Entertaining follow-up to an old story (with a twist) (and, please don't read the Editorial Reviews, they are a spoiler)
Hopefully, you have not yet read the editorial reviews for this book. If you haven't, please don't do so. They share too much of the story, and are almost a spoiler. As you might know, the title of this book comes from Timothy Cratchit, the Little Timmy from Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Timothy is now a 22 year orphan and lives independently. He is not the cheery little kid from years ago, but ...

Light, Enjoyable Read.
In his quest to "plant his seed", and send offspring out into the world, Nick Broome will go to almost any lengths to get one.(And he does at points.)The novel isn't as laugh out loud funny as I had anticipated, but is touching and heartfelt as this gay man goes through a crazy journey to find what a child means to him, and what finally constitutes a family.

Riveting!
This novel is unique, enthralling, and just well-written. It's written in first-person point of view, which is always my favorite. The characters are well-developed and the plot tightly constructed. Once I started this, I could not put it down. The style of writing is like the 19th century (which is brilliant since that's when the novel is set), so if you're not used to that style, you may be ...

HILARIOUS!
I usually read books set in the Reinassance era, mainly the 1800's and other classic, fantasy, sci-fi etc. Normally, I hate books that are set around our time. But this book I enjoyed. IT was so funny! Yeah, it did not have pretty words to woo anyone with, or unbelivable, shocking events, but it was so fresh and simple that it was delighting to read it. I think that the simplicity and the ...
