Terrific ... Populated with flawed yet endearing characters trying to sort out how to get meaning from life ... A true literary novel with great characters, adventure up the wazoo, and perspective to boot.
Compelling ... A novel of hard-hitting entertainment, packed with plot twists and sharp insights ... Flawed and at times frustrating. The plot frequently outstrips the characters ... These missteps are noticeable, but Fishbach compensates for them with an abundance of authenticity and imagination ... A mad romp deserving of close study, shrewd and harrowing and full of heart.
