Imaginary Book Reviews of My New Novel
The super-secret-never-before-published reviews of my novel, Losing Venice
After celebrating being three months old, very grateful that my new novel has amassed a small constellation of four and five star reviews — but with the right telescope, maybe you can even see these in a nearby galaxy…
I LOVE THIS BOOK!
ee cummings
I laughed. I cried. Better than Cats!
T.S. Eliot
If there’s one thing I’m not uncertain about, it’s this book!
Werner Heisenberg
More lovely and more temperate than a summer’s day!

Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when he first read this book.
Gabriel García Márquez
Like Dorian Gray, reading this book never gets old.

The female love interest in this novel was way over 18 — but I liked it anyway.

Don’t be a goddamn phony. Read this book. It’ll give you about two hemorrhages if you don’t and you’ll always regret it.

No madeleines and only one volume but still and all, a good read. Reminded me of lost of things.
