A mixture of mourning and mockery...Surprisingly moving. - Entertainment
Weekly
There's a touch of Nick Hornby in this winning tale about a man raising
his stepson after his wife dies. - People Magazine
Hilarous, but emotion-packed...Part of Widower's charm is that there's
no hapilly ever after, no Cinderella-catches-the-fella ending...-
USA Today
A wise-cracking, darkly comic tale, yet beneath its raucous plot lies
a heartfelt meditation on love and loss. -The Daily Mail
(UK)
With superb comic timing, Tropper keeps the sappiness at bay by
juxtaposing tender scenes with very funny, often vitriolic dialogue.
-Booklist
Tropper's book is a smart comedy of inappropriate behavior at an inopportune
time. -Publishers Weekly
Tropper's Latest is a resigned yet hopeful examination of grief
with a side of human absurdity... warm and modestly knowing, with a
wisecracking slacker hero. -Kirkus Reviews
