Just read your book this weekend (I couldn't put it down) … thanks for the insight and memories in this book. It was a terrific read.
—Utah reviewer
[The author] narrates … stories about people, places, and events with candor and wit … [He] explains his experiences in an engaging and compelling manner… setting his own life story against the background of his times, giving the memoir both depth and context. Very nicely realized!
- Editor's review
The dialogue is strong throughout, with well-differentiated characters, and we get delightful humor in this story. The author captures a wide range of tones, from light to authoritative to emotional. Well done.

… technical discussions are artfully related through well-crafted dialogue … [while] mishaps and pranks … help humanize the story, with the era’s music and culture providing a colorful background.

I found [the book] fascinating … The early chapters were … like walking through a haunted house … when suddenly a [familiar] character would pop out of the darkness … I would then need to stop reading and reflect on my interactions with all these people.
—Kansas reviewer
TURNED ON! was a great trip down memory lane, a chance to relive and reminisce about becoming an adult in a turbulent, exciting period of American history. … For anyone who [is a part of or] wants a peek into that world, TURNED ON! could well be a primer for what transpires in the upper echelons of academia.

Every page brings me a smile. It is so precious I can't turn pages casually.
