Michael McCarthy,

A weighty, wonderful reflection on parenthood from an award-winning novelist and Vietnam vet.

Chuck Haga,
The Star Tribune
This loving gift to [O' Brien's] now-teenage sons is sprinkled with literary criticism, writing tips, thoughts on his relationship with his father and philosophy on aging and mortality.

Elliot Ackerman,
The Wall Street Journal
This forward projection of the men [O'Brien's] sons might become is a moving act of artistry—a bit like the magic he performs for his sons’ enjoyment.

Kirkus
...an eclectic assembly of pieces that grow increasingly valedictory as the idea of mortality creeps in.
