  • Bog Man on April 02, 2010

    smashing story!
  • The American Book of the Dead on May 17, 2010
    star star star star star
    Brilliant;gritty and disturbing. Original, brave, strange- not an easy read. Made me recall Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, even though it's been years since I've read that. Imagine Midas, where what's touched turns into dreams instead of gold/ or what's dreamt turns into reality. This book deserves to be very successful.
  • We Don’t Plummet Out of the Sky Anymore on June 29, 2010

    I liked the title and kept reading, expecting an acerbic twist- the author remained consistently nice to his characters though. An enjoyable, funny story.
  • Odour of Fate on Feb. 22, 2011

    Wonderful writing; a sensory experience! The story is about obsession, full of wanton imagery and lyric language that fascinate. The attraction and repulsion create a tension that runs throughout, succeeding in keeping you engaged until the very end.
  • The Ballerina, the Gymnast, and the Yoga Master on Feb. 26, 2011

    Hilarious- as in leading to boisterous conviviality and extreme merriment!
  • You Bloggin' to Me? How the Self Illusion Trolls Us and Why Skeptics Should Care on Feb. 15, 2013

    A quick easy read that makes sense. It's viruses all the way down!
