    • "I'm a white kid that grew up in white suburbia - mere miles from Park Ave, yet a world away. Toriano skillfully weaves many stories of triumph and tragedy in his heartfelt collection of childhood memories. The Pride of Park Avenue gave me a great appreciation for the ease of the path I was given, but more so a glimpse into the courage and fortitude it takes to stay away from the traps of the city. Park Avenue should be proud."

      - Dave Templeton, Amazon.com review

       

      "The Pride of Park Avenue, a complex, yet remarkable tribute to a community and the individuals that compose it."

      - R.M. Kinder, author, An Absolute Gentleman

       

      "I give The Pride of Park Avenue four stars for the plot, character development, and the author's supreme ability to keep me interested. Porter paints the grittiness of the streets and defines what the community needs to sustain itself. His wording was eloquent that I curtsied with my head as I totally related with The Pride of Park Avenue."

      - Londa B., inBox Magazine and DVD

       

      "The images of street life that are contained in this book transported me to those streets. The Pride of Park Avenue is the first of its kind in the Urban/Street Lit society. Porter is very clear, concise and creative at pulling the reader into every scene he crafts. The book actually has a storyline and a well-presented flow that won't disappoint."

      - inBox Mag. and DVD

       

      "The Pride of Park Avenue is a book I wish I would have read before any other urban books came out because it would have been hard to follow."
