"Barber tells his stories with a light and easy-to-read touch. His plots have riveting qualities that keep the reader's eyes glued to the page. His fast moving style avoids wordy setups. Barber cuts right to the point and takes you along for an exciting ride. Identical Harts, a story of twins separated and unaware of each other's existence for many years, is vintage Lou Barber." 
 

"I found the Identical Harts story line to be compelling and it held my interest from beginning to end. It was difficult to keep from turning to the end of the book to see how it was all going to turn out. From small town New England to the frozen wastelands of Siberia, the tragedies and triumphs kept the tension high throughout the read."
 

"In Identical Harts, one becomes immediately drawn into the story. The characters and events reminded me of persons in my lifetime growing up. Lou maintains a separate distinction between the twin brothers with ease and keeps them actively moving from one life sequence to the next. It's a story that could easily have happened. As a US Army Aviator, I experienced a lot of what Lou described about the Army Caribou Airplane (a beautiful flying machine), which impressed all of us who flew it.  This is good clean reading about a historical time. I highly recommend Lou Barber's book."
 

"Identical Harts is splendid reading for those who love adventure mixed with a touching family saga. I found the story of twin brothers, separated as infants and unaware of each other's existence for years, entertaining and compelling. I read with anxious interest to discover how they would eventually meet. I was especially pleased that the story continued after the men met. It was most engaging to see them evolve from strangers into loving brothers. The women in each of their lives play a large part in the story, which makes excellent reading for both men and women."

"When Lou Barber asked me to review Identical Harts, I reluctantly agreed. I am so busy that each day goes by like an hour. It seems like there is never enough time to accomplish my pending workload. Once I started reading Lou's book, I found myself carrying it with me. It is one of the most gripping stories I have ever read. I will not be surprised to see it on the best seller's list."
