(I posted a comment on this earlier, but it didn’t take! Phooey!)

I got picked to review this book too and I was really looking forward to it. When the deadline approached and I still hadn’t received my copy, I frantically e-mailed Marjorie and she did what she could, but I never got my book and so could not review it. I think the publishers don’t like sending books to people who don’t live in the U.S. Double phooey.

You did a fine job on your review — better than I could have done — so I can’t imagine the publishers will be too heartbroken that they missed out on me. Triple phooey…

I want half of your writing talent and brain power. I envy your mind in that you can really dig deep into things to pull out meanings that people like me would never see or find.

You would make an excellent author because of your multi-dimensional thinking and ability to tell a story.

So, until you become a famous author, I will just have to read the books you suggest because I trust your judgment. This book will definitely top my list. It sounds like there is a lot of depth and maybe even gives us a chance to learn something.

Were the office politics important to the story? I think the relationships, including the salesman’s personality type, were important. Fascinating book!

If this is anywhere near as well done as Strauss’ previous book, Chang and Eng, (and you make it sound as if it is) sign me up…

[...] All Rileyed Up says, “Strauss has turned out a beautiful novel about a family and a doctor’s pains, and their attempts to live through them, only to have fingers pointed and the looming words of race and religion, the general slap in the face that America has unfortunately delivered in the past. Interesting read. Thanks, Darin, for the food for thought.” [...]
