"Yeager's essays are a quirky joyride through the intersection of middle age, suburbia and parenthood"
"Yeager's engaging comic pieces exude native intelligence and hard-won wisdom"
"Breakfast At Noon: Backwards In The ‘Burbs by C. R. Yeager is an easy-to-follow and quite humorous take on the conundrum of living the suburban life in an age of the ‘Sandwich Generation’. Focusing upon the compromises invoked by raising children while also taking care of aging parents, Breakfast At Noon offers fifty-one tactfully authored essays ranging in subject from Handbag Hell; Heavy Petting; and Once Smitten, Twice Shy; to Cease and De-list. Breakfast At Noon is very highly recommended reading, particularly for members of the Sandwich Generation for its hilarious satirical but all-too-true interpretation of life and responsibility for baby boomer age grown-ups as well as offering a thoroughly thought-out and well written social analysis."
"185 pages of the best humor since Erma Bombeck. If you can't relate to most of what Yeager writes about, look for your ship back to Mars to land any minute."
"The dubious pleasures of living in the suburbs, where raccoons use window boxes at will as latrines and cars are apparently smarter than their drivers, are the focus of these essays by Yeager. ...there are resonances here, particularly for suburban dwellers and parents alike."
"...accurate and entertaining... An absolute must for anyone interested in the perils of suburban mid-life."
"Yeager is not quite your typical suburban Dad, but his subjects are universal. His unique background and experiences make for many entertaining and offbeat insights into modern family life."
"A witty approach to everyday life events that will make you laugh out loud."
