Synopsis

In his second book, novelist Michael Snyder introduces us to three very unusual and distinct voices all torn by tragedy:Willy Finneran, washed-up genre novelist with an espresso maker that just won’t die and a habit of avoiding conflict even if it means putting the truth on a sliding scale.Ozena Webb, single mother and Javatek’s top customer service representative. She spends every evening playing board games with her twelve-year-old son who is mentally crippled from an early childhood accident.Shaq, a small and scraggy homeless man with trauma-induced blank spots on his memory, trying to piece together the story of his life while assisting Father Joe at the Mercy Mission.As their stories intersect, the narrative vacillates between hope and naïveté, comic relief and postmodern ennui. Startling in its authenticity, this unforgettable novel reveals that no matter how far one has strayed from hope, there is always a way to return.

The ending wrapped up a bit too neatly; I still had lots of questions about the characters and what would happen to them. Maybe a sequel? I intend to read the author's first novel, "My Name is Russel Fink" when......more

Having read My Name is Russell Fink, and now Return Policy, I'd say that author Michael Snyder has a genuine knack for portraying 'pathetic' people. And I love it. Perhaps it makes his stories all the more easy to relate to? This is truly a heart-warming story. Definitely recommend it.......more

Goodreads review by Brent on September 14, 2009

Return Policy, the latest book by Michael Snyder doesn't suck. At all. In fact, it really is a great piece of fiction. I like this book even better than MS's first book "My Name Is Russell Fink", which was excellent. The characters in this book really seemed to come to life for me, in all their stran......more
