    Whiskey Pike review by Jeff Phillips, March 25, 2010

    I read Whiskey Pike in bed before going to sleep one night. First, very dark, then hopeful/success and then tragedy/melancholy feel at the end. I will say that I believe the book is about much more than whiskey and distilling innovation. To me, Bowermaster was a dreamer and entrepreneur who did what most cannot. That is, execute a dream successfully into not only a successful, profitable business, but a career that a least for a time, brought happiness to his family and himself. However, as in life, sometimes circumstances, sheer luck and perhaps equally important, the consequences of past actions/habits/bad behavior come back to haunt a presumed happy path.

    I’m no literary critic, but I did enjoy Mr. Phillip’s use of the English language and for some reason a particular description of the moon as a “fingernail sliver” was very creative to me. Thank you Jeff Phillips. Whiskey Pike: A Bedtime Story for the Drinking Mankind. (Volume 1)

    a new genre entirely, October 28, 2010
    By 

    The pleasure of reading Whiskey Pike is due not entirely to the fact that it is unlike anything I’ve read before. Phillips has managed to navigate a space between adult and children’s fiction– creating what is, as described, “a bedtime story for adults.” His language is descriptive and fluid, full of original metaphors and arresting descriptive passages of his characters and the environments in which they reside. The story itself manages to be both tongue-in-cheek and heartbreaking. Can’t wait to see what comes next from this new author.

    Great story for advocates of good characters and good booze, March 28, 2010

    Not only have I read “Whiskey Pike” myself but I’ve also had the pleasure of experiencing the insightful author, Jeff Phillips, narrate this enjoyable bedtime story at a book reading. This fictional tale held my attention from beginning to end and developed my sentiment for each character. The language Phillips uses makes a perceivably dysfunctional family seem endearing. A quick read, this book is exactly as it is described: “A bedtime story for the drinking mankind.” I would enjoy reading this book many more times, but next time I would make sure to have a glass of Jim Beam by my side.
