Toth is onto something BIG . . .
So many times writers try their best to produce something original, something profoundly great, something honest, that they fumble everything and produce a book that makes no judgments. Toth delivers everything you'd expect from a talented writer. FIZZ is genuine and refreshing, just as any reader would demand of a novel. Ray Style, the protagonist and essentially the antagonist, finds himself in situations that will make you both tear and chuckle madness. If more writers mimicked Toth, readers would have mental climaxes every time they sat down to read.

Quirky, solid writing
I wasn't sure about Fizz when I began to read it. I thought maybe it would just be quirky for the sake of being quirky. However, as the book progressed I grew to love it. It's no small feat to write about the mentally ill, especially in the first person. There's always the danger of turning the character into a caricature. Ray sets out on a journey to find out who he is and finds many different answers and no answers at all. The author's prose is solid, yet unpretentious. I'm certain we'll be hearing a lot more from him in the future. Yes, I am pleased to have found this little gem.
