AMAZING review for my novel, SWEET SPOT!

I just have to rave about this, it's one of the cooler things that's happened to me in years.

Just two of many lines in this review that caused me to swoon right off my chair:

Sweet Spot is incredible. Linton Robinson should be catapulted to the top of the pile of contemporary authors. Why didn't this novel win the National Book Award or the Pulitzer Prize?

I've read a lot of novels in the first ten years of this new
century, and I must say that Sweet Spot is one of the three or four I like the best.

This review is so overwhelmingly positive it makes me wonder when I’ll wake up. But even MORE wonderful for me since this book has been an “ugly duckling” since publication. Local papers and book sections gone out of business, reviews canceled for the economic downturn, unread by editors in Mazatlan...it’s been very discouraging and disheartening. And now this. Yow!

Mexico Connect, by the way, is better than the New York Times when you want to reach gringos in Mexico, a huge and dominant web presence.

I’m still in shock.
