Novel He has ever Read Says Top Amazon Reviewer

Press Release Body: Chicago, IL, November 01, 2008 -- "William Elliott Hazelgrove
has written one of the best novels that I have ever read." So ends Charles
Ashbacher's five star review five (Top 50 Amazon Reviewer) "William Elliott
Hazelgrove's ROCKET MAN is a brilliant piece of writing, a work that meticulously

to catch at least passing glances at us all." And so begins Grady Harps four star

The cyberworld is rapidly moving into the forefront of American book reviewing and
nowhere is the competition fiercer than on Amazon. com where reviewers compete for
ranking. Glowing reviews by top ranked reviewers can put a book on the map. That is
not to mention the thousands of book bloggers who review books and send readers
scurrying for the titles reviewed.

William Elliott Hazelgrove's Rocket Man has been making the rounds on sites such as
Library Thing where one reviewer wrote, "Rocket Man is a satire about the search for
the American Dream and all the devastating and sometimes hilarious consequences that
accompany it..." Another reviewer for the book online site, Front Street Reviews
said, "Hazelgrove's humor is subtly infused throughout the book and is unbelievably
witty." But the coveted online reviews are the ranked Amazon reviewers. These
reviewer have followers that go into the thousands and buy books on the reviewers
reccomendation.

Amanda Richards, another top 50 reviewer for Amazon, gave Rocket Man four stars and
writes, "This is a well written book with solid character development...a shrewd
loook at the other side of suburban living by a talented author." Obviously, the
traditional review publications, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, and American
Library Association are still very important.

But books like Rocket Man, brought out by smaller presses, get a tremendous boost
before the book is even published, sending book sales skyrocketing and giving
otherwise unknown authors a chance to reach their public. Rocket Man is due to be
released in December at regular bookstores, but the buzz has already begun in the
cyberworld. John Weaver of the popular literary site, pageonelit.com has made Rocket
Man one of his picks for October and conducted an online interview and review,
writing, "Rocket Man by William Hazelgrove is the finest and most compelling novel
of the year. Character, setting, fresh dialogue and a solid plot are all loaded and
ready for blast off." Well, we'll see. Certainly, Rocket Man is beginning to climb.
