Uncle Olaf and the Day Room: Sometimes it's hard to tell crazy from dead.

Set in a large psychiatric hospital, this tender coming of middle-age tale centers around shifting realities, cognitive dissonance, and the dismantling of ego. It's sort of like War and Peace only a lot shorter and with more funny parts. And it has pictures so it's not so tedious.

5This book left me wanting even more!  Jan 03, 2010
By S. Hohl
I loved the book and everthing it made me feel. From smiling to laughing and always looking for one of Uncle Olaf's next comments on life.
Creative, always surprising and loved the art work! I felt like I was making this journey with her and wondering where we were going to end up. Short but expressed in such an easy manner it does get you to the end. Now I want to know what's next!
Renny Bloom took me on a crazy ride and I liked it!

5Uncle Olaf and the Dayroom  Dec 21, 2009
By DALBirdie
This is a great read! It is colorful, compelling, witty, insightful, and downright funny. I found the narrator so honest it almost hurt, yet she exudes a certain genuine innocence. I found myself thinking perhaps everyone could use an Uncle Olaf in their lives.

Renny Bloom is a promising new writer with a particularly unique perspective on this thing we call life.

5Wonderful Little Book!!!  Dec 18, 2009
By J. Judd
It's an amazing story of a young woman coping with major life changes. She moves to a Caribbean "paradise" and leaves her occupation, friends, family and everything familiar behind. The author shares the story with such humor and honesty, that you can't help but be completely pulled in. I laughed until I cried.

The story addresses questions asked by all of us: What make me tick? What is my purpose? What is the ultimate reality of my existence? Deep in range of philosophy, religion and spirituality, and punctuated with pictures and photos, the story speaks to the human soul. Told with a childlike innocence, the language is clear and easy.

A couple of things that travelers will appreciate are the story length and the large type. The font is part of the art of this book. It works so well with the pictures and gives the feel of the young woman writing in her journal. It makes for a very easy read in a car or plane (I could actually read it without my glasses). It's also the perfect length for a trip. You can read it in a couple of hours, though you'll wish for more.
