Though this author can write well enough, I guess nothing prepared me for the fowl twist Rhea takes. I almost put it down when she transforms, but endured through. Perhaps had I expected the tale to turn tail and go into complete fantasy similiar to Christopher Moore's books, I would have been better prepared to love it rather than just like it. But like it I did.

This book was engaging and readable. It has a fairytale, fable quality that rather caught me off guard. Once I caught on, I rolled with it and enjoyed the ride. I round this to be a light read, not exactly the "materpiece" touted by other reviewers, but it is very nice.

What a find! Levandoski is a saucy yet substantial treasure. Although the novel is reflective of the Reagan-era mindset when greed was good, accepted and even expected this brilliant little story perfectly illustrates how the important lessons of the past are quickly forgotten as we chase the false glitter of one get-rich-quick scheme to the next. And always forgetting the cost of the ones who will truly suffer and pay - all of us.

Yes it is a cautionary fable, but much fun is also to be found. Forget Keating and Reagan. Read Levandoski - and remember Calvin and his feathered daughter Reah.

Time for SERENDIPITY GREEN!

Rob Levandoski has done it again! His piquant wit hits all the marks again in his unwavering scrutiny of popular culture. He lays bare all the hypocrites and hypocrisy that cross his radar screen and carries it off in a breezy manner without meanness of spirit. His sharply defined characters evolve, his plotting is smooth yet unpredictable and his dialogue is true to life without being pedestrian. I found "Fresh Eggs" entertaining and edifying, and I look forward to reading Levandoski's next novel. He is going to be famous.
