Reviews and Comments about Hannibal at the Door
… has captured that essence, that uniqueness, that
Americanness, that very humanity and universality
of Hannibal, Missouri and the person and works of
Mark Twain in his poetry. And it truly was a pleasure
to curl up in my Barcalounger and immerse myself in
this book.

… your book is brilliant. I found your use of Twain’s
voice completely credible, legitimate enough to be
mistaken for the man himself. There is a depth and
understanding to your analysis of his characters,
Hannibal and his life that are as uncanny as they are
extraordinary. The only thing better would be to hear
you perform them in person. Sincerely, terrific work.

When the words are about to run out and you are
bringing the reader around to the fullness of the idea,
it is like a roller-coaster ride of euphoria by the time
you get to the end. I'm anxious to get my hands on
several copies to give as gifts to the people I love the
most – writers! I feel like someone just took me to the
restaurant I've been waiting to go to all my life and
it's 100 times better than I could have imagined and
I want more but I can't stuff in one more bite. Thank
you for doing this.
