Door Number Three Receives Positive Review and “Recommended Review” from The US Review of Books

At Holzer Books LLC, we are proud to announce that Door Number Three by Ronald Paul Stassens has received a positive professional review from The US Review of Books, along with the publication’s distinguished “Recommended Review” designation.

This recognition reflects both the strength of the novel and our continued commitment to publishing meaningful, high-quality books.

Highlights from the Review

In its review, The US Review of Books (USRB) summarizes the story of Gene Freeman — a man born with a physical deformity who faces rejection throughout childhood and adulthood, yet refuses to allow those experiences to define his future.

The USRB writes:

“Stassens delves deeply into Gene’s emotions, reactions, and internal thoughts, allowing readers to connect with him on a profound level.”

The review further recognizes the novel’s central message of perseverance:

“The author highlights Gene’s emotional resilience, showcasing his determination to pursue his goals despite others’ doubts.”

The concluding takeaway emphasizes that readers are reminded not to let anything stand in the way of their dreams — a message that aligns strongly with the heart of this book.

What the “Recommended Review” Designation Means

In addition to a positive evaluation, Door Number Three was awarded a “Recommended Review.”

This designation is reserved for books that stand out in quality, writing, and overall merit. It signals to readers, librarians, booksellers, and industry professionals that the title is considered especially worthwhile. Not every reviewed book receives this recognition, making it a meaningful distinction for both author and publisher.
