According to the book description
of Oh Brother, “A look into self: penned with a touch of poetry, some literary theory, and
a goodly amount of individual philosophy that may just be that prescription one needs to help ease the pain of reality.”
According to the book description of The Old
Man of Naukeag, it “is a coalescence of
personal encounters and cognitions that span
more than six decades of the author's life
adventures. Its theme is based upon the
assumption that ""life is stranger than
fiction.""
One reader of The Old
Man of Naukeag said, “I first came across
the writings of Paul Ciccone Jr. last year when
I read and reviewed his book, OH Brother. That
review went on to become our top review of 2008
and Paul’s book was probably the most talked
about. Like Mick Rooney, Paul’s writing
definitely commands your full attention and is
one that you will want to take time to read and
mull over, rather than rush through it. I knew
his next book, The Old Man of Naukeag, would be
just as good. And indeed it is, if not better.
Paul writes in a style that’s hard to describe
and unlike anything the traditional market
could ever bring you. If anyone ever needed a
prime example of a polished self-published book
and an author that isn’t afraid to take
chances, then they should invest in a copy of
either of Paul’s books. I enjoy Paul’s writing
because no matter what story he’s telling,
there’s always some word gem hidden within the
root of his theme that’s completely left up to
the reader’s interpretation, phrases I’d find
myself underlining or highlighting if I was
reading a physical copy.” |
