A classic punk coming of age novel. A fast-paced, engrossing, and thoroughly enjoyable read. - AK Press

Salad Days thrusts the reader into an emotionally charged reading experience. It is a book I now consider one of the finest I've ever read. - punkrockreviews.com

Salad Days is, in a word, amazing. I can't describe how much of an effect this book has had on me. Nothing else I've ever read has so clearly interpreted the life of a punk, and told it so entertainingly. - Twenty Inches eZine

The touching story of your life, through the eyes of one Frank Smith. Everything you've experienced is here between the covers. Honest, sincere, forthright. - Gadjet

Salad Days is a poignant memoir for anyone who ever believed in the power of music. Romalotti has a skill for character development, dialogue, and rich detail. - Al Quint, Suburban Voice

Kick-ass novel about discovering punk rock. This well-written book is instantly recognizable to any punker. - Alternative Tentacles Records

This book kicks ass, dangerously so. It was such an intoxicating breath of air, albeit a dark and putrid air at times. Something Romalotti illustrates well with Pariah is that fiction doesn't have to be fake, overdone, or preposterous in order to be captivating and meaningful. Pariah is definitely a book worth reading. - IndustrialNation (issue #20)

Nothing in Pariah is what it seems to be at first. I read this novel with clenched fists, gasping and shaking my head through every twist and turn. I got so caught up in reading this I felt lost when it ended. - Fat City Magazine

Pariah is an excellent underground horror story. Perfect for reading while huddled under the covers on a dark and stormy night. If you have a penchant for dark and macabre fiction, look no further. - Maximum RockNRoll

A horror story for the Industrial generation. A totally convincing and compelling read. - Martin Bowes, Attrition

Such well-written characters, you just gasp as you follow them through every suspenseful and sickening turn in the story. I loved it. - Morbid Outlook Magazine

Romalotti has a gift for storytelling. - Dru, This Ascension

A wild horror-show of a ride. Romalotti's pointed social satire never overshadows his sympathy for the main players in this nightmare tale. An excellent read.
- Don DeGrazia, author of American Skin

Unnerving, twisted, and quite sick-lock [Romalotti] up! - cevin Key, Skinny Puppy

Striking characters and memorable plots mean we're not going to give too much away about this story. Suffice to say, it's a gripping ride of horror, humor, and humanity. - Alternative Tentacles Records

Plain and simple, this book is a must, and you are a fool to ignore it, no matter who you are. - B-Independent

A creepy, tense thriller that combines punk DIY sensibility with a charming, hacky-pulp style. - Roctober

Combining elements of thriller, suspense, and horror, Romalotti weaves a tale that reads like punk rock nightmares. The complex interplays will have you suspecting what may come next, but never truly knowing. - The House of Pain

After the first chapter, you think you have an idea of what is going to happen, but then at the end it takes a total turn. This book has a great ending! - Through These Eyes.net

I felt I had a firm grasp on exactly what was coming. However when the expected scene arrives, the mechanics of the situation and the complex interplay of multiple plots absolutely blows you away. Simply put, this book is awesome. - Lethal Injection eZine

Typically with Romalotti, things aren't quite as clear as they initially appear. After a series of gripping incidents and interweaving plots, things are left perfectly balanced for an explosive climax. - Scanner Magazine, UK

A very brutal portrayal of the lost and the sad and the damned. - Jarboe, The Swans

Romalotti definitely has a real talent for writing. - Adam, H2O
