Reviews

[Chris Via]

Well, it's my own book so I've read it enough to be a little sick of it.

[Eric Holbrook · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was awesome. It was really enjoyable and I read it in one sitting. I liked all the chapters but if I were to pick a favourite I'd be hard-pressed to choose between the one about the guy on the plane and the last chapter, Bergmann's Lamplighters. There's some really beautiful writing in here.
