RaveAirmailAt nearly 400 pages dense with historical, biographical, and scientific detail, The Mission is not a quick read. That said, Brown is a nimble, gifted writer, downright Dickensian in his pointed descriptions and irreverent humor. His affection for the science and personalities that populate his tale is clear from the first page ... Brown’s language drew me in to the world of interplanetary science and made me a part of it.
Kerri Arsenault
RaveAir Mail... a rich, rewarding read that defies easy categorization. Arsenault’s writing spans memoir and reference, narrative nonfiction and investigative journalism. Accordingly, her language meanders stylistically, flowing languorously from exposition to personal narrative and back again ... What we, the readers, are left with...is time well spent in a story well told. Despite the gravity of its subject, Mill Town is, at its heart, a love letter to the people and places of Arsenault’s childhood and a plea for a cleaner, brighter future.
Jennifer Finney Boylan
PositiveAir MailGood Boy is so much more than a mere \'dog book\' ... Boylan is a skilled writer of both fiction and nonfiction, but she writes Good Boy in an especially confident voice. Her narrative travels great distances between ages, stages, and dogs; she zigs, then zags, chasing down one memory before changing direction to pursue another ... Patient readers will be rewarded for sticking with Boylan, for just when you think you’ve lost sight of her point, she slows her pursuit, lingering on moments so beautiful and true they demand to be read twice ... a delightful, challenging read, and a lovely addition to Boylan’s body of work.
