Praise for Disappearing Into View

"Eloquent...echoes of Dickens"

The Mobile Register

"A modern version of Dostoyevsky's Notes From the Underground"

The Anchorage Daily News

Wordweaving.com

"Intriguing...[it] will stay with you long after you finish reading."

Bookbrowse.com

"A gripping tale...intense"

The Compulsive Reader

"Stone's writing is masterful."

The Vinland Journal

"Andrew K. Stone possesses a marvelous ear for dialogue...and a talent for creating pure-hearted characters who will long remain in the reader's memory."

Janice Harvey, Worcester Magazine

"Extraordinary. The writing is superb."

BookCrossing.com

"Disappearing Into View is a stylish dark side foray into the underbelly rhythms of the at-large city street culture (with a special nod to the homeless), metaphorically enhanced by some rather frightening transports to and from key points in between via subway travel.

A classic Good vs. Evil matchup featuring robust portions of razor-sharp insight, large partitions of despair -- and ultimately, some very satisfying scraps of redemption -- professionally staged within the framework of a novel brimming with the ultimate payoff: easy-to-in-engage-in, effortlessly recognizable characters.

A magnetic, meaty, edgy work."

The Boox Review

"Stone illuminates the infinite human capacity for evil, compassion, and forgiveness at all levels of humanity."

Paula Bodah, Editor, Rhode Island Monthly

"Disappearing Into View has the same innovative style and penetrating psychological insight that make Andrew K. Stone's first novel, All Flowers Die, a success. Stone's gritty, street-wise language speaks volumes, and his use of complex and realistically drawn characters gives the work a highly charged level of emotional tension."

Jane Crosier, Host of Literary Landscape, CKCU-FM, Ottawa

"Skillful...a work of fiction that has broad implications on the societal and personal level."

Doug Holder, The Cambridge Chronicle

Praise for All Flowers Die

"The literary equivalent of turning the amps up to eleven, (All Flowers Die) plays out grand dramas of life, death, friendship and maturity."

The New Haven Advocate

"The narrator of Andrew K. Stone's All Flowers Die conjures specters of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Jay McInerney's The Last of the Savages, as he pours over the cost of the creative drive, spirit and ultimate self-destruction of a musician who spends a lifetime looking in from the outside."

J. Mark Dudick, Entertainment Editor, Anchorage Daily News

"Stone scores with thoughtful introspective passages"

The Mobile Register

"A powerfully successful work of fiction."

The Daily Free Press

"A quickly engaging and addictive read"

Blue Dog Press

"Stone is a gifted, inspiring author [who] tells a very compelling story."

Fresh! Literary Magazine

"The musical heroes of All Flowers Die tell a captivating story which is not only an inspirational page-turner, but is the definitive Boston rock 'n' roll novel."

"The Buddah" -- 106.1 FM Cambridge

"This book is pleasingly well done. The character development is outstanding, the plotline enticing, and the story is delightfully thought provoking without appearing to be so. As you read the story you find yourself questioning some thought patterns that are inside your head, though the story does not read like a non-fiction self help book -- it could well provide that result. Andrew has done a marvelous job in presenting this story, you will find that you take some of Phiz Tarleton with you and perhaps you'll be on the lookout for the ever elusive, everlasting gobstopper."

A Writer's Choice

"The prose is rich with detail.... [The characters] often engage in clever rapid-fire exchanges, other times ponder philosophical themes"

The Warwick Beacon

"An insightful acknowledgement of life"

Stranger Things Magazine

Before Andrew became an author, he worked on the hit NBC comedy, The Golden Girls. Read all about his "past life."
