نقد و بررسی

AudioFile Magazine
Eve, a newcomer to the Big Apple, finds her Greenwich Village apartment comes fully equipped with the ghost of Donald, a beatnik writer who lived, and died, in the apartment. Now he's found a comfortable niche in a corner of Eve's head. Nicole Vilencia's enthusiastic reading captures just the right smart-alecky tone for Eve. However, Vilencia's mispronunciations are distracting, her foreign accents don't work, and none of her New Yorkers sound like New Yorkers. That said, she has an engaging voice and an upbeat attitude. As Eve tries to make it in Manhattan, dealing with Donald, a new job, a new puppy, and new romantic possibilities, Vilencia's narration adds a pleasant insouciance to Lorna Graham's imaginative novel.

TV news veteran Graham makes her fiction debut with an amusing if needlessly busy story of a young woman trying to make it in the big city. Eve leaves Ohio for a life of excitement in Manhattan, settling into an apartment in Greenwich Village with a (relatively) cheap rent because nobody wants to deal with the resident ghost, Donald Bellows, the "beatnik from hell" who insists on dictating a novel to Eve, who complies just to keep the peace. She falls into a job writing for a morning talk show, stumbling at first and then settling in after a successful interview with prickly and legendary designer, Matthias Klieg. The challenge is keeping her job while juggling Donald's demands, a sadistic co-host, the elegant Mr. Klieg, and a rescued puppy. Graham draws a cute and sometimes horrifying picture of life backstage at a morning talk show, but the novel is so overplotted and densely populated that readers may well have trouble keeping things straight.
