The Lake, the River & the Other Lake (edit title)

• Rated 3 stars

“Lots of fascinating characters in a volatile setting.”

• Rated 3 stars

“Loved all the Michigan references, but found it to be ultimately sad. It did keep me reading, though.”

• Rated 5 stars

“This is written by a brilliant friend of mine from my ad days. It is rich, quirky, and bittersweet - with one particularly edgy and disturbing story line hidden among its many sweet and sardonic ones. Great job, Steve!!! You the man!”

• Rated 5 stars

“The story covers several different characters' lives one summer in a northern Michigan tourist town, among them an American Indian who tries to sabatoge the jetski riders stirring up the lake, a naive 16 year old town boy with a crush on a hot tourist girl who's a wealthy, spoiled, sexual exhibitionist, the owner of an orchard whose son wants to marry the Mexican worker pregnant with his child, and a retired, widowed pastor who knows the parrish wants to force him from his home. Humorous, entertaining and touching.”

• Rated 4 stars

“A little outlandish in story and characters, but quite humorous at times, especially if you live or visit Michigan in the summer. Amick shows just enough restraint in keeping his characters from becoming too ridiculous.”
