They're Raving About Weeping Willow:
"... hilarity ensues... both from the story, and from the authors interjections. The humor is brilliant but down to earth and the situations can be relevant to anyman (woman) in anytown." T.
Komarek
"Wild humorous look at contemporary America; scathing satire, hip references to just about everything under the sun... A uniquely funny book that defies almost everything ... a quirky, class-by-itself satirical novel with loads of hip humor for a with-it, young contemporary readership... I hope these guys keep plugging in Hollywood. They have a mini-series here, if only someone will take a close look." John
DeChancie
"Forget "Will & Grace", Geoff Hoff and Steve Mancini are the new gay/straight alliance of comedy! ... there's guaranteed laughs, mystery and erections -- people, that's pretty darn good for a paperback!" Terry
Ray
"Writers Geoff Hoff and Steve Mancini have created a fourth wall in book publishing, just so they could break it. That means, they talk to you, and to each other, while you are reading their serialized novel... If that sounds like a wacky statement, it's a fair representation of the gonzo experience you'll get from reading this book. The art of the novel as a real audience participation event sort of thing... If you don't like to get your funny bone wrenched, wrap it up or read something else. " Ken
Furtado
"The commentary between writers Geoff and Steve reminded me of Woody Allen if he were siamese twins. I ... couldn't put it down. I was frequently laughing out loud, often startling my slumbering dog. I now feel far more ubiquitous with a sense of omnipresent liquidity©, having read Weeping Willow ... I highly recommend giving it a read, as it will definitely leave you with a smile on your face and a prodigious vocabulary once completed. " Sean
Michael Beyer
"There's no way to spoil this hilarious book! Written by a gay/straight writing team, the authors' intelligent, yet silly humor will keep you laughing, engaged and wanting more. This book is sure to be a modern classic and I recommend it highly to anyone who wants to laugh out loud while getting the benefits of a well written story. " Don
Goodson
"Caution! - Addictive Characters Ahead! ...The hero's adventure is nudged along by idiosyncratic town folk whose off-center charm mirrors that of the authors... The story is great, but the characters (fictional and authorwise) keep you reading, and wanting more." Michael
V. Gallo
"Very original, highly entertaining... an insanely funny story with Quirky Non-Sequiters(TM), random comments from the authors, and various copyright and trademark notices throughout (don't ask me why, but they are very funny). David
Workman
"I never thought I'd find two individuals that write like I think. ... rated a 3C for Concise, Comical and Charismatic. ...whenever I feel a downer coming, I read. It cheers me up every time because things could always be worse." Ethiopia
N.
This book is one of the most unusual and funniest books I've read in a long, long time. The humor comes at you from many angles... It is so rich with detail and "real" characters that I will be sure to read it again. If you want to feel lighter about the woes in your everyday life, then you must read Weeping Willow. Jeremy
Goodman
"While reading it, I laughed out loud each and every time. It's well-written, well thought out, and incredibly funny ... teenagers of all ages (you know...13 to 98 or so) will enjoy it immensely!" Catherine
M. Cammack
I've never read anything so utterly engaging, nor have I seen humor used so deftly. The weight of the characters is nearly tangible... Weeping Willow is the only work I've read where I honestly wouldn't be surprised to run into one of the characters in real life. S.

find good, well written, funny,
silly, intelligent entertainment?
Are you tired of humor that:
We feel your pain and...
There is a solution!
Weeping Willow: Welcome to River Bend has been called an intelligent yet silly modern classic. It's endearing. Compelling. Unique. Weeping Willow: Welcome to River Bend is the hysterically funny book by Geoff Hoff and Steve Mancini about Lee Harris, whose staid life in Chicago is completely uprooted when he discovers his wife has fallen in love with another guy.
One week he's living in a nice house with a good job, a wife everyone calls a "dish," sleeping on a plush king sized bed with a down comforter. The next week he finds himself sleeping on a sticky green Naugahyde couch in the dank attic of a greasy diner after spending a night in jail.
But Lee discovers he can pick himself up, dust himself off and move forward. And because of his new, off-the-wall small town neighbors, he also discovers he's not alone. While he stumbles through his new adventures, reluctantly expanding his horizons...
... a great new comic hero is born
Together with the insane and brilliant interruptions by the writers, two dangerously funny guys, Lee's adventures create a book that John DeChancie of Writer's Digest calls "a quirky, class-by-itself satirical novel with loads of hip humor".
"Weeping Willow is an original. I've never read a story with this type of irreverent style. The writers create memorable, quirky characters who find themselves in those odd situations that you can't quite explain to your friends ... undefinable, funny, new, different, and at times quite touching."

"This book is an intelligent, sophomoric, cerebral, nonsensical treasure! I read it twice, consecutively, and laughed out loud both times. Mention of Space Food Sticks, Twister, and Speed Racer sent me on a very pleasant trip down memory lane. This book is a keeper!" Nancy

Readers from all over the world have fallen in love with Weeping Willow
It helps them laugh at the little things. Here's what just a few of them have to say about the on-line serial the book came from:
"It'e really nice to know that the internet is being used as it was intended - to unite inherently strange people with inherently strange fans of strange people. Thanks, guys. I can't wait to pretend to work while I read the next bit."
"I love the way you guys put in those little details of things people actually do that are never spoken of in books - [stuff like] Beverly and Lee shredding napkins and making little piles of the pieces. I do that kind of stuff all the time and I've certainly never seen it mentioned in a story!"

"It's great. Smart and clever and original. Maybe Vonnegut or Tom
Robbins but less weird than Robbins. Douglas Adams but not sci fi."

"This is easily the most entertaining story I've read in a long time. The characters are endearing and realistic ... I found myself attached to pretty much all of them. The authors are brilliantly funny, but in a smart way- the story itself could stand on its own if the authors suddenly decided to quit telling jokes (which you hope they wouldn't)." Joshua
Van Cleef |
"... truly unique... I have love-hate relationships with books such as these largely due to my inability to put them down... Everyone has been Lee at one time and everyone has a Twain in their life. A great book... makes the reader part of the story and yearning to meet the characters... "
