Critical Acclaim for The Red Album of Asbury Park“It is simply an amazing work of fiction… a smart look inside the topsy-turvy world of the rock and roll lifestyle and the futility, hope, danger, love and mystery of survival in general. The Red Album Of Asbury Park is a book you won’t be able to put down.”—John Pfeiffer, Aquarian Magazine
“An affecting and honest work that rolls out like a pop song and resonates unforgettably, the way a great chorus should.”—Alex Green, Caught in the Carousel Magazine
“The inclusion of Springsteen, with his talent and his drive, makes the fate of some of the other characters that much more poignant.... The Vietnam War shadows the young people — damaged veterans and hippies alike — and adds to the relentless tension in the background.” —Kelly-Jane Cotter, Entertainment Editor, Asbury Park Press.
“The Red Album of Asbury Park is a very gripping and thoughtful book; it is melancholy and sad at times but also brings a lot of hope with it. You are highly recommended to read it.” —Mirza Gazic, Blogcritics
“With its rich mix of New Jersey history, rock ‘n’ roll roman a clef, and mystery, The Red Album of Asbury Park will beguile, inform, and entertain you.” —Jim Testa, JerseyBeat.com“Strongly evocative of a time and place, of interest especially to those who hail from the “swamps of Jersey” but also to anyone who loves rock 'n' roll. Good book!”—Dave Williams, Journalist, former Books Editor, Asbury Park Press
