Critics Review
The Star-Ledger(Newark, New Jersey) [P]age-turning storytelling….Don’t even bother to crack this book unless you have some time on your hands. It’s that hard to put down.

Sometimes appalling, but full of deep human pity.The Star-Ledger (Newark, New Jersey) [P]age-turning storytelling….Don’t even bother to crack this book unless you have some time on your hands. It’s that hard to put down.
