Amazing, June 15, 2005
Reviewer: Joni Boca "Joni" (Florida)
I was given this book of short stories as a gift and took it along on a business trip with me. From the moment I opened the book, I could not put it down. It is written with such imagination that I was very sorry when it was over. The author needs to be applauded for what I consider to be an fantastic work. Thank you for writing it.

Try Giving It a Title, May 11, 2005
Reviewer: Joseph S. Topalian (REAL NAME)
What title would you give to this book of short stories (after you've read them, of course)? Here are two hints:(1)The stories are written in a sparkling style that will tickle your reading palate. (Try "Pleasure.") (2)The stories are short, varying in length from bite-size snacks to gourmet meals. In either case, you'll get a kick out the clever surprise endings that'll give you repeated satisfaction without endless page turning. (Try: "On the Run.")
Pleasure To Read, May 3, 2005
Reviewer: Larry (New York City)
The enjoyment of this book is derived from the irony of the plot lines and characterizations. I was compelled to finish each story to see how the protaganist solved a dilemma. Each character has a flaw and the author succinctly exposes the weakness and then allows the reader to discover how this person will rise above or be consumed by the flaw.
I especially loved the simplicity of the short story, "The Latest Deadlines." The heroine, Mary, frustrated by her limitations learns she does have an attribute that can allow her to succeed. It is a story that starts with anger and ends with warmth and charm.
This is the kind of book that is great to read on the beach, on a plane or just for plain fun.

What A Pleasure!!!, June 19, 2003
Reviewer: Jane (Florida)
I was lucky enough to receive this wonderful volume of stories as a gift. Each story offers humor, compassion, and sensitivity while commenting with great insight on the inherent paradoxes that characterize this realm of transient constant change. Mr. Blanco has a voice that I look forward to hearing from in the future. I recommend this book as a gift not only for travelers desiring entertainment on a flight, but for anyone who wants to be inspired any time, anywhere. This should be on every magazine's summer beach read list!!!
