An ordinary family becomes not-so-ordinary. That was my first reaction to reading Things Go Flying. This family has secrets, bouts of angst, unfulfilled desires, and a dire need to keep things 'normal'. However, starting with a friends funeral, all these pent up thoughts and feelings soon start creeping out, much to the chagrin of everyone. Let the fun begin! Each character lives a life unto themselves, and yet no matter how far they seem to be pulling away from each other, it's like fate keeps throwing them back together. And fate takes strange guises in this book, be it the talking dead, a philosopher, a uber-sexy first love, a TV, and it goes on... The story is fast paced, well narrated, and the characters are believable. A good read through and through.

This book reels you in on the first page and keeps you laughing. The characters are believable and pathetically lovable, especially the middle-aged, tired Harold and his neurotic and oblivious wife (their horny teenaged son, too).

She has a great sense of pacing and once I started I couldn't put the book down. I liked her sympathy for her characters, funny as they were. A thoroughly enjoyable easy read. A must have for one's library.

I would heartily recommend Things Go Flying. I was completely absorbed into the book within the first few pages.

Ordinary life turns extraordinary for the Walker family. It is witty, imaginative and highly amusing. Sure to not disappoint.

I read this book cover to cover and literally could not put it down. The characters instantly drew me in and the narrative is spirited, funny and honest.

I am sad that the book had to end!
