Reviews:
“It’s interesting in seeing the portrayal of a character, so oblivious to his own shortcomings, failings and faults. On the surface Cal is the kind of guy you ought to hate. He’s vain, self-centred, unaware of the needs of others in any kind of relationship with him, immune to criticism, as well as having a short temper and a tendency to overindulge with alcohol. He’s a proper man-child. Not so much that he can’t learn from his mistakes; it’s more a – ‘what mistake?’ attitude, but he’s really, really likable. I don’t know how Scalise had him not coming off as a total douchebag, but he pulled it off… Overall, I really liked this one. I was entertained throughout, with a few giggles and some pause for self-reflection as well. Some of Cal’s failings, mistakes and the casual hurts inflicted invoked memories of times I’ve been less than thoughtful in how I’ve treated others in my life. A bit of naval gazing sometimes can be good for the soul.”
– Colman Keane, “Col’s Criminal Library” (4.5 stars)
I LOVED this! …I could relate to the set up of the characters age, the places, events and locations – was easily able to picture scenes in my mind as I was reading. Slow but easy pace and I had to keep reading to see what would happen next. Following Cal and getting to know him is a fun ride not to be missed. While some of it hit that OMG did he really do that funny, other parts just kept you smiling throughout the story and beyond. The road trip to redemption keeps the reader going and brings it all together with the drama and emotion. Dramatic, funny, a little sad, and joyous for the ending – I could see Cal finally walking with his head up. This read brought it all out – from happy to cringe to that satisfactory smile at the end. A wonderful read that I could not put down!
