Three separate publications hailed Tom LaMarr's print debut, October Revolution, as a "remarkable first novel." Catch-22 author Joseph Heller wrote, "Read your novel with much ease, excitement, and pleasure. I found it 'a lighthearted, dandy satire with a humorous plot and a variety of deft pops at many deserving targets.'" Publishers Weekly called Hallelujah City "a hectic, full-bodied account of a troubled young lady enmeshed in a bizarre religious cult," adding, "The plot is stocked with enough tension to hook readers until the chaotic, fiery climax." The Boulder Sunday Camera enthused, "Hallelujah City, like October Revolution, is a fast and funny read. Humor isn't easy to pull off, but LaMarr does it effortlessly... Yet Hallelujah City is a melancholy novel, a meditation on mistakes that can never really be unmade. That tension, between laughter and tears, makes it deeper and more complex than many a New York Times bestseller." Geezer Dad, Tom's funny, heartfelt memoir about getting a late start at parenting, reached #4 on Amazon’s Hot New Books in Parenting and Adoption. Adoptive Families Magazine named it one of the “Best Adoption Books of 2015.” Karin Evans, author of The Lost Daughters of China, called Geezer Dad “An engaging human journey, both heartwarming and hilarious.” Due Thanksgiving 2017, Zero Gravity is Tom's first YA book as well as the first in a trilogy. Per the jacket copy: In a world where gravity is losing strength and "lightweights" suddenly vanish into the sky, it's survival of the fattest for bulky Adam Weaver and his family. With Zero G seemingly imminent, the Weavers embark on a dangerous journey to reach and board NASA's Ark, a massive space craft and the last hope for Earth's survivors. But is there really a spaceship? Will the Weavers gain passage? And can a kid who once got picked on for being overweight prove that heroes come in all sizes?... Rodman Philbrick, author of Freak the Mighty, offered, "Zero Gravity is an intriguing tale, expertly told." Ravenhill author Timothy Hillmer, noted, "Zero Gravity is The Hunger Games with twice the humor and heart as well as a mind-bending premise. It’s an adventure fantasy that lifts off with all cylinders blazing and never lets up." Foreword Reviews weighed in with "Zero Gravity is author Tom LaMarr’s first YA novel, and hopefully not his last. This humorous, vivid novel is fast-paced, smart, and surreal—perfect for floating the hours away."
