Review of "An Arsonist's Guide to Writers' Homes in New England" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

"What makes Guide such a marvelous comedy, aside from Clarke's clear prose and sparking wit, is his treatment of his lead character. In the best tradition of classic comedic heroes, Sam is not so much an actor as a reactor, always one step behind and guided by forces beyond his control."
