It is this author’s first release and truly bears looking into.Mr. Fedele’s writing has been described in glowing terms.
Guy Verreault categorizes it in this fashion, “[Mr. Fedele has] a vivid imagination. This [book] is as good as Harry Potter.”
Vicki P. Bowman strongly re-enforces this estimation. She indicates that “[Mr. Fedele] is a remarkable author, and his imagination is very sharp indeed.” She further states, “What a charming movie this [book] would make.”
Joseph Frank Baraba continues in the praise. He states, “Mario S. Fedele is a great storyteller and writer. His writing flows smoothly, and you don’t want to put the book down.”
Carol Bennett adds still more. “Mario S. Fedele has written a wonderful book filled with fantasy and wit.”
John C. Keohane carries on with the accolades. “[Mr. Fedele’s] book is a delight to read. Both stories show a great imagination, and he really [has] a way with [words.]”
Regarding the first story in the book, Anthony W. Downen writes, “The story is an unusual telling, in a mythical sense, of helping a troubled child through adolescence…It echoes the sentiment of two heads are better than one, in this case three are better, and the age old pursuit of confronting your fears. As the title of the book suggests, this is a story for a stormy night. And perhaps even better as a fun teaching tool to kids of that age group.”
Commenting on the second story, “A Sickness by Any Other Name,” Peter R. Harris states, “The language is impressive, and the vampire stereotype is well executed with a unique twist added…It actually makes the reader question our own viability—assessing who is the victim and who the aggressor…There exists an almost Machiavellian role for the main characters, which makes one think hard about trust, love, relationships and how these things are taken for granted in our society.”
To paraphrase the caption on one of Elvis Presley’s albums, these many people “can’t be wrong.”
Mario S. Fedele is a force to be reckoned with. His work has received laudable praise and merits serious attention.
