September 1, 2004 Independent Publisher, August 27, 2004, Nina L. Diamond “You have to read this book.
Really, you do. You won’t be sorry. I promise. Yes, it’s that good.

history…”’

Ashland Daily Tidings, May 21, 2004, Andrew Scot Bolsinger “I
start the conversation with Gerry Jones about his book, "Ginny Good," by
telling him that I just finished it and passed it on to my 17-year-old
daughter to read…”
Small Spiral Notebook, 2004, Jennifer Leblanc “Ginny Good is a
page-turning memoir in which Gerard Jones paints a fascinating, sad story
of San Francisco in the 60’s…”
The Compulsive Reader, 2004, Henry Berry “As the title lets you know,
the central character is Ginny Good. She's the narrator's girlfriend for a
while, and infatuation continually. He first encounters her in a Jazz
Workshop in North Beach, California he signed up for with his friend

discover that they did not invent sex and drugs and rock and roll."
Mya Bell’s Web Log, March 4, 2005, Mya Bell “Oh,
speaking of spring and flowers and that whole hormone energy thing that
happens this time of year, a couple of weeks ago I was cruising through
Gerard Jones' site and read his rant on the publishing business, Jews, and
his novel called Ginny Good…”
Bardscratchrs.com, August 06, 2004, “Mr Loverman”
“The last of the three epigraphs at
the beginning of Gerard Jones' first novel states that "By writing a book,
a man frees his mind from an overwhelming impression." This (unusually for
an epigraph) is not a bad introduction to the book, which tells the story
of the author's life, centered around his love for 'the first hippie': the
eponymous Ginny Good…”
In the Shadow of Mt. Hollywood, July 11, 2004, John Bruce “Ginny
Good is 350 pages long. The first 50 pages should have had more
rework than they got. So sue me, Gerard. The last 100 pages are a tour
de force…”
