Daniel Swensen read and liked D_Davis Davis's review of Shambling Towards Hiroshima:

"If I were a rich man, I'd buy every regular poster on Goodreads a copy of this book, but alas I am not, and so you will have to get one yourselves.

But please, read this book.

It is absolutely glorious.

The beginning...more If I were a rich man, I'd buy every regular poster on Goodreads a copy of this book, but alas I am not, and so you will have to get one yourselves.

But please, read this book.

It is absolutely glorious.

The beginning had me in stitches, the middle had me captivated, and the ending had me in tears. It is, without a doubt, one of the greatest stories I've ever read.

The satire is used for more than laughs, more than irony, and more than sarcasm. Morrow simultaneously makes statements about WWII, the Hollywood film industry, and about genre fans; it's incredibly smart and well written, each note is hit with perfection.

Shambling Towards Hiroshima is an absolutely brilliant piece of American literature.

Almost done with this, and I'm prepared to call it a masterpiece of satire. As funny and well told as any story I've read. It's absolutely brilliant, and also quite touching. Underneath its satirical surface is a great deal of humanity, and Morrow expertly captures the romantic side of filmmaking; he deftly unearths the genuine sadness often lost an industry of false fronts and put-ons.

It would be a great book to read aloud in a group setting.

This thing should be huge, especially among fans of great fiction and cinema.

So far, this book is very, very, very good.(less) "
