Review

Just came across this review of ATGiB:  http://www.hackwriters.com/brooklyn.htm

Here's a snippet:

The novel is a total masterpiece. At almost 500 hundred pages there is not a thing I’d cut- not a chapter, paragraph, sentence, nor word. It is a work of fiction the equal of Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, and some other great works like John Steinbeck’s The Grapes Of Wrath, Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend, Charles Johnson’s Oxherding Tale, and the best of Kurt Vonnegut and William Kennedy. In fact, it might be the best of the bunch.

  Carol and Cora Lee, ready to share their remarkable insights (and wondering how they, too, can use chopsticks as hair ornaments).

Cory, still a little high from the heavenly scent of Jack's cinnamon rolls.

Stacey settles in for a lively conversation or is that just the wine talking?

                        

The group, with Snape about to provide much needed levity.

Oh, that Snape is such a card!

The bottle has not yet been consumed and will be carefully transported to the group's next meeting:
