Professional Reviews
A wonderful tribute to Badfinger!
JOYCE ISAACSON has written the only piece of fiction inspired by BADFINGER, a UK band that came along during the Beatle era. They were also the first band signed by the APPLE label. Sadly, BADFINGER is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Badfinger sounds a bit like the Beatles but I think their music is top-notch. Joyce has a fantastic imagination... I don't know how she came up with this stuff.
Her cover is professional and certainly eye-catching. The back cover blurb is easy to read with high contrast coloring. I just know she put a lot of time and thought into her cover and her writing. She wrote this book from the heart. Each word was carefully chosen to help her express exactly what she intended. Reading each chapter put a smile on my face as I pictured the performers, actors and others in my mind. The formatting is just perfect and I really love the little guitars that help separate the action. I looked for mistakes but I couldn't find one. It's so refreshing to read an error-free book.
This is volume one so I am guessing another is forthcoming. Will Tomas find his mate after searching for him for years? You can tell Tomas is a true friend because he never gives up on his quest. He gets depressed now and again but he always bounces back, often being uplifted by the souls he meets along the way. If you love Rock and Roll, you'll love this story. Keep writing Joyce. You're doing a marvelous job. I can't wait for volume two but take your time because nothing done rushed is done well.
