Chronogram:
"It’s a feast of food for thought, a richly imagined reality that looks much like our own would if we could really see it. Robison has a lyrical and evocative style and a deep affection for human foibles, and wandering through the maze he has woven is oddly intoxicating. "  Read more...

POD People:
"I can't really express how much I enjoyed this book. I love experimental storytelling, and I love spiraling interconnected narratives. You definitely get both in this book, from traditional tales of woe and hope, to Aesop's fable styled flash fiction, but no matter the technique, the writing is uncomplicated and yet extraordinarily aware of its surroundings. The stories are crafted so subtly that even the most interpretive reader will find them thought-provoking and challenging…. The collection really begged the question: Hope? Is it really genuine or is it something we invent as a way to justify our acceptance...." Read more...

Self-Publishing Review:
"Overall, it’s a collection of very strong writing – thoughtful, full of vivid imagery, sorrowful at times, but never self-pitying. The Lost Symbol it is not, but it’s subtle and moving in a way that Dan Brown dreams of being."  Read more...

Fearless Reviews:
"This poignant collection of interwoven short stories yearns for true interconnectedness even while expressing the intense loneliness inherent to human individuality….  This is a beautifully written, thoughtful collection well worth reading." Read more...

Woodstock Times:
"It's a great first book…. Some of the stories rise to memorable slices of life, and the overall breadth of the characters engaged, and the types of experience worked through, show a true humanist's heart at work.  Moreover, the use of a fractured story structure, where characters, actions and similar reactions come together over time, lend the overall work the tragic air of great epics, with people doing all they can to escape fate's plans for them; and yet also the bittersweet quality we recognize in the best comedies, where folks keep pressing on, no matter what pushes them back."  Read more...(scroll down)

Ned White, Moonbeam Award winning author (Amazon Customer Review):
"Brent Robison's superbly crafted collection of short stories doesn't shy away from its central thesis – that we are all crosswired with each other in ways both obvious and finely nuanced. Some of these intersections are collisions of circumstance (think the movies Magnolia or Crash) that seem coincidental but really aren't. Others are the shared pains and longings and failings that identify us all as humans, but here again there's something larger and more ineffable at work linking characters in different stories. Buddhists, Jungians, and even quantum theorists would have a field day with the output of Robison's imagination."  Read more...
