I tried to read Richard Adams years ago. He was the Watership Down guy, wasn't he? Couldn't get into it. I've got 3 memoirs and am working on another one. Also did a bio. Info on all of them at my website RatholeBooks.com. Happy Turkey Day, Tim

Hey, I see you liked the Coppola book too. I gave it all five stars. A surgeon who writes! And writes well! I read a lot of military memoirs (wrote one myself) and this one ranks high. - Tim Bazzett

Good Morning,

NTI Upstream wanted to let you know that your author signed Advanced Readers Copy of Coppola: A Pediatric Surgeon in Iraq (for your participation in the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program) has been shipped and should arrive shortly.

Bestselling author (Final Exam: A Surgeon's Reflections on Mortality) and NY Times columnist Pauline Chen praises the work as “powerful, thought-provoking, and unforgettable…” In Chen’s words, after reading Coppola: A Pediatric Surgeon in Iraq, “You will never again look at the Iraq war—or any war for that matter—in quite the same way.”

We hope you enjoy Coppola: A Pediatric Surgeon in Iraq and look forward to your comments. For further information, please visit the official website http://www.coppolathebook.com

Thank you,

NTI Upstream

Will do. Of course, you could always ask your local library to order a copy (if they don’t have one already). The book is available on Amazon.com for about $10, but since I’m hoping for a review, I didn’t feel it was appropriate to expect you to buy a copy :)

Noticed you liked The Glass Castle, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a dysfunctional family (and also a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:
