Bravo! <https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AHCPOMDRKNZ4BJP53XFP3EVJDVEQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_gw_btm?ie=UTF8> Angela H., <https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AHCPOMDRKNZ4BJP53XFP3EVJDVEQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_gw_btm?ie=UTF8> 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.
