Review
"Beckerman's angry, vulgar, smart voice is both tempered and amplified by an almost philosophical understanding of his situation. I read this and think of Lenny Bruce, and there's little praise higher." Carrie Hill Wilner, Nerve.com

"Original. Hilarious. Well crafted and outrageous, yet with a moral compass that never quits. Parents will be shocked senseless by what they find here, but for younger readers, Marty Beckerman emerges asdare I say ita voice for a new generation." Richard Metzger

"Marty Beckerman is a tree of hope growing out of his generation's scary, vacant swamp of hormone-drenched self-absorption. No wonder he can't get laid."
