-- "One of the most entertaining, cleverly written novels I've encountered. This is a gleefully disturbing glimpse into the feverish mind of a troubled boy-genius, drawing equally upon humor and pathos. Like the narrator, you'll rethink everything you've been told - and will probably ponder it for weeks after you put it down."
-- "A first novel unlike any other I can recall, where the consciousness of the main character may be so much more than the character itself. Part of the fun is the mind-bending question of the narrator's identity, and then there's the writing itself, filled with epigrammatic phrases and linguistic twists more consistently than anything I've read before. Breech Baby is a welcome antidote to long-but-empty, and leaves the reader with a wellspring of emotion."
--"Thank you for the pleasure the novel afforded me. It was a true delight to be in the hands of a craftsman who clearly relishes the game of words and their interplay with human fantasy, desire, emotion, and longing."
-- "I'll probably catch hell for writing this, but I couldn't help but think of Salinger's classic, "Catcher in the Rye." Okay, Holden Caulfield may be sacred ground... but there are similarities - both novels feature troubled young male protagonists who struggle with relationships, family and survival. And each is told in a subjective, first-person narration that speaks of the confusing hypocrisy-riddled world around them in a unique and often comically acerbic voice. I can't recommend this book enough - one hell of a first novel!"
-- "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."
