Review Quotes

Check out Nodding's People, a charming first novel by Nova Scotia writer Jim Weeks that mixes gentle humor with elements of suspense and a touch of romance. Protagonist Dave Nodding meets plenty of eccentric characters along the way, from the lyrical insurance adjuster to the invisible auto repair accountant, and the very nosy neighbour convinced there are terrorists around every corner. But who's to say she's wrong?

Fun tale, well told!

An ingenious take on the age-old Morality tale and a testament to Jim Weeks' skill with parody, Nodding's People serves up a saucy menu with just the right balance of spice and heartwarming comfort. Despite the odd icy patch, the fellow pilgrims on the highway of life step up to overcome external danger or internal self doubt. A delightful read.
