Inspired by the Arts: Allen Ginsberg's Howl

About HOWL: "One of my greatest inspirations. As a writer, a poet, and a human being, the depth and style and profundity of Allen Ginsberg's words captivate me just as much today as the day I first discovered them. Extraordinary. " -- Veronika Carnaby

*****(5 Stars)
"This is one of the best novels I've read this year. In fact I'll put this in my list of all time favorites. Sure, it's a matter of taste as other reviews will attest, but as I was reading BOHEMIA I was thinking this book could be eventually considered a classic of its genre. This is my kind of book and I'm sure that others will find the same to be true for them." -A.Bird

***** (5 Stars)
"I so enjoyed thus gripping story of 4 young people. There adventures from England to America held my attention from start to finish. I found the story well written and great characters. A good book to curl up with on these cold winter nights. Enjoy it today." - G. Cook

***** (5 Stars)
"I enjoyed this book a lot. What appealed to me was the way in which the story is narrated by the main character, Valerie. It feels as though you are sitting back relaxing and listening to an interesting lady bringing you through her life story and recollections of a time gone by. Veronika Carnaby has captured this style beautifully with her writing and you really wish that Valerie gets to follow her dream."

***** (5 Stars)
"Though it was set in a period where I was a child it brought memories of that time. The attitude at the time permeated throughout the '60s and it was a great trip down memory lane. I encourage everybody to read this soon to be classic. Loved it!!! Peace---Veronika Carnaby Rocks!! Peace KT"
