Still not selling is Jonathan Tropper's new novel, despite our over-the top rec in both our email newsletter and event calendar. This week Entertainment Weekly made a similarly bold proclamation, putting it on their must list and also giving it a big A-rated write up.

Looks like you picked a winner! I remember that your review was very positive, and I also remember that it made me put the book on my wish list.
I'm still convinced the Tropper is going to sell just fine. It's an art-house movie, not a blockbuster release.
