I ran across Scott Muskin in Atlanta by chance, noticed he had more than one copy of this unusually titled book and correctly inferred that he was the author. After talking to Muskin for a minute or two, I concluded that he was a super nice guy with a beautiful family. After reading his book, I would add that he's also one heck of a fiction writer who deserves all of the praise he has gotten for "Annunciations."

I put off reading The Annunciations of Hank Meyerson for a while, because -- full disclosure -- my parents knew the author, and they wanted to make sure I did too. Parental introductory emails were sent, times established, it was officially an Arranged Coffee Drinking. And then I accidentally stood him up, because life was crazy and I had no sense of time or reverence, and he in his wonderfulness gave me a second chance and we had coffee and conversation was of course great.

This book was so engrossing. Great writing style, prose that you can sink your teeth into. one of those books you stay up late reading because you want to know how it ends.
Best book I've read in a LONG TIME. On my top five list.

I did not enjoy this book as a novel. The story line was not compelling because it was hard to empathize with any of the characters. There were a few good lines: "A fried candy bar on a stick is good only in theory, like libertarianism.", but it wasn't really worth the time taken to read it.

I was entertained by this book. The setting was Minneapolis - it was fun to have familiar places filter in throughout the book.
