THANK YOU for this review which may well be more important to me than the actual book. Writers such as you give me a rare glimpse of hope. So just a simple thank you, Sasha.
They stand at the gate judging who is acceptable, who is to be let in and who they’ll turn away. Too late they’ll find that we aren’t standing in line anymore...that we no longer want to be let in...that we see nothing desirable inside...nothing that we want or need. They’ll see us looking at them with pity in our eyes, and they will hate us even more than they do now.
First time here. Came here via Breitbart. "It made me think about true love, about finding one person to spend your life with - something that has always (and probably will always) eluded me.; I have the wonderful happiness of meeting a wonderful lady at the ripe age of 22. Married 55 years now and still she is my number one. What a grand purpose in life to give it to another so beautiful of a lady. She is debilitated now, suffering from Alzheimer's for the last 9 years.
Thank you for the review, I’ll put it in the queue for reading.
I agree that what is considered literary fiction these days is almost unreadable. After being either bored or disgusted by several highly celebrated books, I decided to read the Pulitzer Prize winning books from the past that were available at my local library. I wasn’t sorry I did. Most were at least good to excellent, easy to find, and free!
Thank you. I can’t wait for it to become the norm again When people are sharing and passing along where to find the awesome.
I miss that so much.
Sasha. You are so right about fiction and publishing.I am a reader. I never picked up a book that I coudnt finish.
Until.
2015. After that grabbing a few books at Barnes and Noble became so challenging. I just said. This is only temporary. I refuse to put this much time and effort only to discover that It’s all just unreadable shit
It got to the point where a book what be so unbelievably stupid and so embarrassingly Nothing. So painfully obvious every sentence.
That the book didn’t even have meaning.
. It would send me into a hysterical laughing fit.
I wasn’t surprised to see where everything ended up. With out society being able to participate in the daily balance of all.
So sad for Liberls.
The very society They hate with passion and want banished. Ended up proving to be the only thing that actually kept them from destroying themselves.
How far have they fallen? And thank God so quickly.
There are a lot of things I respect and appreciate about what the liberal mind is better at than ours. There are many ways.
But deciding to try and take over the world. All by themselves has proved to be the disaster everyone knew it would be except them.
Things are happening already. I feel it. sanity is making a comeback.
I thank Larry Summers for saying enough is enough. About Harvard. And others are telling the Ivy League. Unless these schools get their shit together. We won’t be hiring any graduates to any of our companies.
all have to get back to normal And We are the
structure.
Functioning Society is.
That allows them a place where they are able to function.
Thank you for restarting the old tradition of passing. the awesome via word of mouth. I was smiling ear to ear through the whole article.
And we are so lucky to have you in our lives with all your talent and genius and good. And knowledge
Am very tired and wasn’t planning to comment. . But I had to thank you.t loved the column
Please excuse all typos and sp? Not going to reread and edit.
Best to all of you guys! And you too SashA
Here’s to promoting the interesting again. It’s way more fun.
That's good to hear that it's not political, I'll read it. I think sometimes conservatives try to overcorrect against the left, politicizing things like sports from the right. When they should just give it neutral coverage, that's what people want.

I have to agree with Anne. Your review was incredibly well done and beautifully spoken. You are a poet, Sasha…a poet!
They stand at the gate judging who is acceptable, who is to be let in and who they’ll turn away. Too late they’ll find that we aren’t standing in line anymore...that we no longer want to be let in...that we see nothing desirable inside...nothing that we want or need.

So well written and explained. Thank-you, JT.
Feeling pity is the key.
I finished this book last week. Devoured it in two days. It's a real winner. I read the ending several times as it nearly brought me to tears.
Me too. Such a great ending.
"...planet full of ass holes." That's not fiction! We're there! Where's the exit?
Amazing read. Highly recommend.

Thank you, Sasha! Been desperate for some meaningful fiction to carry me away, and your review sealed it. Ordered.
not to nit pick, but "So shines a good deed in a weary world” comes from Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice."
I bought the ebook from Barnes and Noble vs Amazon. I think they're a little less evil than Amazon.
Just downloaded it to my Kindle. Thanks for the heads-up Sasha!
