This is a collection of short stories about life. The subtitle is Observations on life from the cheap seats. I don't know about you, but that was where we always ended up sitting.
Literary Promotions and the author shared a copy of this book with me for review (thank you). It has been published and you can get a copy now. It is available as
an ebook as well as an inscribed paperback available directly from his website
at The Monkey Bellhop.com as well as via Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com.
The stories are short, almost like essays. They cover life in general and many of them are written tongue-in-cheek. I read a story here and a story there. These are to be savored in a few quiet moments to help rejuvenate your spirit, not read up and spit out.
My favorite story was the last in the book: Father's Day. It's about his father and how he never comes out and says I love you. I grew up with a father like that. Mr. Hartnett points out the way his father expresses love without words. That touched me. Many men have trouble saying those words. This story demonstrates the non-verbal signs of love.
This book has the feel of life in the past and tales you would hear during the Golden Days of Radio. I enjoyed the read and plan to share the book with my mother. Why not give it a try yourself and see if it talks to you?
Happy reading.
