<span style="font-family:georgia, serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;">&quot;...a brilliant and stunningly original work, by far the best novel I read in 2008.&quot; <br />- <a href="http://www.alternativereel.com/includes/cult-fiction/display_review.php?id=00067" style="color:#666600;">Alternative Reel</a> <br /><br />&quot;as authentic as they come, experimental without trying to be intentionally obscure, dark without making you doubt humanity, smart and energetic. In short, it’s great writing.&quot; <br />&quot;...it’s about obsession, self-negation, love, even God (“The Everything”), making Broken Bulbs an entirely unique take on a subject. It’s a science fictional, hard-boiled, poetic vision of drug addiction and hamsters (read it!) A great addition to a genre that has never existed before.&quot; <br />- <a href="http://www.selfpublishingreview.com/2009/02/01/broken-bulbs-by-eddie-wright/" style="color:#666600;">Self-publishing Review</a> <br /><br />&quot;...this slim volume is the bastard child of Memento and William S Burroughs, absolutely not for the faint of heart nor for anyone seeking a nice, simple beach read.&quot; <br />- <a href="http://www.cclapcenter.com/2009/03/book_review_broken_bulbs_by_ed.html" style="color:#666600;">Jason Pettus, The Chicago Center for for Literature and Photography</a> <br /><br />&quot;An existentialist’s dream, the author has dug in deep and laid bare the raw emotion so candidly that we can actually feel the futility, the desperation, and the humour.&quot; <br /><br />&quot;Philip Dick would be proud.&quot; <br />- <a href="http://podpeep.blogspot.com/2009/01/review-broken-bulbs.html" style="color:#666600;">POD People</a> </span><div><span style="font-family:georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size:12px;line-height:18px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size:12px;line-height:18px;">&quot;...the absolute perfect spot-on portrait of the mind of an addict.&quot; <br />&quot;The first chapter alone is a nauseating churn of short choppy staccato sentences, random thoughts and actions, that read like beat poetry at a slam.&quot; <br />&quot;The whole thing is filled with crazy quips and one liners worthy of a high lighter so you can memorize and use them later.&quot; <br />- <a href="http://llbookreview.com/2008/09/review-34-broken-bulbs-by-eddie-wright/" style="color:#666600;">The LL Book Review</a> <br /><br />&quot;...strangely complex and fascinating.&quot; <br />- <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8va2F5ZXRyb3V0LmJsb2dzcG90LmNvbS8yMDA4LzA1L2Jyb2tlbi1idWxicy1ieS1lZGRpZS13cmlnaHQuaHRtbA==" style="color:#666600;">Kaye Trout's Book Reviews</a><br /></span></span></div>
