Review Excerpts
"Marlo's reading
is engaging, lively, and true to character." ---AudioFile
"The serpentine
story solidifies into a captivating and original take on the strange ways of
redemption." ---Publishers Weekly
"A well-written
narrative that is both thoughtful and action-packed. Hellenga's appealing
protagonists have streaks of darkness that keep us unsettled." ---Chicago Tribune
"A melancholy
story, but it is also immensely satisfying and even uplifting in that unique
way that only deeply felt life can provide." ---Booklist Starred Review
"Three reasons
to love Hellenga: He's a fine storyteller; he gives us new eyes; he restores
our sense of wonder. Attention must be paid." ---Kirkus Starred Review
"Hellenga
mesmerizes with this brainy study of snakes and snake-handling churches, love,
independence, and, yes, even the power of timpani drumming. Another flawless
performance." ---Library Journal
