“What an odd little book! But odd in a good way. This whole story is told by a laundromat … Author Biff Mitchell has a unique writing style that makes this book a great read. The story is just out of the ordinary, which compelled me to read it. This sense of style he has is just what is needed to make this an enjoyable--and funny--read.”

LISA ANN in Book Review Café

“(Mitchell’s) expertise in using descriptive language is admirable … (Heavy Load) is a very funny book and one that is written with great skill.”

Douglas Large in eBook Reviews Weekly

“It's not quite the fairytale it at first appears. Before the end of the first chapter, there's a change in mood, a hint of something dark and threatening, as the Washing Green reveals that, not only is it aware of everything that goes on inside its four walls, but it can also read human minds. In case we should tire of the novelty of the non-human narration, the author avoids revealing his hand all in one go, keeping back little titbits, so that each chapter becomes a mini-cliffhanger. That's what makes this a real page-turner.” 

Deborah Fisher in Tregolwyn Reviews

“You won't find any one-dimensional actors on this stage. Mitchell has used the original concept of a mind-reading laundromat to allow his readers a glimpse into the psyche of some very complex individuals.”
