Fascinating, Insightful, Well written, An Unexpected Love Story

Barry is an exceptional writer, a romantic and a real character with refreshing insights into human nature. His book gives the reader a look at the days of "Free Love" and an understanding that it was never free. The images Barry creates flow on the page and the depth of emotion evoked from his bittersweet romance is delightfully balanced with the humor of his 'moon' work. Barry McArdle is not your everyday 'Joe' his inventive mind and the quiet support of his father along with a secret dream to be a circus barker allow him to follow a dream that leads him to an entertaining income and a modicum level of celebrity. But secretly he is a romantic thrust into a generation that sees monogamous relationships as passe and free love as their mark on the world. With hormones raging, the romantic must succomb and true love wistfully lost. If you enjoy stories about people - fiction or biographical - you will find Barry McArdle's book fascinating and an easy read. He captures you with his love, his humor and his antics. Engaging and fun, I recommend - "I Sold The Moon."
