David Sanchez davidsnchz02ca — “Never Shake Hands With a War Criminal,” besides being filled with the high level of “take-no-prisoners” humor one would expect from Barry Crimmins, is also a cri de coeur. (“NOUN: An impassioned outcry, as of entreaty or protest.”) It is a wail against the center not holding, at our own lives being filled with ghosts, and the places we come from, the places that shaped, or mis-shaped us…disappearing. It is the voice of sanity, even as it is delivering unrelenting broadsides against those who would suck joy out of life, and betray, in Barry Crimmins’ powerfully and expertly argued view, what is truly the “American Way.” There is also a great depth of feeling that comes off the page; I think people who know Barry first as a "comedy-guy" are going to be surprised--pleasantly--by the wide-range of emotion in chapters like the one on Chris Bracken, and "Surfing the Niagara." And of course there is the political comedy--naturally. Reading Barry’s work, I kept wishing I could hear him jam with the late Bill Hicks, who once said that the job of the comedian in our culture is to be the one who stand at the side while consensus forms, and says ‘wait a minute.’ Barry Crimmins does that, with a passion that makes him an important voice in dangerous times. or, a dangerous voice in important times…

Dieimerson Vieira dieimersond — I wavered a lot when choosing a rating for this book. The dialogue is fantastic and I love the pace of the book. It's very snappy and fun -- like Jennifer Crusie without the overt humor and comedy of Crusie, but definitely the pacing and back and forth between the characters. I liked Josh. He was a good hero with believable and solid faults that I felt didn't magically go away, but that he is working on. My problem was the heroine. Every time Josh asked her to NOT follow him, not come with him on part of the mission she entrusted him with, there she was. It wasn't so much TStupidTL, but TStubbornTL. I recognize that she cares for her nephew, but it just started to annoy me. I did like the resolution of the book. I wasn't sure how the nephew would play out and I'm glad Dimon took the hard way out. It made the book more interesting. This was my first Dimon and I will read her again.

Allison Campbell _llison_ampbell — The Comedy of Errors is perfect, but it is perfection of a low order. In this early play, Shakespeare sets out to master the complex mechanisms and simple humor of farce, and succeeds completely. It is enjoyable and well-crafted--like a really good episode of The Beverly Hillbillies or Three's Company--and represents an important early step on Shakespeare's journey as an absolute master of drama in all its forms.
