Professor Guerrero's Blog: Book Review of East of Tiffany's by Johan Arenas

I found East of Tiffany's to be great, I hadn't read a book beginning to end in about six years, but yesterday when I sat down to read this book; I had the mindset that I would read the first ten pages and then I would sit down and watch some TV, but the book started to grow on me.

I finished the book this afternoon and must admit that thanks to this book an interest to read has came over me. The book was easy to read yet challenging, it was entertaining yet so real, I was able to get to know so many people in the book, so many stories yet all coming together to the same place.

This book is great for anyone who lives in a city as big as New York, and yet feel it so empty, because it shows the humanity that even though at times it seems that we lack we all are the same kind humankind.

And last but not least this book can be a great inspirational tool for all veterans coming from war as myself, who feel that we are alone, this book shows that we are not, and that there are other veterans in the past who have gone through the same things and made it.

Thanks to Mary Duffy and Marciano Guerrero for putting this together, it has been a great inspiration for me. I hope to read more books in the future by you.

If you are interested in seeing how I achieved personal success in the United States, you may find my book of short stories East of Tiffany's interesting. Some of the stories are based on my life as an executive, investment banker, and financial adviser to wealthy investors in the East Side of Manhattan.

Close to half-million people have read East of Tiffany's so far. Order your copy from either Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble.

Since English is my second language, Mary Duffy --a master of the English language-- aided me not only with the editing, but she also contributed her own stories. I love her writing in "When You Wish Upon a Star." This is a story based on a personal friend's life.
