Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A balls-out joyride through eighties pop culture that enlightens as much as it exhilarates. As always, Kilmer-Purcell's astringent wit is nicely tempered by his obvious sympathy for human frailty."--Armistead Maupin, New York Times bestselling author of Michael Tolliver Lives

"Josh Kilmer-Purcell is funny funny funny, one of the funniest young writers in America. In Candy Everybody Wants, he trains his insightfully sardonic eye on the world of 80's pop culture, showing the roots that made us a nation of Britneys, American Idols, and Obamamaniacs."--James Frey, author of Bright Shiny Morning

"Josh Kilmer-Purcell has created rich and memorable characters that emerge from the tumultuous landscape of the 1970's. Jayson Blocher is the Holden Caufield for a new generation who is thrust in to a Little Miss Sunshine family in the early 1980's."--Dr. Drew Pinsky, author of The Mirror Effect

"A genuine comic novel filled with big laughs, Candy Everybody Wants is entertainingly out-of-left-field yet remains rooted in reality. With his second book, Kilmer-Purcell has avoided the dreaded sophomore slump. We can't wait to see what he'll come up with next."--Myspace.com
