Title: A THIRD INSTALLMENT
Review: I refuse to see Mr Kimmel's Kritzer books as three novels but three sections of a great biographical novel, just as Mr Dickens, Mr Dumas and others wrote large-scale novels in installments. The three Benjamin Kritzer novels are Mr Kimmel's DAVID COPPERFIELD, and just as crammed with eccentrics, villains, saints, and heroes. KRITZER TIME resonates on many levels: Benjamin Kritzer, our eponymous hero, progresses through high school, develops more of his talents, endures more losses and gains, suffers more humiliation and embarassment from his Martian family, learns to love, learns he is not alone in the scheme of the cosmos, and comes out a winner. We've all been there and we've all suffered our adolescent angst, but we should all suffer with such excellent humor.
