"Parents and readers ... are in for a treat with Dale E. Basye's very funny debut novel." The Wall Street Journal
"In his uproarious send-up of all things purgatorial, debut novelist Basye gives readers a new lease on afterlifes. The author’s umpteen clever allusions…make this book truly sparkle." Starred Review - Publishers Weekly
“Complete with a touching and instructive ending, this book is the second cornucopia of corny humor and creative characters in a series that seems destined to, Dante-style, drag readers through all nine levels of a hilariously imagined Heck.” School Library Journal
“Dale E. Basye is truly a gift to the world of YA fiction. His series is unique and completely charming. The challenges that Milton and Marlo face in their journey to find their way out of Heck are sometimes frightening but always hilarious and will make this series a must read for generations to come.” Bitten By Books
“The BEST book of 2011! Imaginative, creative, out-there, fantastical, illustrious, drop-dead (excuse the pun) funny – not enough words to describe this writer’s pure and effortless work!!! Thank goodness there are more Circles of Heck to visit!” Feathered Quill Book Reviews
" “Dale E. Basye continues to delight with his adventures of doomed siblings, Milton and Marlo Fauster. He is a master at clever dialogue and even more clever puns. Exploring the Circles of Heck is a journey that promises lots of laughter. With that, said reader, Beware the Grin Reaper." Bitten By Books
“Milton and Marlo Fauster are in Heck . . . literally. Basye’s sixth offering in the Circles of Heck series does not disappoint. It is loaded with humor, puns, and allusions that will keep readers chuckling. This is a solid addition for early adolescent collections.” VOYA - Dawn Talbott / Barnes and Noble
" “Dale E. Basye has triumphed yet again. Besides being extraordinarily entertaining, Mr. Basye manages to somehow make his books educational, as well. Wise Acres painlessly and pun-derfully imparts, not only grammar lessons to the unsuspecting reader, but also a message about how hurtful words can be.” Bitten By Books
