Reviews

"Well worth checking out." -- Dayton Daily News "The breezy little paperback offers hundreds of tips from the former investigative reporter, whose research is evident and sources carefully listed at the end. That keeps the attribution from cluttering up the info, which ranges from sublime to silly." -- Los Angeles Times/Travel blog "Food for thought." -- Boston Globe "Sure to liven up a boring cocktail party ... [W]ill enlighten, surprise, even disappoint you." -- Houston Chronicle "Straightforward." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch "Full of amusing and helpful timing tips." -- Sacramento Bee "Strangely compelling." -- The Guardian "[Di Vincenzo] doles out advice with practical reasoning ... [U]seful and interesting." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "[Di Vincenzo] gets into the nitty-gritty of why timing really is everything." -- Chicago Tribune
