Review:
"Only a masterful storyteller can take you where Ferone takes you ..." -- Freddy Bosco, The Bloomsbury Review - Jan/Feb 2001
"[Boomboom is] an intriguingly eccentric paperback original ... Ferone's portraits of his scruffy locales and wistful hero are engrossing." -- Adam Woog for the Seattle Times - July 1999
