Bow Chika Wow Wow

The Chinese Buffet keeps you on your toes as you read chapter after chapter. Its a mysterious-thriller that won't let you put it down. With the dragon and the legend along with the fortune cookies and the birthmark, i had this book finished like that!(snap) This has to be in my favorite stash of novels no doubt. Mr. Rose has a great sense of creativity and i'm soo looking forward the the next book!! (HURRY UP!)

Could not put this book down!!!!

This book is a page turner! I could not put it down. Mr. Rose has created an excellent story with lots of excitement. I can not wait until the next book! This would make a great movie!!!!!!!!!!

Keep your cats in the house!!!

At the risk of sounding cliché, The Chinese Buffet is one book you won't be able to put down! Rose weaves a malevolent tale of Chinese mythology and teenage quandaries. If you like stories that read like pieces of a puzzle falling into place, this novel is for you. Written for young teens, it is so filled with intrigue and mystery, as well as humor, that this thirty-something reader found herself lost in its gripping "claws" for hours on end. I can't wait see what Rose has in store for book number two!!

Anthony Rose ROCKS!

The Chinese Buffet is FANTASTIC!! This novel is captivating, daring, and creative. Rose's imaginative story line and clever insight make this book a must have. Once you pick it up you will never want to put it down. If you like unique heros facing overpowering dragons this book was made for you. I am eagerly waiting for the next two installments of this exciting trilogy.

A Diamond in the Rough

Anthony Rose takes creativity to the next level in The Chinese Buffet. Anticipating mediocrity from the rookie writer, Rose's wit and intellect threw a Brett Favre-like gem as it reached beyond all expectations with each page. Rose's excellence must be recognized! I can't wait for book 2!
