The author, Robert E. Levin continues to elevate his readers to different levels. Though this time, a real treat is given to the reader when the work is shared with Steve J. Weiss. The characters are brought to life by vivid images and believable situations. This is a thriller that sits on the cusp of reality while remaining fiction. That is a feat not easily achieved by many writers. A definite read that keeps you from beginning to end.

I devoured this book whole. Not a morsel was left, though I do hope the authors write a second book together! This is a story that will appeal to a wide range of readers on all levels, as it could possibly be a "true" story, rather then fiction. The focus in About Face is about two teen brothers, the abuse they suffer at the hand of a cold, uncaring father, and the boys attempt to help a young boy out of his own domestic abuse situation. The tale is told from each boys point of view, each writer using a different voice and writing style. I found this to add to the flavor and style of the story line. I even took this book to work to read on my lunch hour, I was so caught up!All characters are well rounded, with clear speaking voices. I loved some,admired others and HATED others. Personalities sprung to life on the pages of my imagination wile reading About Face.About Face is a tale of terror, without the vampires, two head demons or demented scientists lurking about. Just raw emotionthat will grab your attention from the beginning of the book.A friend recommended I read this book and I am now passing on that advise to others. You won't regret it.

ABOUT FACE is a remarkable book. It is a very open look at the relationship between two very different brothers and their strong love for one another. It is this love, and the need to help someone else out of an abusive situation, that sets the stage for a very fast paced story that will keep you completely spellbound to the very last twist. It is a very intense read, and I personally had trouble putting it down (I almost missed a bus to work I was so engrossed in reading this) I encourage ANYONE who loves a good read to pick this publication!

I have read About Face by Robert Edward Levin and Steve J. Weiss. The writing is tight and well thought out. The character development is so sound I was drawn into the read from the beginning. I am on my second read of About Face now, and am just as pleased with the book this time around. Fine work indeed, just an excellent piece of writing.Michael Ladanyi
