Summary: Literary Ecstasy in the Great Garden
Review: "The Garden of Easton" is a fine example of modern literature at its best. Straying from the pretentious, outdated works of years past, 'Easton' strives to provide the reader with a fresh, accurate portrait of modern society. Nedelman, the author of this opus, beautifully brings out the best in Curt, the protagonist, as he struggles against his own harsh existence. It was a great pleasure reading about the trials and tribulations of the young Curt Garland, as he overcame the obstacles which most would take for granted. When many would give up, Garland rises to the occasion. When faced with the ultimate offer (from none other than Lucifer himself), Garland must decide what is more important: his sanctified being, or absolute pleasure.... Read this novel and find out for yourself; you will not be disappointed. Why only 4 stars? Nedelman is clearly a new writer, and 'Easton' is his first published work. Unfortunately, despite the tremendous nature of the novel, his inexperience shines through as we experience some flaws which would normally be absolved. Nedelman strives for only the best, and he is extremely talented, but the weakness is there, barely accenting the superb content within. Cheers, and enjoy! --Zack Linowitz, Village Voice

Summary: When Can We See the Next Installment?
Review: I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. I am a huge Stephen King/Dean Koontz fan and was skeptic about reading a book from such a young author. The very first page changed my mind. It was an incredibly fast read, I couldn't put it down. I finished it in about two days and have been eagerly awaiting the second book. A must read for anyone who enjoys suspense and a thrill ride!

Summary: Brilliant Young Writer
Review: What promise we see as Mr. Nedelman writes his first novel. It is interesting, provocative, and is written with passion and insight not usually evidenced in a first novel!
