Praise for Half Empty:
“It’s a story in the classic confused-young-man genre of Goethe’s suicidal aesthete and Salinger’s irritable preppie….Tim Hall’s publishing skills are outstanding (his own Undie Press publishes a variety of authors besides himself) and the cover design perfectly matches the mood of the work.” -Levi Asher, Lit Kicks
“Dennis is a Brooklyn computer graphics designer, recently dumped and recently sober. Poking his head out of his solitude and back into substance-free social and sexual intercourse, he finds that things are maybe a little easier and yet more difficult than he found them before. A torrid affair with Laurie, a Village trustafarian, satisfies him sexually (and we get a number of juicy scenes showing us just how much), but he’s still hung up on Shauna, his hungry, manipulative ex… All this and more, to be found in this tight little debut novel.” -Goodreads review by Jessica G.
“They say that in order to disprove the statement, “All crows are black,” you need only produce one white crow. And I believe I have found that white crow of self-publishing: a genuinely good, well-written, powerful and original self-published novel.” -Alex Bledsoe, author of Blood Groove and Burn Me Deadly
“I read a preview on Amazon.com, and I have to say that Tim Hall’s style of writing had me hooked. It’s sort of a perfect third-person journal entry feeling. There are the vividly described details, the right bits of transition, and the all-too-true-to-life dialogue, even just the internal dialogue. I loved reading Dennis’s trains of thought, even when he couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by his memories of the past. The chapter-lengths are great for short bursts of reading, if that’s your kind of thing, but they are also the kind that makes you want to say, “Oh just one more chapter!” ” -Goodreads review by Elizabeth P.
