Well I received reviews from people who have received copies of “It’s Never Over When It’s Over”. So far they’ve been generally positive with some interesting comments and reactions. One came from a former Navy pilot who said he couldn’t put the book down, but it was more of experience for him, rather than what he would call a read. From what he said it sounded like he had similar experiences.
There were two telephone calls from someone who rarely reads fiction. The first when he was at page 135 when he said he had been really moved. Tears – laughter – sadness. He called later that day to say he finished the novel and he couldn’t remember the last time he read through a book he couldn’t put down. Among other things he said, “You tell one hell of a story” He really made my day.
Another reader said she appreciated the way it was written but the story was very disturbing. She had been through the horrors of WW2 and was married to a Vietnam Vet who still suffers from the trauma of war. She said that this was not a book for her. I was very upset for opening old wounds. It is never over.
