Recensione:
“Full of incident, ambitiously plotted, Nick Crowe’s debut novel is an engaging, entertaining read. . . . Crowe’s prose is both lively and colloquial. . . . A Cold Night For Alligators is an impressive, memorable debut.”
— Devon Code, National Post
“First-timer Nick Crowe hits the ground running with the wildly entertaining A Cold Night for Alligators. This book is a hoot, a rambling and raucous road trip––equal parts Hiaasen and Kerouac, with Lynyrd Skynyrd playing loudly in the background. Crowe is a talent, a writer on his way.”
— Brad Smith, author of Big Man Coming Down the Road
“A hugely entertaining and ultimately poignant story. . . . The characters are expertly drawn [and] it’s an absolute page-turner. . . . [Nick Crowe has an] authentic, wonderful, original voice.”
— Lori Lansens, author of The Girls and The Wife’s Tale
“An excellent debut. . . . The action of A Cold Night for Alligators ticks along nicely, the dialogue and characters are interesting, funny and believable, and the story is suspenseful. Nick Crowe is to be commended – this new writer has come out with an old-fashioned page-turner.”
— Edmonton Journal
“Impressive debut novel.”
— NOW (Toronto)
“I really do love A Cold Night for Alligators. I think [Crowe has] done something quite remarkable. . . . [His] voice truly is unique. There is some bloody funny stuff in the book, but it’s also tender and suspenseful. . . . A fine, fine book.”
— Julie Wilson, Book Madam
