Chilling and Funny! April 20, 2008
A chilling, funny, yet serious journey through the life of "Scobe". From his teenage years, to his years as a teacher, through his latter adventures in the casinos and on television. There's something for everyone in here. Prepare to laugh out loud and get chills down your spine!
Fast-paced and fun. April 10, 2008

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 March 23, 2008

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.
