The Long Lunch

Teddy Boy Locsin Jr. called it "a truly fun read" and urged his Twitter followers to "get a copy." Award-winning author Amy Uy said, "This is one of the most enjoyable books I have read in a while . . . Despite its title, it's not a food book (there's a crispy pata story in there, though) but the stories lend much to savor about work, raising kids, eating, friendships and life in general." Book reviewer Jeff Tan added, "It's funny and yet imparts wisdom on how one should live life." Entertainment editor Leah Salterio described it as "orgasmic". CNN Philippines boss Tek Ramos-Major, "FANTASTIC". My niece Andrea Samson Madero recounted, "I wrote in my reading journal that I'd give the book 5 stars."

One of my favorites came from a nine-year-old: "Mommy, tell [the author] this is such a good book." Not my son.
