Customer Reviews

Great Read

Leif Peterson takes the events of everyday life and make us see that they really are special and that we should pay more attention to them. I especially enjoyed the stories "Jesus' Twin" and "Normal Like Us". Read this collection of short stories and you won't be disappointed.

Exceptional!

I loved reading these unusual and surreal tales of this so called "normal" life. Each story disturbingly normal that we see ourselves in life's routine. Yet we are pleasantly surprised by how much magic surrounds us, if only we would pay a little more attention to the details. I loved this set of short stories, except the part of the bunny bashing in Jesus' Twin - that was tragic and a bit twisted - my favorite story was Angels Don't Sleep. I am eagerly waiting for his next novel.

anthing but normal

This collection of short stories written by Leif Peterson is a combination of brilliantly written insights into everyday life experiences. Anyone that enjoys intellectual insight combined with great reading and simple truths will enjoy every chapter.
