I found the characters wacky and weird, but now I know why they had to be. (satire/parody) One of only a few recent reads that made me take a step back and think, especially with Joshua. Pass it on. ~ Amir Subba

I recently read Trinkets in Love’s Lost and Found by Donald Crowe. I knew Crowe was a very good writer by the way that his clever use of words grabbed my attention just pages into his book. He crafts fascinating, quirky characters in a way that very much reminds me of John Irving’s work. I enjoyed the book from start to finish and am keeping my eyes open for his next offering. ~ David Seale BA, MSW, RSW

Whimsical, fanciful, but driven with solid writing . . . now I know why there’s an animal in the boy’s eye on the front cover. ~ Scott Branson
