"I am on record as believing that any day is better when I am not asked to read another memoir. But Greg Bottoms’s book caught my attention immediately and drew me in. I read it all in one sitting. I glanced up once or twice to look out of the window and to clear my head, and then when I finished I looked at the window again but it was dark outside. Which, considering what I’d just finished reading, seemed appropriate.
"I would feel foolish in saying that the book is powerful and well written. . . . That doesn’t seem the point somehow. Angelhead is direct, inventive, clearly imagined, and packs a punch. It is a book people will talk about — perhaps productively."
— Ann Beattie
"Angelhead is a cleanly distilled story of a profound family anguish. On every one of its two hundred pages there are sentences like arrows. The whole work has the beauty of hard, painful truth, arrived at through intelligence, art, and compassion. This is one of the most moving books I’ve read in a long, long time."
— John Casey
