REVIEWS
"Jeffrey Hatcher can hardly open his mouth or lift his pen without dropping a dry witticism or an erudite bon mot" ~ TheTangential.com
"Plenty of laughs and a goodly amount of fun " ~ TwinCities.com
"Light and smart[with a] compelling protagonist [who is] out of touch with people and out of his own time, both of which are mined for a great deal of comedy" ~ TwinCitiesDailyPlanet.net
