Polly!
“All hands on Decalogue! A protagonist readers will find it easy to identify and empathize with, a classic journey story told with wit, wisdom and deceptive ease, and the most interesting guest star ever–what’s not to like, here? Perhaps writers who attempt a book like Polly! wanna crack or two across the face for their audacity (to parrot conventional wisdom)–but not if they can manage to pull it off this entertainingly.”–Spider Robinson, co-author of Variable Star by Robert A.
