"He howls at a moon that is inside all of us. "
Vanity Fair
"The writing is rich and brave and Collins' narration captures all the ironic humor of his prose. Mature YAs will love this."
Kliatt
"Montiel tells his entertaining, sad tales with a combination of affection, glee, and nostalgia. Hes managed to escape the dismal fate of many of his childhood cohorts, while still cherishing and embracing their humanity."
