Randy

Randy is a delightful book that speaks to the heart. It is an easy read and yet one that speaks of important matters of life and death, love and loss, grief and rebirth. The book draws you in, letting you experience extraordinary relationships under extraordinary circumstances. I recommend it for all ages.

It got me right in the heart, in a good way!

Randy was simply terrific. I found myself actually crying at times and laughing at others. It has great balance. Meaning, that it brings a feeling of reality, knowing that the world has its problems and differences and how occurances come about that can pull people apart or bring them closer together, yet it also shows that there is extreme goodness in the world, (ie. love, enjoyment, friends) the aspects of life that help you through rough times. I really enjoyed reading Randy, and am lookong forward to more books by Ernest Knobbs. A definate recommendation to anyone!

Captivating story, I highly recommend it.

Captivating story of Gary, an ordinary man who experiences one of life's most heartbreaking losses. How Gary deals with his loss is instructive and thought provoking. Knobbs has a keen eye for the nuances of corporate culture and suburban life. His observations are right on target, I found myself saying "yes, exactly" throughout the book. I highly recommend this book- those I've shared it with immediately became caught up in the story and found it difficult to put down.

This is a wonderful, warm, and funny novel for everyone.

I haven't read a more enjoyable novel in a long time. There are very funny parts, very sad parts, and something to interest every reader. The unique and funny relationship between Gary and his son Randy will make everyone laugh. Lily, Gary's wife, and her mother Regina are two of the best women characters I've come across in a book in a long time. Ernest Knobbs has written a wonderful first novel. I recommend it to everyone.
