<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>Author Howard Burman
has penned an extraordinarily perplexing novel. Paradise by Paradise is a tale
of a man with a brilliant mind, almost to a fault. He was an academic, but also
psychotic; a teacher, a writer, a prodigy.<span>
</span>His mind was a cryptic puzzle, and his life an inexplicable mystery. His
writings full of lies, and tales, much like his own life.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What happened to Roland Paradise? Was it suicide? Or murder?
Is he really gone? This is his tale as told by his friends, colleagues, and
Paradise himself.<span> </span>Quotes from major
sources and minor innuendos fill the pages of this unusual tale.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is a great read for those willing to accept the
unacceptable, willing to understand the abnormal, those longing for
intellectual stimulation. Although the book may not be for everybody, it is
definitely a great read.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is type of book that comes before those great Academy
Oscar wins. Well-written, well-told, the author has either done his homework or
maybe his mind works in much the same way as Paradise’s. Either way, good job,
Mr. Burman, we look forward to more great works.</p>
