Review

Anthony is a romantic drama by Harold J. Fischel. I was instantly pulled into a story of hardship and success and almost cried during the most painful events in Anthony’s life. My favorite character is his very protective dog named Zorbo, and my least favorite character is Rita.

This book is a whirlwind of emotions. I felt sad, scared, disgusted, happy, and excited. The story is interesting and realistic, and the characters have personalities that are neither too bad, nor too good.

I’m giving this 4 out of 5 stars, and I recommend it to ALL mature readers who want a heartwarming story about a little boy who grew up to be a handsome gentleman of great values.
