5.0 out of 5 stars Much more than I had bargained for!

James—I have read many great writers in my day, including Hemingway, Rowling, London and Dickens—and none of them are better, and at least one of them is not even in your league.

I could never write as you do—I write from my own eyes and my heart; but you take an image and run with it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTIONS!

These stories touch on all levels of emotions, memories, nostalgia! Reading this book is like listening to a great story teller fireside - you don't want it to end. The writer is able to pack so much description in a compact, easily flowing manner, it's as if uhh out are IN the story. Hoping the author provides us with much more such gems in the future!

Superior writing that captivates and takes the reader upon an intense rollercoater that pulls at the heart strings, opens the imagination, and and brings bursts of laughter. This is a work of writing mastery and the reader will not want to put it down until it is completely read, and then re-read. Prine must produce more materpieces, and soon!

Mr Prine has a unique and engaging writing style, with keen insights into the human animal. He writes as if he has seen men at their best and at their worst, and conveys the emotions and imagery in a gripping style which will make the reader lose himself, for a short while, in a different time and place...

I smiled, I laughed, I cried and I soared as a night flyer while reading the author's tales. He drew me in with his style of writing. I hope he writes a sequel one day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing short story collection
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2015
Unlike anything else you've read. This collection of short stories is as imaginative and well-written as they come. Prine's style is arrestingly fresh and evocative. The stories range from nostalgic and deeply personal to wondrously fanciful and then to emotionally gripping. I would like to see Prine take up his pen again.
