Still laughing after all these years!, Aug 17 2000
By Peter V. Reynolds - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fisher's Hornpipe (Hardcover)
I have to agree with all of the other rave reviews here. Fisher's Hornpipe is one of the funniest books I've ever read. When it first came out, I was working at a bookstore and when I saw it on the shelf I started reading it on my lunch break. Had to buy it, told all of my friends about it and we all thought this was the start of a major career for Mr. McEwen. Sadly, I've not seen another book by him. It's a shame this book has been let to go out-of-print. I urge you to do an out-of-print search for a trip through New England that you will NEVER forget.

Hilarious tale of a sweetly bewildered fellow, Feb 8 1999
By David J. Loftus - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fisher's Hornpipe (Hardcover)
I have to second (third? fourth?) the other reviewers with five stars and a huzzah for this delightful book, which I first read some 14 years ago and several times since. The protagonist Fisher is a lovely, pleasant creation who gets into the unlikeliest scrapes which will indeed make the reader laugh out loud. Watch for yuppie Alison and her red pen. Anyone who knows Boston and Cambridge will recognize many of the eateries and watering holes presented in thin disguise (unless they've closed since I lived there). If this book is and remains out of print, this is a crime!

The book for the bitter misanthrope in everyone, Mar 4 1998
By madole@mills.edu - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fisher's Hornpipe (Paperback)
I'm always hoping to find a book as funny as this one. The only other book I know at all like it is "A Confederacy of Dunces", but this one is a bit more succinct. One of my favorite books. Especially funny if your life seems to be crashing down around you and you suspect everyone is out to get you. I have discovered I have large sections of it memorized, but I still laugh out loud when I read them.
Listmania!
