If you're a fan, your story could be featured in the collection too!

This is a must read for fans of the Low Country. The work captures some of the lore of Charleston not often discussed.

Whatever

Take a cup of Steven King, blend with a generous dollop of John Behrendt, stir in a taste of Kahlil Ghibran and add them all to the unique vision and talent of David Farrow. The result is "The Root Of All Evil", a book to be savored again and again. Farrow has set his macabre tale of boyhood friends turned adult adversaries in his beloved Charleston. Born and raised in this loveliest of all Southern cities, he captures it so completely that even if you have never visited here, by the end of this captivating novel you'll feel as though you've walked the streets and alleys, strolled along the Battery, and basked in the sunlight of Waterfront Park. For those of us who have spent time here it instantly transports us back. But either way the Charleston Farrow shows us is far different from the one shown in travel brochures. Taking the reader inside Charleston society and under it to the "Voodoo" herb culture of the Gullah people, he spins a terrifying yarn not of "whodunit" but "whatdunit"! Captivating characters, nail-biting action and a pace that accelerates with the turning of every page makes this one of those books that truly are hard to put down. I've just finished reading it for the third time and I'm still discovering new aspects of Farrow's masterful prose. While I eagerly await the movie someone is bound to make of this book (imagine the special effects !), I more eagerly await his next book. Thanks for the ride, Mr. Farrow! May I please have another?

I'm a Yankee from Maine, but the Root of All Evil drew me into the southern city of Charleston, S.C., its customs, culture and traditions, and left me feeling like a local. The book grabbed me at the start when a senuous, reckless trist ends in a violent death. There is a serial killer on the loose, but the usual tired drama is not what follows. Instead, the reader is introduced to engaging, colorful characters, dynamic interpersonal relationships and the power of good and evil. The suspense is intoxicating, the writing superb and the conclusion refreshingly unexpected. A breath of fresh air

Having spent all his life living in Charleston and the last half unfolding the historic city for tourists, David Farrow writes with an undiluted appreciation for his home.
But the real value beyond the homespun comraderie and irreverent rich Southern society-speak of the main characters is Farrow's imagination. Voodoo in the South Carolina lowcountry mixed with quantum physics and the search for God is not the standard fare coming out of the pastoral stable of regional writers. Farrow takes chances. He challenges the reader to find a new way through the highly tread traditions of Southern Gothic. A genre needy of a modern take on things.
Farrow suffers a little from poor editing, his enthusiasm sometimes getting the better of him. But the author's gift is that he never writes in an all-knowing omniscient voice merely revealing events. The central character--and Farrow's alter-ego--come across as an evolving soul searching out his place in an old society at odds with a modern world. The central conflict is personal, complemented beautifully by the architecture, mores and landscape of a very physical and romantic setting.
The Root of all Evil is not just a good read for anyone who ever visited or is planning on visiting Charleston. The book is a mental and physical romp through one of the world's most charming cities. One that has many layers and one that David knows well.
I look forward to his next effort.

I FOUND "THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL" VERY ENTERTAINING.
IT HELD MY ATTENTION, I CARED ABOUT THE CHARACTERS
AND I LEARNED ALOT ABOUT CHARLESTON, THE WAY IT USED
TO BE. FARROW DEFINATELY INSERTS HIS OWN OPINIONS
ABOUT HIS HOMETOWN AND THE WRITING PROBABLY WON'T
WIN A PULITZER-- BUT I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS
BOOK TO ANYONE WHO READS ALOT OF MYSTERY AND ENJOYS
IT. I WOULD PUT IT ON THE SAME LEVEL AS THE
PATRICIA CORNWELL SERIES OF KAY SCARPETTA NOVELS.

VAZGINO

If you've ever been to Charleston, if you've ever thought of going to Charleston, if you've ever heard of Charleston The Root of All Evil is a must read. David Farrow has captured the essence of the Holy City and combined that with a plot that doesn't allow the book to be put down.
While reading the book the reader can actually feel the culture, the sights and sounds,and the deep history of this beautiful city and the sometimes dark secrets of its people

Marelyne

In The Root of All Evil, David Farrow shows that he can put words together as well as Pat Conroy, develop characters as well as John D. McDonald, and scare the reader as well as Stephen King. Mr. Farrow is a deep thinker, and his book contains some philosophy reminiscent of Neale Donald Walsch. The book is most entertaining. I couldn't put it down and had to finish it in one sitting! I look forward to his second novel.

I remember David Farrow hawking tours as a child. He waited patiently and patiently...hoping for something that would inspired. Thank God. This story is fresh and I am truly glad that it is beginning to see over the shadow of that other book that has evil in it. Buy this book. I can only say that it will open your eyes. God Bless him that he will deliver his second novel soon.
