Review: "4-stars: Gary, the Four-Eyed Fairy and Other Stories is an entertaining romp, full of irreverent humor that leaves you wanting more...chronicling the life and times of J.T. Glass, a security guard armed with a sharp tongue, keen wit and vivid imagination...each story in this collection can stand on its own, but read together, the book feels more like a novel told out of chronological order, or like a puzzle that engages you, the reader, to assemble and experience the transformation from boy to man. The dialogue is crisp, the nuances are rich, most of the stories move at a fast clip, and you’ll be laughing or crying most of the journey.
Mundo knows how to delight and surprise, no holds barred. He has an excellent command of story, and the courage to go dark. Upon discovering some horrible truths about his deceased roommate, J.T. wrestles beautifully with his conscience in “A Friend In Need.” “Remorse” dares to walk that tightrope, balancing comedy and tragedy. The witty banter and innuendo in “A Conversation Piece” sets the tone of for the wild and crazy times defining J.T.’s life." -- Indiereader.com (12-31-2013)
"Well worth a read...A sharply observed take on the human condition, it's full of off-beat humour, life lessons and moral dilemmas." Named a "Favourite Read for April 2012" - multi-story.co.uk
