"Breezy, sharp...ÝBoswell¨ could not write a bad story if he tried...one killingly funny observation after another...startlingly strong."
--"Boston Review"
"Boswell Ýis¨ a fine, expressive writer...with a light hand and a virtuoso touch....The momentum of the book is so strong that the Ýfinal¨ story seems...even mythic in the end."
--"The Washington Post"
"A Southern experience with a universal charm that we all can relate to."
--"Macon Magazine"
"Boswell's Bildungsroman is quintessentially American and his protagonist, beginning at age 14, is one of the most charming characters one is likely to meet in contemporary fiction. This novel-made-of-stories is a little Fitzgerald, a little Salinger, and a little Updike, all seasoned with a Southern sensibility that is unique and totally satisfying."
--Corey Mesler, Burke's Book Store, Memphis, TN ("Book Sense" 76 May/June 2003)
"Demonstrates verbal prowess from its opening lines."
--Newsday
"A humorous ascent into manhood...that is both funny and endearing to anyone who remembers life and the music behind the 1970s and 1980s."
--"Booklist"
"Boswell imbues this debut collection with infectious energy....The dialogue is brisk and clever, and Parker himself is reasonably complex, a young man on the make who slowly gains some measure of insight and maturity."
--"Publishers Weekly"
"Hilarious....Boswell writes perceptive stories--tales that anyone ever baffled by females can understand and enjoy even while being slightly uncomfortable with one's own folly in such matters. Many of these stories have a connection to rock music and how it relates to our growing up and our musical taste. They are allthe more enjoyable for that connection."
--"Richmond Times-Dispatch"
"It's Parker Hayes's world, though Boswell's sneaky skill is such that, every time I stopped laughing long enough to wipe my eyes, I began to wonder with growing dread if it might be my world too...charming."
--"Atlanta Journal-Constitution"
"Sharp and clever....Boswell seems well on the way to a career as a literary comic worth watching."
--"Sunday Star-News" (Wilmington, NC)?
