A great read October 7, 2008

I purchased An Island Away with the thought of holding on to it till my trip to Aruba in Nov. I could not resist and started the book. I could not put it down. It was entertaining and offered a bit of a different Aruba, from what I have seen. The book was well written and had me so involved with knowing what was going to happen I could not put it down. I can't wait for the next installment.

Phenomenal Story October 1, 2008

Mr. Putkowski has created an engaging drama about three very different souls whose lives converge in Aruba. He has cleverly developed their characters into the reader's new simpatico literary "friends." As the story developed, I could not put the book down, wondering what would come next. All three characters come to understanding of "who they really are." There are unexpected twists. The descriptions reminded me of Steinbeck, the drama and humor recalls DeMille. I would recommend this book to anyone who would enjoy a fresh new story from a brilliant new author. It has been a long time since I have enjoyed a novel to as much as this one.
 Vivid and surprisingly multi-dimensional characters in a riviting story October 1, 2008
A riveting story is woven out of the very well developed characters that live in or come to the non tourist part of Aruba. Hard to put down. Best read under a palm tree overlooking the water, but if this is not convenient, the author's vivid descriptions of the scenery and the "vibe" will transport you there and make you want to return.

An outstanding book, kept my interest waiting to see what happened next. As a frequent visitor to Aruba, it was hard to tell what was fact and what was fiction. I can't wait until the next time I see Charlie (Nov/Dec) to get on the invitation list to one of his parties!!!
Daniel is a gifted writer and I can't wait until the sequel is published.
