Customer Reviews

This guy can write!

One of the best books I've ever read, and I've read billions. The prose just sings. I was here buying his other two novels and happened to see that the average customer review for "Air" was only two stars. Well, don't listen to them! This writer has an exquisite gift with words that is rarer than hen's teeth (I obviously don't have the gift, but like Solieri, I sure recognize it when I see it.) Buy this book!
