Review – Neal Dastrup
“I thoroughly enjoy the prospects of a well written novel; especially when the intrigue is based on real life experiences. Carl Douglass’ novels are both: well written and based on real life experiences. He piques the reader’s interest and attention from beginning to end and his writing style rivals the best in the business. I […]
Review – Charles A. Ellis
Carl Douglass is a man of unusual intellect. His knowledge and interests range far beyond the world of medicine. In his most recent book “The Young Coyote,” he has captured the climate of a small town in the American west of the 1940s, the driven young protagonist, Garven and the people who mentored his ambition. […]
Review – Fay McGuire
The Young Coyote — An excellent descriptive story about a part of rural America in a small town setting. It reminds me somewhat of my youthful days before college, military service and an airline career with Western and Delta airlines that spanned thirty-one years flown over North America and Mexico. Anxious for the coming books! […]

I think Carl Douglass’s latest books, the SAGA of a NEUROSURGEON, are outstanding. Each book is full of compelling drama and intrigue that perpetuated my interest from chapter to chapter.

Review – Thomas L. Fowler
I just finished reading Saga of a Neurosurgeon, The Young Coyote. The struggles of a child moving at a young age with his mother to a small town and how he copes and succeeds through sports, was an enjoyable read. The book flowed nicely and kept my attention throughout. I found myself relating to Garven […]
Reviews – Robert A. Jacobsen
Carl Douglass’s books are vivid and engaging; written for the well-educated who are unafraid of an extensive English vocabulary, and multiple foreign language and philosophical references. His description of medical and surgical training in the sixties and early seventies, accurate to last detail. – Robert A.

Review – Paul Olson
I am writing this on a Sunday. Saturday morning I started Carl Douglass’s “All in Jest” and haven’t been able to put it down. I am on page 175 and can’t wait until lunch so that I can hopefully read a little more. It flows well, is very engaging and exceptionally well written. If the […]
Saga of a Neurosurgeon Book One, THE YOUNG COYOTE – Review by Neal Dastrup
THE YOUNG COYOTE, by Carl Douglass, tells the beginning of the story—the saga—of a boy who will succeed, whatever the cost to himself or to anyone who gets in his way. Ten-year-old Garven Aloysius Carmichael sits on a broken old fence yearning to be accepted into the social milieu of the town into which he […]
Saga of a Neurosurgeon Book Two, ANYTHING GOES – Review by Neal Dastrup
ANYTHING GOES, by my now favorite author, Carl Douglass, begins where THE YOUNG COYOTE leaves off.

Despite […]
