Reviews (Excerpts)

- “[...] This is a story that is fundamentally original and inventive. It forces its reader to ask pressing questions about not only the state of the protagonist's heart and mind, but their own, and proves to both that the ideas we sometimes hold dear may limit us in imperceptible but very life altering ways. A deeply resonant read that manages to be funny without sacrificing its gravity. Highly recommended!” - zibilee (Amazon)

- “[...] I loved this book much more than I planned to, starting it expecting a fun but ultimately lightweight read. Inside, I was amused and moved by Gunnar's adventures.
I don't give five stars just because I like a book, but usually have to be able to see more than entertainment to give that rating. Absolute Zero turned out to be great entertainment, but also much more. I'm now a Meeks fan.”
- MJ Guthrie

- “[...] Love at Absolute Zero is likely to appeal to a variety of readers. The romance at its heart is leavened by references to what I can only assume is real science, and by humor ranging from near slapstick to the kind of inside jokes scientists tell each other at the water cooler.
As Gunnar puts it so well, 'people were just elements looking to be a compound.' ”
- Sam Sattler

- “A lot of very funny scenes and plot twists keep the narrative bouncing along. If this is the guy's version of a romantic comedy/chick lit, give me more[...]” ― Holly C. (Amazon)

- “This book truly is thrilling, I am so glad this was mentioned to me by a friend.
If you want a book that has an original plot and captivating characters this is the book for you!”
― Georgia Conroy
