"Condon captures Neil's voice perfectly and the character has depth
and authenticity . . . witty with a delightfully dark sense of
humor." --Good Reading
"Condon is an excellent storyteller . . . each character feels so
real the emotions throb from the page straight to the reader's
heart. . . [his] ability to balance the highs and lows, while using
dialogue, descriptions and images that are concise and believable,
makes his story memorable." --Sydney Morning Herald on Give Me
