Gene Doucette

"Doucette delights with this wonderful example of speculative fiction...[and] writes winning characters who read like real people, and Sorrow Falls is similarly credible. The head-spinning ideas both power the narrative and invite the reader to think hard, while plenty of humor and action move the plot along. This excellent work will appeal to readers from middle school through adulthood."

"Doucette's genial, leisurely novel feels like a throwback to the squeaky clean science fiction of the mid-20th century… the town is vividly realized and described…[and] Doucette's dry sense of humor and obvious affection for his characters go a long way… a warmhearted ode to a simpler time and place in a community so small that everybody knows everybody else's business." 

"[A] riveting postapocalyptic outing… Doucette's vibrant prose and unique premise make for an enticing adventure." 

"The adventure I've been looking for! Never once did I know what to expect, and I loved being proved wrong at every turn. Far more mind-bending than a book this fun has any right to be." 

"[Doucette's] way of conveying the topic of the flexibility of time that is understandable and completely plausible just amazes me." 

"This was just pure fun, wildly madly energetic, genuinely thrilling and exciting read."
