Wow. Wowy wow wow. Stranger Will love from Bob Pastorella

Bob Pastorella, keeper of the enviably-titled Obscuradrome blog, just posted a pants-tinglingly beautiful review of Stranger Will. Some excerpts:

Saying Stranger Will is compelling is the understatement of the year.

Quality fiction is both compelling and unpredictable. It’s also dangerous, which is why we read it. Ross writes with all of these factors in mind. From the first pages, he takes you by the hand, leading you down dark corridors where you really don’t want to go, but you’re unable to turn away. And when you look back at him, and he gives you that sly grin, you know that you have to walk the path, there is no turning back because you’re in too deep. Fiction 101 dictates we know our characters, and it’s obvious Caleb has spent a lot of time with his story people. Readers seek out this intimacy and relish the thrill when they find it. Consider yourselves warned. Caleb writes with an intelligence and depth far beyond his years, and his words will scar your heart forever.

And a bit about me, not the book, but something that made me feel extra special:

…behind Caleb’s witty commentary and massive amount of intelligence, he is also extremely serious about his writing.
