5.0 out of 5 stars Lucky Man is fun, funny and poignant, April 16, 2007

This review is from: Lucky Man (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. There's always something new, funny and adventurous happening. I laughed a lot. And I was also taken off guard a few times by unexpected moments of edgy poignancy. I loved this funny-edgy duality which Mr. Tanzer weaves throughout the story. He opens the heart with laughter, then touches it with truths and subtleties of the human experience. The ending has a wonderfully unique twist to it as well, where Mr. Tanzer shows how interconnected the characters lives really are. This first novel clearly shows how talented Mr. Tanzer is. I hope he writes more!

Great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars what a great read, March 29, 2007

This review is from: Lucky Man (Paperback)

I saw Mr. Tanzer at a reading in Chapel Hill, NC and picked up a copy of Lucky Man. I'm so glad I did! Once you get into the style of writing and the changing perspectives from one chapter to the next, you'll enjoy this fast-paced story of what it's like to be young and lost and on the brink of "growing up."

Tanzer's unique structure and writing style evokes the moodiness of adolescence that just about anyone can relate to. As his characters deal with heavy drug use, violence, issues of sexual identity, sex in general, etc, you'll find yourself remembering your own clumsy "coming of age" moments.

Great book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lucky Reader, January 6, 2008

By 

Charles "(C.)" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lucky Man (Paperback)

Anyone who takes the time to read 'Lucky Man' will consider themselves a 'Lucky Reader' to have found this new author. Mr. Tanzer has a gift for painting story, dialog and characters...but instead of using a brush, he paints with words.

If you value original thought, please buy this book.

I did, and honestly...I couln't put it down.

I am one 'lucky man' to have found such an enjoyable story.
