Perhaps the best praise for any novel is that it seems so real the reader feels as if she or he were right there, witnessing the events. This is exactly what Joe Samuel Starnes, author of the acclaimed novel Fall Line, has to say about MR. BOARDWALK:
"Like a world-class juggler, Louis Greenstein’s Mr. Boardwalk pulls off the impressive feat of handling several things at once: His debut novel is a heartfelt bildungsroman, a story of a man coming to terms with his complicated youth, and a vivid novel of place. The depiction of 1970s-era Atlantic City is particularly well crafted, marking Greenstein as a writer with a keen eye for the ocean-side resort in the years just before casinos came calling. Although I grew up in Georgia and never visited the Jersey shore before the new millennium began, this novel makes me feel as if I was there, circa 1975, eating a soft pretzel on the boardwalk."
The Kindle e-book is available on Amazon now (click here). The paperback is due out on June 3, 2014.
