Praise
“Funny and warm and touching…If you think there are lots more than two sides to any story, you should enjoy the expansive view of family life presented in [this] new novel.”
-Joe Meyers, Connecticut Post
“Moving.”
–People
“A fascinating novel of family dynamics that will resonate with readers on many levels.”
-Holly Scudero, Sacramento Book Review
“Bill Warrington’s Last Chance turns out to be quite a ride for all the characters involved-and it proves that taking a chance may not turn out exactly as you had planned, but it’s darn worth a try.”
–BookPage
“Part road odyssey, part coming-of-age tale, King’s novel achieves the exact right balance of humor, redemption, and reconciliation.”
–Booklist
“Bill Warrington’s Last Chance is full of fascinating things to talk about-like the coming of age of a young girl juxtaposed with an old man’s search for redemption, not to mention the touching but unsentimental way they grow to care for each other . . . Perhaps one of the best things you can say about a novel is that the story lingers after you finish it. I have gone on thinking about this one without trying.”
-Sue Monk Kidd, author of The Secret Life of Bees
“This is what reading is about and what a good book is supposed to do.”
-Sue Grafton, author of the Kinsey Millhone mystery series
