Now Is the Hour Reviews

Rich with knowing... deft, funny, heartbreaking... I LOVE THIS BOOK -- A.M. Homes
Powerful... a funny, sensitive picture of a young man whose plight will resonate with your inner idealist * Dazed & Confused *
A quintessential American tale of emancipation... Spanbauer both ironises and embraces the classic American tropes his story draws on - Rigby John is a self-aware, self-deprecating, extremely witty narrator * Metro *
Sophisticated, funny, poignant, sexy... Rigby's storytelling voice is natural, warm and positively addictive. The many pages of this breathtaking, romantic and unpredictable novel fly past. Rarely does such a gripping story match with such a loveable character. Sit back and enjoy the lovely partnership * Booklist *
