Attic Access is a brisk and thought-provoking journey through the tortured mind of a man confronted with his past failings, present challenges, and ultimately, nothing less than mankind's eternal place in the universe. Attic Access asks hard questions and offers no simple answers. The novel commands your attention and reflection through humor and unapologetic bluntness. The easily offended will easily be offended. Attic Access works at the gut level-clear and aggressive in challenging many of the most accepted and comforting notions of what faith brings to, and takes from, our struggling world. You may nod your head in agreement or shake your fist in anger, but Attic Access will hold onto you as you travel from one man's closet ceiling through to the darkest corners of the mind and soul.

A Disturbing Little Book,
By
This review is from: Attic Access (Paperback)
You've heard stories referred to as a "Psychological Thriller." This is "Philosophical Horror." It's well written, nicely paced, and very quirky. It reminds me of some of H. P. Lovecraft's more subtle pieces in ways that are hard to explain.
Be warned that the book has some very strong language, some disturbing imagery, and something to offend almost everyone. On the other hand, the author has a gift for saying things in a way that feels more blunt than malicious. My biggest complaint is the quality of the printing, which seems a bit blurry or pixilated on alternate pages. It's still perfectly readable, just a bit annoying. I'm not sure if this is a problem with every copy, or just mine.

One Man's Journey,
This review is from: Attic Access (Paperback)
Novel is written with an ear for real speech and an accurate eye for real people. Mr Battaglia asks the age-old questions as he looks at his place in today's society. We all wish we had the answers. Book is very honest and thought provoking and I am looking forward to seeing where he goes next.

Attic Accesss,
This review is from: Attic Access (Paperback)
An interesting book which reflects an obvious contemplation of the nature of man's need for a god figure. Mr. Battaglia proves that he's done his reading on the subject and articulates his case well. The book shows real promise for the future, when hewill give voice to perhaps a better vehicle than Thunk. But then, what shape would anyone give to the balancer of the universe. Perhaps the image of jello is as good a vehicle as something more subtle. Perhaps it reflects the author's sense of humor or irony. The narrative is left open for continued reflection from this dealer of "consequences". I'd be interested to see where Mr. Battaglia leads him.
