Customer Reviews

Tunica at it's Best (Worst!)

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. I think his was a trip I would have enjoyed, after we were back home, safe in Missouri. 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.

Wonderful Book

Wonderful Book Frank 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. Scoblete has written a great book for us to truly enjoy.

A must read

What can I say that hasn't been said already? This is a terrific book. You run the gamut when you read it. The book is surreal, humorous, outrageous, side-splitting, frightening, uproarious and thoroughly entertaining. I just bought a whole bunch to send to my family and friends. I think anyone would find this book completely enjoyable.

Fast-paced and fun.

The Virgin Kiss is a fast read that is enjoyable from start to finish. Sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes poignant and sometimes even scary but always fun and interesting. I love a quick-hit memoir - just enough to get a helping of a person's life but not too much to feel that I've over indulged and the Virgin Kiss is the right choice on the menu. I highly recommend it.

A look back at a life

A highly personal narrative of memorable events in one man's life. Mr. Scoblete conveys adolescent angst with the stories of his first kiss and his attempt to lose his virginity. The account of a trip to Tunica MS is a fish out of water culture clash laugh riot. Mr Scoblete also details what he believes to be visits to what he calls the 'weird world", through some type of astral projection, he is able to make contact with a world inhabited by spirits and strange beings. This is a bonanza for those inclined to believe in such things. Mr. Scoblete also draws on his background as a N.Y. teacher to confirm the challenges, trials and tribulations of a modern day educator. Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant. The supernatural chapters will make all but true believers wonder whether one of his students may have slipped something into his coffee. As the every man Mr.Scoblete encounters obstacles, bad marriage...worse divorce..tough job, illness, etc.. In the end, he finds happiness with the one woman that was always out there waiting for him ...but not knowing she was waiting. In his follow-up book Mr. Scoblete should consider memorializing some of his adventures with "The Captain's Crew" a band of Runyonesque gamblers, businessmen, and odd ball characters that prowled the streets of Brooklyn and Atlantic City in the 1980.
