A Fabulous Read .....
Format: Paperback
To say I enjoyed "There's
More" by Alfred J. Garrotto is putting it mildly. It is gripping and hard
to put down. The characters come alive on every page. Each personality is very
distinct (especially the deeply troubled Mattie Logan). Having Bishop Myriel from
"Les Miserables" narrate the story is such a creative and effective
touch. The story line expands one's imagination in profound ways about what
happens when we die-or rather, "transform" to Life. This has to be a
movie!Kathryn Davi-Cardinale, author "Joseph, My Son-My guide"

A Delightful Tale of Intrigue
By G. Murphy
Format: Paperback
Alfred J.Garrotto's 'There's More - A Novella of Life and Afterlife' belies definitive categorization. Yes, it has storyline development, credible characterization, and a satisfying denouement; but here is an author who knows how to take artistic license and have fun with it! I mean where else would you find a Spirit Guide / Narrator (Bishop Charles Francois Myriel, from Victor Hugo's classic, "Les Miserables"), a priest turned major league baseball pro (John Thorne), and an orthopedic surgeon (Dr. William Everett) with a questionable past, converge in a tale about the greatest mystery of all: the hereafter? Nowhere else but in the fertile imagination and fluid prose of a great storyteller. As per the author's expansive imagination, the narrative is peppered with delightful vignettes of 'life after life' - all of which are intriguing, consoling, and comforting. I recommend this 'gem' for your upliftment and thoughtful reflection. You won't be disappointed!

A five star rating for "There's More..., A Novella of Life and Afterlife
Format: Kindle Edition
Life dealt a blow to Jack Thorne
that left him powerless to continue his priestly ministry. It seemed an act of
mercy and relief when he was mortally wounded playing baseball in the big
league. Jack Thorne's story continues first in the transition of the afterlife,
when he is ministered by Bishop Myriel, a French bishop from the 19th Century,
who leads Thorne to face past experiences, some with crisis' to be solved. I
thank and praise Alfred Garrotto's creativeness in writing this story.

Format: Paperback
When I turned the last page of
'There's More' and closed the cover, I thought I had finished the book. The
truth is that 'There's More' is not finished with me. I find myself playing the
scenes over and over in my head. The possibilities of judgment and afterlife
keep sparking my imagination. Alfred Garrotto's writes with an immediacy that
held me hostage until the end. This book is a keeper to be reread, certainly
when I am facing the last pitch of life.

wait for his next novel.
