| "...a decidedly irreverent comedy of manners... ...a
healthy dose of satire aimed at the legal profession." -- The
Recorder (San Francisco) -- 12/10/07 |
| "…howlingly funny ... Schmidtberger is a delightfully
clever writer, nailing personalities, nay, whole cultures, with a
deft turn of phrase ... Schmidtberger's telling attention to detail,
his tongue-in-cheek humor and his obvious affection for his
protagonists make 'Design Flaws' a superior read." -- The
Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star – 09/09/07 |
| ""... reminiscent of vintage Armistead Maupin...
Schmidtberger has a gift for writing characters you really want to
spend time with... The greatest strenth of "Design Flaws of the
Human Condition" is its humanity and the sense of community it
creates. " -- The Boulder Daily Camera -- 08/31/07 |
| "... a fresh and funny New York novel ...
Schmidtberger has a great handle on the contemporary New York scene,
so the novel is packed with wonderful local color and witty insider
touches." -- Joe Meyers of the Connecticut Post (Joe's
View) -- 08/20/07 |
| "“... hilarious debut novel ... wickedly
irreverent ... perfectly placed humor... Crisply written and
featuring well-developed characters." -- Tucson Citizen -- 08/02/07 |
| "...amuzing... ...[it] has you chuckling and rolling
your eyeballs..." -- USA Today -- 07/26/07 |
| "Debut novelist Schmidtberger's take is very
funny, and his hilarious observations about contemporary urban life,
from its escapable therapy-speak to the damage done to the skyline
by Donald Trump, play well alongside this ultimately sentimental
story about the virtues of friendship. ... Schmidtberger's wryly
wrought characters lend authenticity to this confection of a summer
novel." -- Out Magazine -- 07/07 |
| "...promising debut about love, friendship and
anger-management... ...assuredly entertaining romp..." --
Publishers Weekly – 04/02/07 |
