“When I finished the book I was surprised at how often I would think of it and the story line. Everything blended together until the very end and it compelled me to ask "what the heck happened and why didn't I expect it to happen"? I have no problem giving this book the "five stars rating" that it deserves!”

“The Toastmaster is a great read ! It's fun because it reminds you about areas around Denver and Texas of yesteryear. It also keeps you reading trying to figure out the mystery. I absolutely loved the way The Toastmaster ended. Some writers seem to be in a rush just to complete their book, but Dan Peavler took his time in letting the plot play out and even allowed us a look several years later. You won't be sorry you picked up this book !”
