Rezensionen

"Lights Out in Lincolnwood is an instantly addictive, high-velocity tale of domestic tumult set against the beginning of the end of the world. Teeming with suburban pathos, crackling humor, and disarming tenderness, this novel brilliantly reveals that nothing-not even the impending collapse of civilization as we know it-imperils us more than our own weaknesses and desires. Rodkey has crafted an emotionally intelligent, ultra-modern family comedy that upends our expectations at every turn and exposes the fundamental messiness of human connection." - Cassidy Lucas, author of Santa Monica

"Geoff Rodkey's Lights Out in Lincolnwood is a witty, wise, engaging story about the way we live now - and the way we'll live when it all goes down." - Steve Hely, author of How I Became A Famous Novelist and The Wonder Trail
