Editorial Reviews

Review

"This funny, wistful, and appealingly oddball book covers more ground in New Jersey than the Turnpike. It's a fitting tribute to my beloved -- and deeply misunderstood -- home state."

-- Jancee Dunn, author of But Enough About Me... --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.



Review

"This collection proves that you can go home again, because when you are from New Jersey, you never really leave."

-- Mark Sceurman, Weird N.J.

4.0 out of 5 stars who says you can't go back, November 18, 2007
By Mombo "Mombo" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This book is a series of short stories and most, if not all; will have autobiographical implications for those born and raised in the Garden State. Since each story has a different author, you have the experience of varying styles and perspectives.

1.0 out of 5 stars just okay, December 17, 2007
I had heard this authors on the radio and was looking forward to reading the collection but I was somewhat disappointed in the quality of the essays.
