Shining City — Reviews
"This one pretty much hits the zeitgeist G-spot."
— LA Times
"Rarely do novels that are so ruthlessly satiric have such a warm heart. Greenland achieves a deft balance between the preposterous and the plausible.”
— Kirkus"
A wry satire. Greenland keeps the plot racing along, busy juggling his characters and their snappy dialogue. He's got a clean and often funny style"
— Seattle Times
"Greenland effectively maps out a bumpin' joyride of sex, prostitutes, murder, betrayal, revenge and extravagant bar mitzvahs."
— Philadelphia City Paper
"Shining City is simply pedal-to-the-metal fun -- sassy and knowing and irreverant. It's too much of all those things to be pigeonholed as 'summer reading,' but if you have room for only one entertainment this summer, let Shining City be it."
— Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World - 7/6/08
"Very funny -- Readers will be seduced by the combination of narrative skill, speed and sharp-pointed wit."
— Richard Rayner, Los Angeles Times Book Review - 7/6/08
"He's a satirist who takes glee in the disconnect between our familiar, sunny city and the desperate times in which we live. His tone is infectious. What else can we do but laugh."
— Laurie Winer, Los Angeles Times Magazine - 7/6/08
