-- "BREECH BABY" is a quick yet deep read. Is that an oxymoron? Mr. Ryan with his wit and delightful writing style at once can make you smile and then gasp. HIs ability to play with paradox is integral to the fabric of this intriguing story. Bravo... it's been a long time since I've read anything as inventive. I'm looking forward to reading more of his work."
-- "I chose a 5 star rating because "BREECH BABY" reminded me of how much I enjoy reading a good book. Is is too late to start keeping New Years resolutions ? I'm going to start reading more books like this one !  Very creative and original. People that like to read good creative writing will enjoy this book. I tend to read in spurts, and every time I picked Breech Baby back up, I was happy that I had."

-- "Wonderfully different way to tell this story. Freud meets PJ O’Rourke. If this one was dusted off and brought down out of the attic, we can only hope the author gets back in the attic and brings a couple more to us."
-- "This is an extraordinary book. It's sharp and tender and full of soul. The author's love of language makes every sentence feel like its own short story, so the book feels like total immersion from start to finish -- and the ending really took me by surprise. For anyone who has a family that doesn't totally fit their heart and mind, you will love this story."
