Snow Storm

I have known of Mike Alger from previous audiobooks I have listened to when he was a narrator and excited to have the opportunity to read his own tale he has written, Snow Storm. I was not disappointed. I enjoyed taking this adventure with weatherman Greg O'Brien. There were a few of his scenes that I found to be comical. It made for a fun and entertaining mystery. It was not one that was easily predictable and forcing me to keep listening on to see how it would all turn out for him. I thought it was a fabulous and delightful book to read. I could not help to have it all read in one day. I had the pleasure of listening to the audio version of Snow Storm. Which is, also, narrated by its very own author, Mike Alger. Mr Alger’s voice and performance was great to listen to. I thought his narration really brought the story out and just the way he wanted it to be told. I am giving Snow Storm a very well deserved five plus stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading fun mysteries. I would love to read more like this one by Mike Alger in the near future. I found that this one is most definitely not one to be missed. I received an audio version of Snow Storm from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

5 Stars & Two Thumbs Up!

Greg O'Brien, well-known TV meteorologist and the main character of Mike Alger's novel, Snow Storm, has a problem. Someone is trying to kill him and he doesn't know why. Here's a clue: The title of the novel, Snow Storm is a double entendre for the hero's winter weather forecasts as well as the street name for that illegal white powder that some people delight in sniffing up their noses. Alger's Snow Storm is a fast-paced, action-packed read that will keep you turning the pages and wishing you could read faster. Not only is Snow Storm extremely well written and the plot well-crafted, but the main character, Greg O'Brien has a quick tongue and a sense of humor that provides the reader with just enough comic relief to balance the thrill-a-minute action as events unfold in the story. Oh, and you learn a bit about weather forcasting as a bonus too. Five stars and two thumbs up for Mike Alger's Snow Storm. It's a terrific read!

A Wild Ride

What a romp! Mike Alger has written a fun and fast paced novel with an extremely likeable central character. Greg O'Brien, local meteorologist extraordinaire, gets unwittingly pulled into the nasty web of a diabolical drug lord, and goes eyeball to eyeball with a quirky assassin as a result. Fortune shines on Mr. O'Brien however, as he is able to slip through the would-be killer's clutches time and again. While trying to stay alive, he's also trying to solve the riddle as to how he got into such a mess in the first place!Snow Storm is well plotted, with interesting characters, and believable dialogue. Greg O'Brien, our reluctant hero, is a family man who loves his wife and adores his children. He doesn't swear, and he goes to church. How refreshing! We can't help but worry what's next for our humble meteorologist, but Greg does have some help, thank goodness.This book is a wild ride from start to finish, and Mike Alger has done a terrific job. Let's hope he keeps writing, a Greg O'Brien series of books would be great!

I just loved it!

This book was so much fun to read. I appreciate the hero being such an average guy - even if he is a local celebrity - who finds himself in an extraordinary situation and somehow manages to come out alive, while doing the right thing. The ending is a great surprise!

Great job !

Snow Storm was a fast-paced, exciting story... I felt as though I knew the characters, and I certainly didn't want to put the book down until I got to the last page. Mike Alger did a great job!

Don't miss this fun new book!

Snow Storm was a kick! We both read it very quickly - didn't want to put it down and competed for who got it at night! Snow Storm is fun, captivating, imaginative and well-written. We both appreciated that the author didn't seem to take himself or this book too seriously; the leading man is not so heroic that he becomes larger than life. His ability to mess up and then poke fun at himself before rallying to victory make him very likeable and enjoyable to follow. And the author's knowledge of locale and experience as a weather man make his characters very believable - I felt the hero could have been the guy living next door. Big kudos to Mike Alger for this first book - it's a winner and we hope he writes many more! Heidi & Don Myers
