WHEN I GOT OUT is getting some really good comments from readers on Amazon and goodreads.com.
Here are a few:
“I hung on Larry's every word. He's a decent guy who had a lot of promise as a college student 40 years ago but was thrown off track by his obsession with a beautiful girl. Now he seems out of place and unsure of himself. But you know he's a good person. I was struck by how he "messes up," sometimes making unwise decisions. Yet it's faithful to his life experience--40 years in prison does not really prepare a person for real life. He does luck into friendships with some excellent people so as you read his misadventures and worries there is also a sense of hope. I grew very fond of Larry.” -- from Vee Bee
“I absolutely loved “What It Was Like,” so when I began reading “When I Got Out,” I was hoping not to be disappointed. What I had loved about the first book was how magnificently Peter Seth captured the obsessional, yearning feeling of first love, and in this new book, he brilliantly now captures the very different obsessions, yearning, and revelations of a person in his 60’s. “When I Got Out” continues the story of Larry Ingber after he has served his 40 years in prison, and it’s filled with new fascinating characters, suspense, danger and romance. Even though it’s fiction, the world that Seth creates is so vivid that it feels truthful and real, and you don’t want to leave that world until you see what happens. It’s a beautifully written book, a very satisfying completion of the Larry Ingber saga, and not only entertaining but also life-affirming and inspiring. It’s a luscious read.” – from Melissa Chandler
“This is a page turner!! The descriptions and message of the book is one of hope and thanks. Larry, a very sympathetic character weaves a story of sadness, acceptance, responsibility, hope and happiness. After so many years in prison he sees in our society a change from trust to mistrust , from accountability to blamelessness , from respect to hate , from loving your neighbors to fearing them. Sorta like prison he thinks!
The descriptions of the places he goes to during his journey back to everyday normal life are extraordinary!! From the streets of NY to the tropical island of the Bahamas you feel the cold of NY and the warm breeze of Nassau . You follow him breathlessly ,so worried he will fail and return to jail. Does He????? "Read When I Got Out " and enjoy the roller coaster ride!!”– from Susan reader
“"When I Got Out" is even deeper and more exciting than "What It Was Like." Highly recommended.” – from Jerome A.
“I liked this book for two separate reasons. One is intensely personal: I grew up on Long Island and spent some time with a girlfriend that lived across the bridge in New Rochelle, so I am very familiar with the locales mentioned in this novel. And that brings me to my next reason. It is a novel, although disguised as a "tell-all" book from a noted murdered who gets out of the slammer after serving 40 years behind bars. This first novel is well written and very realistic account of the challenges from an ex-con at returning to normal society, and some of the challenges that he faces. If you are a fan of true crime you will enjoy this book's adventures and challenges. Highly recommended.” – David S.
I love getting reactions to what I worked so hard, for so many years on. It means a lot when people take the time to post their thoughts.
Books make great Christmas presents. (I’ve bought a few for people and have a few on my list.)
