"Having never read Lawrence Block before, I rather enjoyed this book. Was not sure where it was going or what genre to place it in ... maybe self discovery?"

" It's a bit hippity dippity and strange in places but I liked it still- probobly more so because I had read about his process of writing it in Step by Step. "

" This is a great book. It is hard to find as I believe it is out of publication. If you can find it, read it! "
— Susan, 2/12/2013 -
" Often odd and at times intense, but this book has stuck with me and changed the way I think about some things. "

" I'm a huge Lawrence Block fan, and have read dozens of his novels, but you can give this one a miss: it's weaker than the rest and quite weird. If you're just getting into Block, try the Scudder, Parker (early super-hardboiled stuff!), Rhodenbarr and Tanner series before this. "
— Tom, 10/2/2012 -
" A very different work from Block's normal fare. But appropriate for the age (a bit New Age-y). "
— Ron, 8/21/2012 -
" This is so unlike what you expect from Lawrence Block. It is a journey novel written by a middle aged man attempting to talk about the various ways we get lost and found in life. "
— Peter, 5/21/2012 -
" Another atypical Block book, this one channels some 60's hippie mysticism next to a dose of psychosis. You'll like it if it meets your particular needs for wish-fulfillment. Judged as literature, it's nothing special. "
