31 Dec '20

If Bob Abelman’s hilarious new, Cleveland-based novella ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE FRIGHT is not yet on your reading list, here are just a handful of reader reviews that have popped up on Amazon.com and Goodreads.com for inspiration. Please consider a purchase by going to www.grayco.com/coupon/neohiopal, where $5 per book is being donated to keeping NEohioPAL a free and vibrant resource for the local theater community. <https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AGVZYFYGEW3457V5G3NLPBMEJHO…> Dan B., 5.0 out of 5 stars <https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AGVZYFYGEW3457V5G3NLPBMEJHO…> This enchanting story of a theater critic given the chance to tread the boards with a professional classical theater company set in Cleveland, Ohio, is a fast paced Shakespearean romp sure to put a smile on your face. Engaging and humorous. <https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AE2DJ2PDTRRC2PSUNVQ2GWNZYAJ…> Jane S., <https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AE2DJ2PDTRRC2PSUNVQ2GWNZYAJ…> 5.0 out of 5 stars Finished reading All the Worlds a Stage Fright yesterday. Great laugh-out loud book. Already purchased two more copies for fellow theater lovers. Looking forward to the next book by Bob Abelman. <https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AERJ5Q5PJITMHDZ23WYJOSOYCYZ…> Paul C., <https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AERJ5Q5PJITMHDZ23WYJOSOYCYZ…> 5.0 out of 5 stars This book is touching and thoughtful with so many laugh out loud moments. Bravo! <https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AHCPOMDRKNZ4BJP53XFP3EVJDVE…> Angela H., <https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AHCPOMDRKNZ4BJP53XFP3EVJDVE…> 5.0 out of 5 stars This novella is warm and well-crafted and reading it felt like a conversation with an old friend. I was reminded a bit of the writing style and wordplay of Bill Bryson throughout. Funny, self-deprecating, and wickedly smart. I only wish I could read it again for the first time. Cindy E., 5.0 out of 5 stars Humorous story with Cleveland references to delight the locals and Shakespearean analysis that both fans/non-fans can appreciate. Mark C., 5.0 out of 5 stars Abelman's style is welcoming. Each chapter begins with a cleverly chosen Shakespeare quotation, a gentle reminder that we learn a lot while reading this book, though its informative richness doesn't weigh it down. Abelman draws his characters with loving detail, and relates his experiences with gently self-deprecating humor and wise insights. -- Fred Sternfeld Neohiopal Ltd.
