One reviewer, named Chris Haas (unknown to the author), posted the following review:
Sometimes That Happens With Chicken is a great book. It blazes beyond what we have come to expect from modern fiction and stands alone as a brilliant and unique masterpiece. I haven't had so much fun reading since reading Salinger's Nine Stories. Like the characters in a Salinger story, we know these people. We knew them before we opened the book and we'll go out and see them in the street when we close it. Not all of us are prepared to except the truthful, comical and tragic oddity that fills our lives; but, those who are willing to take the ride will be out of breath and in awe at page 252. Despite my allusions to Salinger, this is not a work from the past. Wanda Shapiro is a writer of today. Of this moment. She is writing with the likes of Charlie Kaufman. Shapiro possesses a wealth of social and psychological insight but she also offers a voice that is completely her own. Richly drawn scenes, imaginative twists and the funniest, most ambitious climax scene I've ever read. This is a work to be triumphed and I suspect Wanda Shapiro will be one of the important literary voices of the 21st century.
Readers seem to be rallying around Shapiro's new novel as well as her approach to publishing. Onegirlonenovel.com is an experiment in indie literature and Shapiro has gone all in. Foregoing a traditional publisher Shapiro is bravely following in the footsteps of indie musicians and indie film makers, taking yet another medium down the independent path.
Following the indie tradition, Shapiro is bringing her debut novel directly to readers, offering first a free download of Sometimes That Happens With Chicken, before it goes for sale around the end of March.
