Morris and the Marshmallow a Musical Theme

Morris and the Marshmallow by I.J. Goldman seems to this writer who has a strong musical background written in two themes like a musical composition. A-B, A-B. This spiritual mystery has two stories in one novel unfolding the past and present of our lead character Morris and his delightful sidekick Sony.Morris is a couch potatoe who finds himself and finds himself "helpful" to other people.Not as a social worker but as a humanitarian.The plot is almost plausible and very touching.Its a good read and the first novel by I.J. Goldman.A promising beginning, good summer reading and takes about 4 hours to complete.

Great read - humor, suspense, and an unpredictable ending!

This book skillfully weaves together different time periods, maintaining a sense of drama and suspense until the very end. Thought provoking ideas are presented in a highly readable format, giving the reader the opportunity both for personal reflection and entertaining reading. In this generation, when so many people are searching for more meaning in their personal lives, and wondering, "Is this all there is?", this book provides the opportunity for readers to discover along with the main character, that there is something more meaningful out there. At the same time, as a novel, it makes for pleasant and easy reading. I enjoyed this very much.

Insight for your journey through life!

Morris is searching, though it takes him a while to figure out what he is searching for. The story is interwoven with bits of Morris' heritage that he is unaware of...and of course this does not become clear till the finale.Loner Morris finally achieves fame and realizes it is still a lonely, unfilfulling world. When a chance coincidence(?) finally holds promise to him, he feels amazingly happy and hopeful. The book is insightful, deep and riveting. Try it, you'll love it....and it may give you more insight into your own life.

After Walter Mittey's tale or "where it's really at"

"Morris and the marshmallow" is a good eye openerIt picks up where Walter Mittey left off. Is the American dream really where it's at? Materialism falls into Morris' lap and he doesn't notice he has it and most significant he barely notices when......well you'll find out. I enjoyed Mr. Goldman's clear distinction with what is "important" and what is "really important." Walter Mittey would have loved this book!
