The first review is in

My dear friend, Stewart Cutler, who is one of the co-hosts on our weekly podcast, has posted the first review of St. Peter’s Brewery.

St Peter’s Brewery by Jonathan D Blundell is different. In a good way.

Before I tell you why let me first say that Jonathan is my friend and co-host on the Something Beautiful Podcast and he gave me an advance copy of the book.

That could have made this review a little awkward. At least it would have if the book wasn’t great!

I read it all in one sitting, unusual for me, and was drawn in to this story of Jimmy, a man who has withdrawn from life because engaging is just too painful.

Jimmy finds sanctuary in St Peter’s Brewery, the converted church where he now drinks alone. His only friend is the barman, Pete, who lends an ear when he wants to talk and knows when to leave Jimmy alone when he doesn’t.

Jimmy’s life is one that so many can relate to. Things haven’t gone well for him. Relationships have been broken, work has become a place to escape life rather than live it, life is empty and that’s just fine with Jimmy.

Be sure and read the full review and drop Stewart a comment or two as well.

Have you posted a review, let me know. I’d love to share a link back to your site as well!
