Readers' Comments

"I started reading I See London, I See France... and I could not put it down. I had to put it down because I was laughing so hard. It’s like a stand-up comedian: the jokes keep coming, but they are so smart. I was having a blast! The cleverness with the way he put this book together is incredible."

—Carol Newman
(KMUN Radio Host)

"In a writing style that is precise and insightful, Hummasti takes his character on a journey fraught with trials and travails, only to achieve a delicate balance that leaves him in much changed circumstances—but also, finally, becomes validated in terms of his true values."

—Clyde Curley (Author)
