On Rise of the Cajun Mariners: The Race for Big Oil:
“Cajun Mariners is not fiction, but reads as smoothly and colorfully as a fully conceived novel and with the same level of satisfaction.... (Falgoux) extracts a degree of candor that is both startling and refreshing.... Good fiction requires that the reader inhabit the characters. It is a deft and intuitive writer who can pull this off in nonfiction.... As a business primer, Cajun Mariners should be required reading. Drawing on ingenuity and determination, these four families created a worldwide industry. With nothing more than street smarts, or shall we say swamp smarts, these gutsy men repeatedly cleared obstacles.”
-Scott Naugle, Biloxi SunHerald
"Filled with tales of Cajun ingenuity and wit, the book delights. "
-New York Times Regional Newspapers
"While Falgoux's book doesn't omit the darker side of dealing with big oil and doing politics in Louisiana, it contains enough sly Cajun stories to entertain anyone."
-Reese Vaughn, The Victoria Advocate
"Lavish detail…as much a Cajun history as a business story around four Cajun men…a complete portrait."
-Greg Langley, Baton Rouge Advocate
“A good book opens up an entire world to the reader. Cajun Mariners does that and more—it opens your mind to a kind of life few of us know anything about. It puts you out in the Gulf facing a hurricane, and it puts you on the Mississippi River in a fog so thick it blankets sounds, and it’s about men working in the field create new technology. In the end it’s about guts and how a way of life changed.”
-John M. Barry, author of Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America
“Peppered with true-life anecdotes of oilfield life, by oilfielders themselves, Rise of the Cajun Mariners is a one-of-a-kind glimpse into the lives touched by the industry as well as the industry itself.”
-Midwest Book Review
On One Dream: The NFL:
"If you ever wanted to understand the very essence of professional football, to understand what drives the men who nearly shatter their bodies for this game, it is a book you should read."
- Les Carpenter, Seattle Times
"A good reporter, Falgoux writes in an informal, attractive style"
-William Curran, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Falgoux digs beneath the trenches and reveals intimate details."
-Jim Beseda, The Oregonian
"This is an original -- and gritty -- project...It's a story of the human spirit. Its message is to remind us of the dreams idealistic young men can dream, and what a brutal business professional sports really is."
- Marty Mulé, The Times-Picayune
On The Miracle of St. Genevieve: Vatican II and the Victory of Faith:
"Extraordinary...Regardless of your faith, you can relate to the story told...Inspirational."
-Mark Lardas, Galveston Daily News
"The Miracle of St. Genevieve is enjoyable reading because it is a good story, told in the style of an experienced story-teller…by itself it captures the church in which millions of Catholics were formed and transformed, searched and struggled, and with which they eventually connected or from which they walked away.
- Brian T. Olszewski, Catholic News Service
"The Miracle of St. Genevieve is...choice...for anyone looking for an inspirational read.”
- Carl Logan, Midwest Book Review
"The Miracle of St. Genevieve is an informative narrative of grass-roots Catholicism in action in all of its trials and tribulations....and of the undaunted faith of the parishioners in good times and bad."
- Reverend John W. O'Malley, S.J., author of What Happened at Vatican II and University Professor at Georgetown University
