Reviews

  • “Rearview Sunset, a novel by Wisconsin author Brett Champan, is a retrospective look at the life of Beau Jamison. It can also initiate a retrospective look at the reader’s life. Beautifully written…I expect we will see more from this Wisconsin author. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and predict it will be a winner.”

    — Joyce Laabs, The Lakeland Times, Minocqua, WI

  • “I really enjoyed reading Rearview Sunset. It has a great blend of emotions – it will make you laugh, cry, smile, and reflect on your own life and the path you took to get where you are today. Champan blends personal experience with fiction and the result is an inspirational and relatable book.”

    — Amanda Veldboom, Freelance Writer for Peninsula Pulse, Door County, WI

  • “Mr. Champan’s work is refreshing in an age of violence and difficult times, uplifting in both style and substance. Set in Wisconsin’s north, both the physical and spiritual landscape are engaging and compelling. If you like Mitch Albom’s work, the novel The Shack by William Paul Young, or the works of Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, Message in a Bottle), you will enjoy this book.”

    — Carol Lee, PhD, Professor Emerita, Wisconsin Public Library Director
