<p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:right;">The novel has a strange epic feel about it. Like something huge is happening, I’m not sure how he does it, but you get the emotion that someone is really trying to <em>live</em>.</p><p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:right;">-Noah Cicero, author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Best-Behavior-Noah-Cicero/dp/0984603778"><em>Best Behavior</em></a></p> <p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:right;">There is a particular intimacy that the protagonist lets the reader in on, and I sense it in his ever so slight insecurities, a flaw that you know how to write quite well without being overtly overbearing.</p><p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:right;">-Lavinia Ludlow, author of <a href="http://www.casperianbooks.com/catalog/1-934081-29-9.html"><em>alt.punk</em></a></p> <p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:right;">Powered by a rich kind of nonlinear anti-narrative, Davidson weaves and cajoles us into believing that reality can be fiction and fiction reality, but more importantly, to stop looking for the border that divides the two.</p><p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:right;">-Jennifer Thompson, Black Heart Magazine</p><p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:right;">An interesting read no matter how you slice it.</p><p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:right;">-Adam S, <a href="http://austinist.com/"><em>Austinist</em></a></p><p style="padding-left:10px;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17073" title="scott mcclanahan" src="http://theopenend.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/scott.jpg" alt="" height="31" width="82" /><br /> -Scott McClanahan, author of <em><a href="http://hollerpresents.com/scottstories.html">Stories IV!</a></em></p>
