"... Great storytelling! The author sees "the story inside the story" and communicates each one succinctly and effectively. His observations are a gift and so is his way of communicating them. I laughed. I cried. It made me email my 84-year-old mother. I could smell the leather of my father's shoes. THAT'S good writing...."

''Buccino takes us where we've all been, in these charming, very readable, accessible essays. It's quite pleasant revisiting the innocence that he creates or remembers in these often wry and witty observations about life. The writing is very good, even, and flows nicely, to make one want to read more.... The author could even be played up a bit on the cover, such as ''New Jersey's 'Garrison Keillor' '' or something to that effect. ... There should be definite regional interest in this book. But Buccino writes well enough to draw a national audience as well ...''

 



"... Advice to author: while you are rightly likened to a number of other writers, be sure to stay Anthony Buccino. There are no duplicates."
