March 21, 2009: Reader Views (reviews by readers for writers)
"The book begins and ends relating a series of visits by a distinguished guest in the home of 94-year old Floyd Akerly. Floyd narrates the story of the golf game, Evan Wilkins, the European battlefield and of his part in the story. The final scenes lead to a climactic, unexpected, dramatic conclusion.
Golf enthusiasts will know that to shoot an albatross is rare, a double eagle. It may mean shooting a seabird, or shooting an individual that holds back a man’s achievement. Steve[n] R. Lundin has masterfully crafted “Shooting an Albatross” around this theme.
This is a book for anyone enjoying the genre of intrigue, suspense, or romance. Lundin includes the use of comedy and the game of golf to draw the reader into a look into the past, a heartwarming story, and a madman’s psyche. “Shooting an Albatross” by Steven R. Lundin is a great read."
March 19, 2009: The New Podler Review of Books:
"Lundin's plot in Albatross is of literary quality, and Albatross is a study in the nature of evil, deliberating on its origin and tracking its progress through human lives as it leaves a trail of destruction and suffering, moving from one generation to another, from one life into another, like a terrible infestation poisoning all that it touches.“
January 17, 2007: Critic Cynthia Sherman
“…this novel should be made into a movie… [Shooting an Albatross] will have a mass appeal…the imagery is fantastic…this will be a HUGE, HUGE success.”
