This Book Will Save Your Life is a vivid, uplifting, and revealing story about compassion, transformation, and what can happen if you are willing to lose yourself and open up to the world around you.

    Praise

    Homes’ dark delivery . . . is in full regalia here. . . . Laugh-outloud funny. (The Boston Globe)

    An absolute masterpiece . . . Homes writes ecstatically, and like no one else. (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

    I think this brave story of a lost man’s reconnection with the world could become a generational touchstone, like Catch-22, The Monkey Wrench Gang, or The Catcher in the Rye. . . . And hey, maybe it will save somebody’s life. (Stephen King)

    Hilarious . . . Homes writes in the tradition of Kurt Vonnegut and has the talent to pull it off. (San Francisco Chronicle)
