"I couldn't put the book down. Normally a book takes me forever, but I was simply fascinated from cover to cover
. . . .I loved it!"

"I can tell when a book is absorbing because I almost miss my [subway] stop. By this measure, The Jackhammer Elegies succeeds brilliantly."

"If you like Grisham but with engineers instead of lawyers, you'll love this book!"

"I am not normally a fiction reader, but I couldn't put this down . . . . the technical details were exacting and the real life-like stories of fellow professional-types made this a great read."

"An engineer takes center stage In this terrific story. For fans of great fiction, The Jackhammer Elegies is a compelling story with characters that you will identify with and care about."

". . . one of the best books I've read in a long time."

"Lemme tell you I could not put this book down. It was fast paced and picked up right in the first chapter. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a thrill. Great book!"

​". . . more than just another thriller. It was a thought provoking and exciting novel."


"Being the first engineering novel I've ever read, I wasn't expecting the writing to be so good . . . it is."


"What an unexpected pleasure. This book should be a best seller . . . comparable to books
by John Grisham or David Hosp."

"This is one of the finest stories I have read about the importance of engineers and their contributions to
the health and well being of the nation. It is a hard hitting fast moving and exciting murder mystery."

"Structural engineers have rarely been featured in the media, especially as heroes . . . I dove right in and immediately became riveted."

"If you're looking for a good read this summer . . . this is a great choice. . . .You'll never take the security
of our infrastructure for granted again."

"This novel was . . . fascinating to me . . . .
 [The] Jackhammer Elegies will give the general public a much better appreciation of civil engineering, and . . . for that, I am personally grateful."


"A compelling read."
