This is a great book!

Outstanding and entertaining , some profound insights and excellent writing !

I finished your book several days ago. I found it to be so interesting and thought provoking that I am presently re-reading some of the story based on notes I jotted down. I used the glossary prior to and after each chapter. TGDW is a great read, and I recommend it highly. I also will be providing your book as gifts to friends and family. Super job Ralph.

If I may, some additional praise for your book. Great job developing the characters. Having the pictures of them was a huge plus! Your insertion of humor as the story unfolded literally had me laughing out loud. With that said, the seriousness of the story was never lost. The comparisons of some events in the story to past unrelated events was masterfully accurate.

Where do I begin? I couldn’t wait to start reading your book and now that I’m finished, here’s my humble opinion. Your mastery of the English language is second to none. I’m glad you included the glossary as I referred to it prior to and after each chapter. I actually knew some of the terms. Hard to believe based on our similar but yet different backgrounds.
The story was absolutely captivating. Understand that I don’t in anyway feel qualified to make any kind of statement without first saying I have no credentials to be a good reference other than I have read a considerable amount through the years.
My feelings were I was being entertained while getting an education plus getting to reminiscence about our young lives. That in itself made this book precious to me. A heartfelt thank you just doesn’t seem enough.
You with your words were able to paint pictures in my mind of the events occurring and that in itself warrants “great job”.

Finished the book and didn’t want the story to end! I used the glossary prior to each chapter and after. Your book should be required reading for most. I will be providing my other copies to friends and family members. Kudos to you Ralph. Captivating story.

Weaving in and out of reality and fiction,”The Goose Drank Wine” is both suspenseful and captiving. It is quite unlike anything I have ever read. You will quickly become hooked and not want to put it down. A must read is an understatement. Perfectly orchestrated. Superb!
