What a story to have the honor of reading and knowing. I will never forget this book for the rest of my life.

Eric writes about a young man named Ezzie, whom I assume isn't too dissimilar from the author himself. He's a New York Transplant, a filmmaker and in the first chapter of the story manages to find himself falling head over heels for a girl he had just met! This book is most girls' fantasies come true, except it becomes a nightmare for Ezzie when the woman of his dreams decides to move to Europe.

I can't say much more as I don't want to spoil it. Most romance novels are from the woman's point-of-view, this one is from the guy's and that's what makes it stand out. What makes it special: honesty. That's the truth. You'd be a fool to pass it up.

I've read this three times since October 2008 (I'm writing this in December of 08.) Here are my basic comments: What Norcross has done here took a lot of courage. More importantly, what he has achieved here will (eventually) earn him the right to call himself a successful author (but not while he publishes on LuLu.)

I've read all three of his "materials" from "The Balance of the Seventh Column", which was a conspiracy driven chain of clues with witty remarks on the current state of society, to "Paradigm Shift" which was awkward but thought-provoking - as entertaining as those pieces were, neither stuck with me as much as "The Violin Diary."

"The Violin Diary" is Norcross' third completed venture into literature and three times is certainly a charm. I don't feel I need to tell you what it's about, as the previous posters have done a good job at that - but what I can say is that Norcross gets personal, humorous, tragic and ultimately witty in this compilation of memories that make up this infamous story.

If you know nothing about this book, let your first bit of knowledge be this: It is as personal as it gets and if that makes you uncomfortable, then perhaps its not for you. If that intrigues you, pick it up as soon as possible and dive right into it. I cannot stress this enough.

Aside from some minor typographical errors, this is a pretty exception work of science-fiction. I wouldn't normally read this genre of tale, but I loved the author's "The Violin Diary" so much that I had to read his previous works. It's amazing how he's grown in just three years. This is a novella that includes two short stories. So you'd be reading three different tales. You could finish this in a day with little effort. Four out of five stars, just because I'm not a fan of sci-fi.

A great mystery tale. You'll finish this in a day for two reasons: the first being that it's really really short, the second is that it's just really good. As a work of literature it reads like a typical mystery, it even has a few typos. As a piece of entertainment, it's top quality and well... it is what it was intended to be: a piece of entertainment. For that I give it four stars out of five.
