A Jersey Gem,
By Eric Savage (Short Hills, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fresh Jersey: Stories from an Altered State (Paperback)
Mike Kelly is the Jimmy Breslin of New Jersey, a writer with a deft touch who can portray the human side of issues, politics, and other areas where people become statistics or political rallying points. This is a wonderful collection of pieces displaying Kelly's empathetic touch. New Jersey receives a ton of bad press, but Kelly manages to portray the diversity, humor and underlying heart and toughness of the state in a way which blows the stereotypes out of the water. Highly recommended.

Took me Home,
By Daniel Kennedy (Davis, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fresh Jersey: Stories from an Altered State (Paperback)
I left Jersey twenty-five years ago, but the characters and places in Fresh Jersey brought it all warmly to life for me. There's a world view from the ground in NJ that becomes more clear after living on the other coast, and it springs to life in these pages. My personal favorite column was about the shad fisherman in the Hudson River. This is great stuff to give someone in the other 49 states who hails from NJ. Mine's going to another Jersey ex-pat.
