What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Wonderfully written…more than just a good beach read.” –Washington Post Book World”What gives the book a compelling edge is the characters’ self-discovery…Thankfully, Dickey goes beyond the ‘men are dogs and women are victims’ stereotype.” –USA Today

“Raw, street-savvy humor.” –Publishers Weekly

“As the title suggests, this is a book about dawgs. Not dogs, but d-a-w-g-s. Cheatin’, lyin’, no good, no-‘count, dirty lowdown mendawgs and womendawgs…You can’t read Cheaters without becoming an active participant. You easily find yourself turning a page, shaking your head, and tsk-tsking.”–Los Angeles Times

“Modern dating has become a world in which individuals play games to keep the upper hand. Eric Jerome Dickey explores these mores with verve.”–USA Today

“Each character’s voice [is] smooth, unique and genuine.”–Washington Post Book World

“Cheaters not only makes readers examine their own behavior but keeps them laughing while doing so.”–Library Journal

“His storytelling skills are first-rate.”–Detroit Free Press

“Wrenching emotion…he draws a tragic, romantic picture of love as both a panacea and a curse, an unavoidably painful pleasure.”–Durham Herald-Sun

“A generous helping of humor and a distinctly male viewpoint.”–Atlanta Journal and Constitution

“Dickey’s fourth novel easily fulfills the expectations created by his earlier work and introduces a fresh sobriety to his talent for dialogue and character…smoothly done.”–Kirkus Reviews
