Fun, Fast Ride, Filled with Sharp Writing
22 Jan 2002
Format:Hardcover
.... I was checking out new titles--usually I build up a list of new titles I want and send an order to an online store--but I was absolutely taken with Baroque-a-nova. I bought it there, full price, took it home and read it that night.
Kevin Chong has a smart engaging voice. He can throw down a sentence so clean you hardly are aware that you are reading a book. He knows how to pick the exact right details so the novel beautifully opens the world of its 18-year old narrator.
If you're looking for a fun, smartly humourous book to read--something like Vancouveer meets Houlden Caulfield meets 1990s multicultural communities--give this one a spin. I don't think you're regret it.

Chong is a God
28 Jan 2002
Format:Hardcover
This may be the best book I've ever read. I laughed so hard I think I cracked my spine. Everyone should read this book, and anyone who doesn't like it should be banned for life from all water slides.

I love this book like it was the brother I never had.
23 Feb 2002
Format:Hardcover
I never had a brother so this book was perfect for me, because it was about a young, intrepid young man in high school with a decent libido and a wise-cracking mouth, and I just thought it was so darn funny and warm-hearted and I can't say enough good things about it.
I think we can expect great things from Chong, and this book is certainly worth the credit card debt.
It's one of those books where you just wish there was some more Chong to read right after. I want more Chong!! More Chong books!!
