Review
Fresh, rich, and strikingly creative in style, Juggernaut is a rare feast of a novel from an emerging author of uncommon talent. Through a painstakingly developed aesthetic, Michel Semienchuk has created a novel placed firmly and unmistakably in the urban culture and ambiance of Montreal. His gift for dialogue, ability to impart complex emotions and feeling, and charming knack for showing us the beautiful nooks and crannies of Canada’s European city all help to make Juggernaut an incredible read."http://www.sweetbabyjenkinspress.com.
