CHECK THE GS -By Ray Shasho

A Humorous Novel Based on True Events

(5) STAR REVIEWS FOR 'CHECK THE GS'

-By Yankeelin Format: Paperback

“If I could do some time traveling I’d step back to the 60's and be a family member/co-worker at the Chin Lung Art Gallery. Nothing Chinese about it...I'd wanna be a "Cubyrian Cathojew”! I'd wanna saff those G's to get the best PR. (laughing my butt off as I write this) Shasho has written a family memoir about his Syrian/ Cuban Catholic/Jewish mum and dad and close relatives .The work ethic, the laughter, their ways of dealing with the customers who came into their Washington DC store. It was a hoot and actually brought back memories of life from back in the day.”

“Business Deals and Rock N Roll”

-By Drew Stiles Format: Paperback

“Shasho definitely grips his readers from the very beginning. Growing up amid the DC business wasn't easy, but it was never dull--and neither is this memoir. This book is full of stories that many can relate to from their own childhood misadventures. Ultimately, it shows the inside world of what it means to be a Shasho. Also a great read for anyone that has ever felt a personal connection to music. Check it out :)”

“Check the Gs is just a really cool story and it’s real"

-By Ben Stiller Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

“The characters in the story definitely jump out of the book and come to life. Very funny and scary moments throughout the story and I just love the way Ray timeline’s historical events during his lifetime. Ray’s love of rock music was evident throughout the book and it generates extra enthusiasm when I read his on-line classic rock music column. It’s a wonderful read for everyone!”

“Excellent reflection of the childhood we all grew up with”

-By William G Wallin

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

“This autobiography shows us an amazing story of what it means to be a self-made person. Through all of life's struggles we experience and how it leads to opportunity and meeting the love of a lifetime. This is the definition of living the American Dream and exceeds the meaning for our pursuit for happiness as we journey through life. I recommend everyone to read this for you will find through our diversity we all share the challenges and struggles that make us into the people we are today. The author does an excellent job showing us how lucky we are and that hope always lies in our perseverance for finding happiness.”
