Chapter 1 had my attention, by chapter 5 this story had too much drama & too many characters for me. This story had so much going on in it it confused me. I love Keith Thomas Walker's books but this one wasn't for me.

Roving eyes, lusting hearts, badges of lies, bigotry, sexual immorality and conduct, deceit, drug abuse and just plain drama create a daily melee in the intricate workings of a hospital called Jackson Memorial. Dr. Ruben Watts is a respected doctor that woos his staff of females with his mesmerizing blue eyes, his smooth talking gift of gab, and his generous display of appreciation. Housekeeping supervisor, Brenda Turner, is sly as a fox as she strategically plots the 'takedown' of an authority figure that used her and discarded her afterwards. Material Operations can hardly maintain as Eva Valdez fiends for sex from the young playboy, Rodney, who's on a treacherous mission deemed 'stick and move'.

Keith Thomas Walker's style of writing has once more and again stepped outside the box to pen an original tale. Mr. Walker's style of writing is intriguing as his ever increasing fanbase never know what to he's gonna hit us with next. His novels can not be shelved in one category because his creativity deserves major accolades due to the diversity of each new novel. Jackson Memorial is a commendable read as it takes the reader on a soap opera ride..in the ghetto. Loved it!!! KTW, the dude with the ever changing hats and storyteller, he is an original trendsetter, mos def an originator!!! Kudo's my brotha, yo' swag is tha biznezz!!!

Keith Thomas Walker NAILED it again. Starting with the first few pages I never knew countrified folks were hilarious. With countless characters there was drama from the first to the last page. You can't determined whose story is most intriguing, you don't know who to root for (to live or die) and just when you think someone is "normal" KTW amps up the buffoonery. The star of this story is Jackson Memorial Hospital. He brings the actual reality of workplace drama to real life, got me hoping and praying I never get admitted to any hospital, least somebody's drama finds me. Aside from the backstabbing, gossiping, dope fiending, sex crazed characters of JM, this book was superbly written. With every KTW book he gets better and I fall more in love. This is a must have in your library. EXCEPTIONAL!

I knew hospitals were busy places but, OMG Jackson Memorial has a lot going on. In this story, staff is having a lot of intimate interactions. Nurses have affairs with other nurses . Security services having kinky affairs with housekeeping. Even Maintenance spreading all kinds of things with other departments.
However, Rodney seems to spreading death and insanity to some of his interactions. There is one nurse who has hit rock bottom because what her former boyfriend introduces her to. Larry is the only one that finds happiness and success their. Along the way lives are saved and lives are endangered but Jackson Memorial is a fast hospital on a lot of levels. First time reading this author but will not be my last...

This was my first book by Keith Walker and it will not be my last. The characters were written with vivid detail that me feel like I was working right there along side them.

If your looking to be entertained.... please read this title!

Well, he did it again! Keith Thomas Walker can't seem to write a bad novel to save his life. And Jackson Memorial kept me going from the moment I started. There was a bit of everything I ever wanted in a book: suspense, erotica, romance, hatred, love and lots and lots of drama. It kept me excited to the very end. Love it!

I enjoyed this read. Lots of antics among the characters. Mostly situations of basic high school behavior and such. The writing flowed well and the characters fit their role well.
