The super-secret-never-before-published reviews of my novel, Losing Venice

Losing Venice, a novel by Scott Stavrou — In the News

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!
