Nicholas Dettmann: Sorry it's been so long

"A Life Worth Dreaming About" reviews

“Captivating!”

--- Linda

“Inspiring!”

--- Scott B.

“A feel good book.“

--- Hannah F.

“I like the easy, accessible style.”

--- Julia Forster, author of “Shadow Jumper”

“Extremely intriguing.”

--- Lisa Lickel, author of five novels, including “The Map Quilt”

“Good straight forward storytelling and the hook at the end of Chapter 1 works well, when we think the excitement is over. ... The writing is quite good.”

--- Tod Schneider, author of “The Lost Wink”

“It was an enjoyable read. Once I got into it, it kept my interest to see where it was going.”

--- Jill Badzinski, former editor West Bend (Wis.) Daily News

“I like the story. Carl reminds me of Patrick Bateman in ‘American Psycho.’ They are both loners and have a fondness for expensive clothes. I like the description in the first chapters of his interaction, or rather lack of it with his colleagues. I think it's good.”

--- Maria Gibbons, author of “Past, Present, Future?”

Professional Reviews

ForeWord Clarion: "In 'A Life Worth Dreaming About,' Nicholas Dettmann sets forth an appealing, if not unfamiliar, scenario. Through some sort of 'divine intervention,' a man is allowed to go back in time and 'fix' some of the mistakes he has made, thus correcting the path of his life and making him a better person for it all. Dettmann’s main character, Carl, is granted this intriguing opportunity. … Those who enjoy Dickens’s 'A Christmas Carol' or Capra’s 'It’s a Wonderful Life,' will be rooting for Carl to make good on this amazing gift. Dettmann’s story has real potential, and his flair for detail is impressive.”

BlueInk Review: “A Life Worth Dreaming About” is a valiant effort by author Nicholas Dettmann to update “A Christmas Carol” for modern times. Carl, our present-day Scrooge, loves money beyond all else. He’s selfish, mean-spirited and misogynistic. … Dettmann gets points for his clear enthusiasm in writing the story and clever idea.”
