Praise for Anonymous Rex, by Eric Garcia:
"Awesomely funny...Witty, fast-paced detective work makes for a
good mystery, but the story's sly, seamlessly conceived dinosaur
underworld contains all the elements of a cult classic."
--Entertainment Weekly (A rating) "Debut novelist Eric
Garcia pulls off this parallel dino world to a T (Rex). [His]
descriptions are delicious...inventive and imaginative. He cleverly
avoids what could have been a one-joke book with charm, sly humor
and a terrific narrative pace."
--USA Today Praise for Casual Rex, by Eric Garcia:
"[Casual Rex] is thornier than Garcia's audacious debut,
Anonymous Rex--but it's still delightfully strange and
funny." --The Seattle Times "Eric Garcia is one of the few
innovators in this overworked genre....What Garcia gave us in his
1999 novel Anonymous Rex and has given us in this sequel,
which is quite as clever and amusing, is an old-fashioned
private-eye yarn, complete with tough-talking detectives, beautiful
and mysterious babes, villains of the first order and a puzzle in
the classic tradition....Garcia makes us laugh at his mystery while
creating real suspense. It's a difficult feat, but, once again, he
pulls it off."
--The Star-Ledger Praise for Matchstick Men, by Eric
Garcia "Eric Garcia proves himself an expert at the art of the
con."
--The New York Times Book Review "In his twisty new novel,
Matchstick Men, Eric Garcia pulls a nifty con game of his
own with a hall-of-mirrors story where what you see is rarely what
you get. It's an elaborate shell game of mooks and motives, and
when the pea is finally revealed, it's the most dexterous
sleight-of-hand since Kevin Spacey strolled out of a police station
in The Usual Suspects."
--The Boston Globe
