the action, never doubting that one way or another, the meeting between humans and Monster will make for a fantastic climax of the story." ...Eva, Maryland

"I really think your writing is good--streamlined with character, and you have a knack for knowing where to begin and end scenes and how to create a narrative that's quirky yet believable." ...Aileen, Alexandria, VA

"Save travelling expenses to the beach this summer and pick up a copy of Key Monster by Lee Dravis. It is a beach of a book fully loaded with excitement page after page." ...Ed Tooma, Maryland

And my personal favorite...

"Trashy, but good." ...Jane Verba, Washington, DC

 

Here's what readers and reviewers are saying about Burning Books on Fenwick Street...

"I am hooked! Your characters are so realistic, and the story paints such a vivid picture. I think you hit the mark with this one." ...Rick Pantaleo, Stafford, VA

"Lee Dravis has written a delightful little novel...Burning Books on Fenwick Street is a terrific read." ...Thomas H. Naylor, Charlotte, VT

"Mr. Dravis tells a story almost as well as Jean Shephard! A book that even this Nixon admirer enjoyed. Excelsior!" ...Olympia Lang, Warren, New Jersey

"I kept thinking of '1984' and 'Fahrenheit 451' as I read this second novel from Lee Dravis. If you're at all worried about the direction America is taking, you should definitely read this new novel of sedition, rebellion and love." ...Sallee, Key West, FL

"The details of setting and character are superb, tightly written, with an ending you'll never see coming. This is a novel you'll want your friends to know about." ...(Name withheld by request) Virginia

"Unlike the books tossed on the bonfires of his Virginia suburb, Dravis' novel generates a fire of its own."...Tim Matson, Vermont
