Can't wait for the next one from this great author. I could hardly put it down. Scoblete is a master story teller. This book is a must for anyone that enjoys humor and wit.
Now you can learn about the decline of Tunica, astral traveling, Frank's childhood and his other careers too.In the section on his teaching career, Frank tells what I think might be his first advantage-play move. The personal anecdotes in Frank's gambling books make them come alive and set them apart from other gambling books. The kids got their varsity letters, he got the coaching stipend, and the school got a cross country team, albeit one that never won a match. He formed a cross-country team out of mostly non-runners, some of whom would even stop for a smoke during a race. Readers get a sense of who the man is who wrote the books.Now the Wizard throws the curtain wide open and readers get to know the stories that only friends and family have heard. I am fortunate to have known Frank for about 10 years now and have heard some of these stories.
His other events in his wild life are well told, and anyone with an intrest in teaching, or writing, or gambling, or in astral travel will enjoy this book, and I highly recomend it to all. I think his was a trip I would have enjoyed, after we were back home, safe in Missouri. As a frequent traveler to Tunica Mississippi, I found Scoblete's discription of his time there to be both halirious and informative. Once in a while you can have a bad or funny experience there, but he seems to have had them all in one trip.
Scoblete has written a great book for us to truly enjoy. Wonderful BookFrank Scoblete's "The Virgin Kiss" does what so many books can't do, it grabs you from the very first paragraph and doesn't let go until you finish the last sentence. If you are looking for belly laughs, sprinkled with first love, innocence, sexuality, and amazing adventures this book is impossible to put down.
The book is surreal, humorous, outrageous, side-splitting, frightening, uproarious and thoroughly entertaining. What can I say that hasn't been said already. I think anyone would find this book completely enjoyable. I just bought a whole bunch to send to my family and friends. This is a terrific book. You run the gamut when you read it.
