Racing home to share news of a long awaited book deal, Aaron Abrams unexpectedly finds his wife and beloved brother TOGETHER!

Tossing a few mentionables into the car, along with his golden retriever, Churchill, his now only trustworthy lifelong companion, Aaron embarks on an odyssey like no other. With his own music as a backdrop, while guzzling his favorite 'Newman's Own Virgin Lemonade', Aaron begins in Youngstown, Ohio, travels Interstate 80 in Pennslyvania, and continues into Gettysburg, Pa., Boston, Ma., Roswell, NM., to name a few, ultimately ending his road trip in scenic Niagara Falls.

Along the way, he continues to embrace each moment, every situation, all relationships and brief encounters. Never losing his zest for life, Aaron stays positive, upbeat and open for adventures, not letting his 'ex-wife-to-be' interfere with his new found freedom, while at the same time rediscovering and recreating bonds that will never be broken. The game of Jinx has never gotten so much attention; what that means the reader is soon to discover.

Starting somewhere, going nowhere and finding an unplanned, unexpected landing. Time to put a pole on that No Parking sign and call it home.

Laugh till you cry funny, entertaining, herat-warming and insighful all rolled together. A must read for those who love 'road' stories.

1,0 su 5 stelle A Muddled Mess
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 27 ottobre 2012

This novel probably contains the worst punctuation I've ever encountered, and if that isn't bad enough the jokes are lame and the story is disjointed. An example of the shoddy writing: For some reason, the author felt the need to augment the word Pennsylvania. I'll clean it up a bit by writing it Pennsyl-effing-vania. But as the reader encounters this hyphenated nonsense over and over again, the fact that he couldn't even get the state's name correct truly irritates, as he reversed the 'y' and the 'l'. Yes, we end up with Pennsly-effing-vania. My god, man, work on your editing, and then farm it out to someone who knows what they're doing.

Sam Moffie’s novel, No Mad, begins and evolves using a series of word play.  This starts with the title of his book.  In this case, a no mad refers to the biblical Jewish tradition of nomadic tribes. Moreover, “no mad” refers to the main character’s, Aaron Abrams, state of mind after realizing that he has been betrayed by his wife and brother. Then, and I don’t say finally here because the reader has several opportunities to engage with the word play, “no mad” is central to a story told by Abrams about his daughter.

This word play with “no mad” also creates the central theme of the novel.  Aaron Abrams traverses throughout the novel on a Jewish Odyssey — or one could say a nomadic journey.  He leaves the shores of his beloved Youngstown, Ohio with his faithful Golden Retriver, Churchill, for New York City after two moments that alter his life:  the possibility of a lucrative career as a fiction writer and the end of his marriage.

Once in New York, Abrams makes a new book deal.  The purpose of the  project, called Yearbook, is to visit alumni from his alma mater, Wittenberg. Why? Well, as Abrams explains in the pitch meeting with the editor, “. . . college is that first baby step into the real world. It’s where people, looking back at least 20 years, will have a much different insight than high school grads, whose only concern was where and when the party was . . . “

Aaron Abrams makes the deal and so begins the main portion of his Jewish Odyssey — full of sirens, cannibalistic Laestrygonians, and heroic men and women.  Like Odysseus, Abrams is also on a spiritual quest.  Here, he finds himself reflective.  How does he not become bitter because of his wife’s and brother’s betrayal?  How does he remain an important part of his now adult children’s life?  Importantly, Aaron says, “I can still lift my kids,” he whispered to himself. “Just in different ways.”

And so Aaron Abrams ends his journey, with his faithful dog, Churchill, at his daughter’s wedding.  Alas, he is the same, yet different, and he is home but that home is also different.  What once was can never be again.

Of course, with all of this said, Moffie’s imagination and wit creates one  hilarious novel.  Thus, this is where I leave the reader.  Open the book and allow Sam Moffie to take you on a quirky, nomadic journey.

2,0 su 5 stelle Disappointing

This book was generally a disappointment. I did finish it, but I am not sure I should have invested so much time. I kept trying to figure out why other readers reviewed it positively.

It's a bit too repetitive and rambling, which an editor could help. Where the author has something he likes, he'll use that same "joke" or "theme" or whatever repeatedly, which is especially dull when the reader doesn't think it's all that clever, like the "Pennsly-F-ing-Vania" theme. Yes, Pennsylvania is misspelled with the F word inserted in the middle, and I have no idea why what's supposed to be so entertaining, at least multiple times. There was some interesting material here, but I couldn't identify with this person's way of seeing people and the world.
