Reviews:
TCM Reviews had this to say about Vencil:
This book is an absolute gem. Frank Shima writes with both clarity and richness. While anyone who likes a good story will enjoy the chapters in this book, readers will find much here that will evoke smiles and maybe even a tear or two.
Armchair Interviews says:
Vencil is a well-written book. Nice story, well told.
Mary Ann Grossmann of the St. Paul Pioneer Press wrote:
Novels narrated by boys who grew up on farms are a dime a dozen in Minnesota. But Shima, who lives in Pine Springs, Minnesota, does an especially nice job of telling a story filled with family love.
