Reviews

Making Love:

"Mr. Bogner's characters are riotously alive and keep our interest to the last, not only because he has such a swooping eye for detail and idiosyncrasies, but because he pities people who pursue and fail to understand why it disappoints them."
Birmingham Post

Spanish Fever:

"Moments of comic inspiration."
The London Observer

"Outragerous philandering and earthy humour..."
Current Literature

The Madonna Complex:

"Mr. Bogner's people claw themselves and each other to death and he describes their progress in thick powerful prose. It is a work of highly individual talent."
The Times Literary Supplement

"A sexy book...all the pathos, greed and grief, longing and impatience, holiness and obscenity, depravity and creativity of human sexuality...an exquisite and moving, terrifying and haunting multifaceted novel."
Chicago Tribune

"A ruthless billionaire tycoon is driven to possess a beautiful but flawed younger woman with a mind of her own in this psychodrama. Although Teddy Franklin casually buys and sells S&P 500 companies, he is stymied by Barbara Hickman, with whom he is completely obsessed...[An] engrossing tale, furnished with explicit sex scenes....long on atmosphere...plays on fantasies of high stakes living in the moneyed circles of New York."
Publishers Weekly, July 17, 2000

"An entertaining tale centering on the potential destructiveness of obsession. The story line is more of a character study than a thriller as Norman Bogner provides a deep look into Teddy and Barbara’s thought processes and inner gut emotions. Graphic sex scenes...add to the overall feel of the reader being an observer...the obsession which is the main story line brilliantly works, leading to a fabulous absorbing look at extreme behavior."
Harriet Klausner, BookBrowser

Honor Thy Wife:

"This intricately plotted novel of family intrigue and ungovernable desire has all the ingredients for a compelling beach read: sex, love, lies, betrayal, hatred, revenge, threats of murder and eventual wish-fulfillment for an all-American guy...[A]ll the threads are satisfyingly tied up."
Publishers Weekly, July 12, 1999

"Honor Thy Wife...works because Norman Bogner instills flaws, traits, and motives into his prime characters...[W]hat makes Mr. Bogner's novel a necessary read for fans of relationship dramas is the conversations between the protagonists as truths are revealed. Much gentler than To Die In Provence, this novel will receive honors for a well-written story."
Harriet Klausner, BookBrowser

"A highly involved [novel] whose title's irony is clear when criminal lawyer Terry Brett shows himself willing to honor both of his wives...Good storytelling."
Kirkus Reviews

7th Avenue:

"Norman Bogner has created characters who are real, capable of being loved, hated, pitied, and above all, believed. His work is about hunger and passion, sex and love, hatred and revenge, pity and disgust, dissipation and nobility. It is life."
