Hi all,
I don't go around posting every reader review, but I received one yesterday for
Besserwisser: A Novel that's well-written and informative for readers:
Ron Edison (Glen Ellyn, IL):
"(5 stars) Gut gemacht!
The title caught my attention (I majored in German), but I was hesitant seeing that there seemed to be no publisher behind it. The price was right, the reviews encouraging, and worst case, I figured it would have a place on my `shelf of shame' where I keep bad books as a source of inspiration for our writers' workshops. Initially, Gordy was a difficult protagonist to get behind, but I was once the only American in an office of eight Austrians and Germans and readily identified with his situation. I won't rehash the plot, but the story is very well written, an offbeat, dark comedy with a touch of suspense and I found myself quickly engaged. It reminded me somewhat of Thomas Berger's Reinhart trilogy. (CRAZY IN BERLIN is the first.) BESSERWISSER is not as wacky as Christopher Moore or as absurd as John Kennedy Toole's CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES, but if you lean toward literate, witty writers, you may well enjoy this. I did, and even ordered his other two Kindle titles."

Happy reading,
