    Dorothy meets the Mad Hatter
  

*by N***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2013*

I adored this book! The book description on Amazon doesn't do it justice, it's so much more crazy, funny & is wrought with more emotion than what's it's depicted as, in the short buzz they give it.  The main character Elliott is trying to live his life as a gay man in the 1960's, his parents aren't keen on his choice of lifestyle, nor do they really acknowledge the talent that is within their son & at the same time, he is just trying to find some kind of happy & find his own niche in the world.  Elliott doesn't know it yet, but he will live the life he was meant to, he will become an artist, a decorative genius at that and he will get to meet his childhood desire - "Dorothy" aka Judy Garland, among other things - but first he has to survive many crazy personal disasters, pitfalls & set backs, before getting on the road to his own personal redemption & what will be the legacy he ultimately makes of that which is his life.  Yes, this is Elliott's journey, but you shouldn't miss being a part of it, because it's funny, heartwarming, poignant & just such a delightful read - get the book! I give it 5 Stars for totally entertaining me from the 1st page to the last!

    Good Read
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2011*

Palm Trees on the Hudson was a lovely book.  I got this book free (Now almost $15) from Amazon, left it sitting on my Kindle for a few months and finally read it this summer.  The book was a nice light read which I finished in one road trip.  It was a little difficult to make it through the beginning; I felt that the author was a little heavy-handed in his negative comments about his own parents, although he definitely set the scene for his childhood and growing up.  I enjoyed the storyline including the author's self-discovery and move to NYC as well as his lucrative design business, which I would like to have learned more about.  I, too, have a light Judy Garland obsession and thoroughly enjoyed the author's recount of his experience meeting her.I had no idea that Eliot Tiber penned Taking Back Woodstock until I finished the last chapter, and I was happy to have been oblivious for fear that it would have influenced my opinion of TBS.  Palm Trees on The Hudson isn't for everyone, however I thought it was an entertaining read.

    Laugh out Loud Funny.. But Made Me Shed a Tear, Too
  

*by M***P on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2011*

This was a Kindle freebie, and it piqued my interest.  What a wonderful story, and what a wonderful way to tell it!  This guy made me laugh out loud, made me cry (what made his mother treat him, or anyone, like that??) and the whole time I was reading it (four commutes and a half a weekend) I felt like one of my friends was telling me their story.  Not too self-aggrandizing, with a wonderful self-deprecating quality to it, I was quickly drawn in, and rode the wave of fun and excitement to the end.  While he didn't tie up all the ends into a perfect bow, I was satisfied with the end of the book as well.  A truly worthwhile glimpse into not only the 1950's and 1960's gay life in NYC, but into that era that came before the 70's, when gay pride came of age.  Enjoyable, fun, quick read.  Thank you, Elliot!
