Review "Pinto's blistering style elevates the narrative. Intense, nasty, judgmental, sarcastic, depressed and sometimes just plain speechless, Barca speaks sentences and phrases that sandblast into each other making the reader almost want to duck and cover."- IndieReader"A fresh, irreverent novel." - ForeWord Clarion Reviews (Five star review)"A clever, edgy, fast-paced take on man's timeless quest for meaning and authenticity within a society that celebrates the superficial over creative and spiritual fulfillment. Pinto's rapid-fire writing style and mercurial social analysis make for a very unique, thought-provoking perspective. He nailed it." - The Huffington Post "Striking imagery, witty and often dark prose ... an insider look into an industry that at once fascinates and disgusts. Pinto has captured a moment in time that will be likened to the heyday of yuppies on Wall Street in the 80's and the Gatsbies of the roaring twenties."  - Pinkmafia.ca"A surprisingly complex novel about music and self-evaluation. (Pinto's) considerable narrative skills weave together a spot-on portrait of a mercenary business world with a moving account of one man's internal upheaval." - Kirkus Indie Reviews Product Description Charles has reached his personal nirvana: celebrity artist girlfriend, the hot music start-up of the day, and the regional status of a minor rock star. But that was all before the music stopped ... About the Author The Sabbatical is the debut novel of Frederick Pinto, an entertainment lawyer and writer based in Montreal.
