Recenzii
“‘The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread is a brilliant piece of writing--a book to put on the same shelf as Catcher in the Rye and The Outsiders. What was it like to be a kid at mid-century in the midwest? Read this book and see.” — Stephen King
“You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll delight in meeting 9-year-old Morris Bird III.... I loved this book when it was first published in the early ‘60s, and I am just thrilled that a whole new generation of readers is going get to meet Morris, too.” — Nancy Pearl
“Purely wonderful...Belongs on the same shelf as TOM SAWYER and PERNOD.” — Chicago Tribune
“Delightful...universal enough to send a twinge of nostalgia through any ex-boy.” — New York Times Book Review
“Morris Bird III...is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and that nobody will deny....Mr. Robertson is a tremendously good writer.” — The New Yorker
“A vividly depicted story...a recreation of a time and place that will stir nostagic smiles...tense narrative...You’ll remember Morris Bird III.” — Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers
“Engaging...will keep the reader solidly engrossed.” — Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Morris Bird III...may be the most appealing child since THE CATCHER IN THE RYE.” — Nashville Tennessean
“Spellbinding...superb...the narration is perfect...unforgettable” — Fort Worth Star-Telegram
