Here are some random reviews of Lithiumbuzz
Electric City/Diamond City (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA)
Review date: 7/10/2008
"Clyde transcends his former misery to produce an astonishing and powerful work of literature. Imagine Holden Caulfield from Catcher in the Rye explaining a stay in the mental institution from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and you'll get an idea of what the buzz is all about...The words on every page overflow with passionate, vibrant emotion...Clyde's madman [protagonist, Marcus Dolby] resounds more truth and sanity than most, and with more heart as well...Dolby narrates with heart-rending honesty...as he points out with wit and laugh-out-loud humor the ironies of an absurd world, which is apathetic to his condition.
"Even in the midst of Dolby's epic struggle to control his own life, he focuses outside his losing battle to empathize with the tragedies of a myriad of vividly unforgettable characters surrounding him...The novel is quite a ride...Hold tight and clear your afternoon schedule before you begin this rollercoaster. In the spirit of Chuck Palahniuk, the raw, in your face dialogue whips the reader around loops and corkscrews, yet leaves [them] craving more. Fair warning: You may find yourself unable to stop turning the pages.

A "Must Read"
Lithiumbuzz, a novel that bleeds heartache and loss, shows us a character who is at once witty and downright funny, while at the same time tragic and lost. Marcus Dolby, our narrator, gives the reader a glimpse into the mind of a madman. He is broken, beaten and torn, and yet his resolve is strong. He is David to his own Goliath. The author, Andrew P.H. Clyde, writes almost lyrically; his prose are like a song. And then he throws a curveball into the harsh reality of a cruel world where no one cares about the "afflicted" ... It's truly a remarkable novel from such a young author ... Let me know when you come out with another [novel] Mr. Clyde. I'll be waiting for my copy.

"This gem of a novel, written by Andrew P.H. Clyde, looks deep into the heart of the reader and shows them a character close to Salinger's original loner in Catcher in the Rye. The difference here is that the author isn't showing how fake society has become, but, rather, how uncaring. Beautifully written prose combined with raw-as-sandpaper dialogue makes this a "must-read."

"Raw and gritty, while at the same time tragic and heartbreaking. Clyde gives us a world where there are no winners in the life of the mentally ill. Like he writes, 'There is no cure for crazy.' Marcus Dolby is like a modern day Gregor Samsa, trapped in his shell, unable to move, unable to leave the locked confines of his own mind. A staggering work."

Fantastic Book!
MikeS, student, 06/30/2008
From beginning to end (it took me an afternoon to finish it, that's how quick the read is) it goes from searingly heartbreaking, to hilariously dead-pan, to tragic. It's got everything you could want in a book, including a great message: Do unto others as you would do to yourself. The writing is astounding. I saw what I thought were a few typos, but they seemed intentional, which was really cool. The author's style of writing is very manic and then, at the end, you can actually SEE Dolby's psychosis in the writing. I highly recommend this book. It's not like anything you've ever read before, I can tell you that. And it's not hard to understand. If you are an avid reader, the book will move you to tears, and the dual story lines meet at the end in a way you wouldn't suspect. It's truly a great book. Astounding even.
Great Writer!

The writing in this book is absolutely astounding. Very fresh and unique, and the story is totally profound with a killer ending. Clyde has a talent for making his character both likeable and tragic. If there were any low points, I couldn't find it. He is unlike any other author I've ever read and his narrative flows effortlessly. The character of Dolby is alive in the reader's mind and the journey he takes you on is intense, sad, funny and heartbreaking. You read this book and you know that there is hope for the future of literature. John Gardner says that unconventional fiction is a passing fad. Let's hope not. Great read, great writer. Loved the book. Go get it. Read it. And love too!

I read this and I thought the writing was really cool. Like it was really new kind of writing. But I had NO idea what was going on. It went from the present to the past, and that confused me. I think Andrew Clyde is an amazing writer, I just don't get all the stuff about mental illness. I guess that's what he wanted though, for the reader to understand what it's like ot be mentally ill. Like it makes no sense. Like at the end where the words are all crazy, I guess he wanted us to see that it's really hard to be mentally ill. I would recommend it, but I just didn't get it. Give it a try and maybe I'm way off on this one. I'll wait for his next book and see if it makes more sense to me.

I found a lot of small parts that I didn't get, like the whole 'cyclical thinking' thing. It didn't make sense to me. But I guess that what was supposed to happen. Like the reader doesn't understand what the character is going through. But I LOVED the story and Clyde (no idea who he is) is like Jonathan Safron Foer in a way, that he has his wno voice and doesn't try to conform to the 'rules' of writing. I thought it was a great story, even if it was a little above my head at times. I recommend it.

I've never heard of Clyde before, but this book is amazing! It's funny and touching, and has a good message that everyone is different but should be treated the same. The character Dolby is like Holden Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye, only he's crazy. I would recommend this book to anyone who knows someon who is weird in some way. I really loved this book!
