      October 07, 2008: You know I could go into a whole spiel about how brilliant of an author I find Ms. Bates to be. How she manages to spin plots that keep the story alive and flowing. How her words so poetic flow like music, how she holds the readers attention from the very first sentence. I could say all those things, but I'm not. What I will say... 'Brandi Bates keep doing the damn thang!' Brilliant story telling, true to life characters, A novel with integrity, you will not be disappointed. This is a must read. This is was a very entertaining book that kept my attention from start to finish. I found myself not wanting it to end. The characters seemed to come to life on paper. I look forward to Ms. Bates next book. Great book!

      July 07, 2008: Intense, unpredictable, and instantly engaging... Recounted in visceral, kinetic prose, and crafted with a forthrightness that rejects piety, cynicism, and self-pity, it brings us face-to-face with a provocative new understanding of the nature of love, sex, betrayal, and the great unknown. an uncommonly genuine account of a life destroyed and a life reconstructed. It is also the introduction of a bold and talented literary voice. Starkly honest and mincing no words, Our acerbic narrator conveys urgency and youthful spirit with an angry, clinical tone and some initially off-putting prose tics--irregular paragraph breaks, unpunctuated dialogue, scattered capitalization, few commas--that ultimately create striking accruals of verisimilitude and plausible human portraits. Startling, at times pretentious in its self-regard, but ultimately breathtaking.
