Rave Reviews for The Strange Courtship of Abigail Bird

February 18, 2020 By John Blumenthal

“This quirky love story is a delight. It is at the same time humorous and poignant. And the literary references are refreshing and give the book it’s own peculiar charm. This is a most enjoyable read.” — Mark Burley, Executive Producer of Orange is the New Black

“Blumenthal’s hilariously descriptive language is a delight.” —The Washington Review

“John Blumenthal has created in his narrator Ishmael Archer a character who is at once charming, entertaining, and thoroughly original. Archer’s courtship of the beautiful Abigail may indeed be strange, but it is also poignant and heart-meltingly romantic. A delightful read.” —Lindsay Maracotta, bestselling author of Dead Hollywood Moms Society and Adorably Dead

“Literature is the aphrodisiac in this charming and hopeful love story between delightfully eccentric characters.” —Cherise Wolas, author of The Resurrection of Joan Ashby and The Family Tabor

“Blumenthal has a Woody Allen-like ear for dialogue.” —The Kindle Book Review

“There are belly laughs among the pangs of heartache, loss and discovery. For a humorous novel, the book is surprisingly touching, the depth unusual. Such a gloriously refreshing change.” — Sue Russell, award-winning author of Lethal Intent

“Blumenthal has a jaundiced eye and a wonderfully ironic style” —LA Daily News
