We've seen an occasional "rave review" before, but Sand Pilarski's article on MR. BOARDWALK in The Piker Press must qualify as an uber-rave, if there is such a thing:

"Being an editor, I read a lot. Being an avid reader, I read even more. Mr. Boardwalk is easily the best book I have read in years. Louis Greenstein weaves this story flawlessly back and forth in Jason's life, from his troubled adult life to his childhood, from his secrecy to the memories of his teen years, both the treasured and the heart-breaking. Though I've never been to the boardwalk in Atlantic City, I could nearly feel the texture of the boards under my feet as I read, smell the hot pretzels and fudge and suntan lotion....

"This was a book that I didn't save for bedtime reading; I carried it with me from room to room to dip into any time I had the chance; by halfway through I just hid in my studio and read until the book was done, unwilling to spend any more time away from it. I wished I could have lived Jason's summers on the boardwalk, talked with his friends, followed their stories for another six books at least."
