Smashwords book reviews by Anonymous-9

  • Alexander Murphy's Home for Wayward Celebrities on March 31, 2014

    Richly descriptive, peopled with quirky, unusual characters, Josh Karaczewski's big (111,000 words!) novel is an intense journey for readers. With an almost surrealist eye, the author imbues even mundane items and settings with personality and humor. Fans of Tom Robbins may gobble this one up with relish. (And little mustard.)
