The writer LIVES his life

Great book. Funny stories. Not much more to say. I picked it up and never put it down. The poetry is more like little stories or advice. Wonderfully wierd guy I'd like to hang out with.

What a trip

"100 Percent True" is funny, whimiscal and reminiscent of a modern day Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. This book would make a wonderful addition to any library and a GREAT gift for anyone. I found that I couldn't put it down.

New Jersey now has its own Garrison Keillor

I'd love to sit around a campfire one autumn night listening to Garrison Keillor and Gerald Daniele swap stories. Mr. Daniele is now doing for New Jersey what Mr. Keillor does so quintessentially for Minnesota.

Daniele is a natural born storyteller, expressing himself in essays and poetry with a winning blend of savvy, naiveté, and humor. His work somehow reminds me of classic folk songs whose tales unfold in leisurely verses without the artificial commercialized structures of mass-market pop. Daniele doesn't force formulaic structure on his stories but instead lets them unfold naturally. Their authentic voice holds a quiet magic, reawakening you to your own life stories and memories as you read...and keeping you smiling along the way.

Daniele brings his everyday experiences to life in a way that inspires me to pay fresh attention to each day, and his sense of connecting with people and nature - and laughter - calls me back to what really matters most.

In addition to his machismo-filled stories, Daniele invites you to enjoy his unique rhyming words of wisdom that he likes to refer to as ?poetry for ordinary people??poetry minus the confusion, befuddlement, or brain strain associated with conventional prose.
