-- "BREECH BABY" is brilliant. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. It's about nature, science and our nonsensical world – how superficial our lives have become. It's a book that is bravely written by someone with interesting ideas about humanity, expressed through a complicated, engaging character. I am 90 years old and I am so glad I had the opportunity to read this before I die! I'm impressed and refreshed by this writer's courage."
-- "BREECH BABY" takes you on a journey of mind and spirit, the pain of alienation and longing, and our fundamental need to feel like we belong. Ed Ryan is a fresh new voice in the literary world. He has developed one of the most complex and delightful characters I've ever read. I'm on my third time reading it and it still surprises me! Forget what you think you know, strap yourself in and go for the ride!"
-- "It's funny that way, time. The more you take, the less you have." Just one of the brilliantly memorable quotes from "BREECH BABY: A Novel". Ed's masterful use of language and wordplay makes this innovative and interesting story an absolute treat to read. I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates true wit. Ed is a genuine wordsmith!"
-- "An awesome read! Ed's use of imagery, metaphor and time make for an engaging adventure of a young boy's journey to adulthood, with many clever twists along the way. The authenticity of each character's persona is what personally made this book hard to put down. A beautifully written narrative that takes you through a world of alluring, descriptive imagery, along with quirky, little interruptions from the story, where the narrator even throws in his two cents on the topic at hand. Funny and clever, I very highly recommend this book."
-- "This is an unconventional novel that flows like an extremely spontaneous and funny conversation, but you can imagine the twinkle in the character (author's) eye, as there is so much behind the witty banter. Wide ranging, it is at times political, philosophical, contemporary, silly and thoroughly original."
-- "This is a novel is for anyone who grew up asking themselves, "who am I really, and where do I belong?"; only to discover the answers through the caring AND careless individuals who helped cultivate their character. The brief chapters give pause to ponder; and want for more. The last ten chapters are truly engaging."
-- "LOVED IT!!!!!!!!! A different kind of read that kept me wanting more. Thanks for my favorite summer read, Ed!!"
