Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

Two Five (and the Penis Dialogues) is above all things an unabashed satire about modern life and times relationships mores — attitudes — politics/power amok — religions skewed and perverted — violence venerated. First to last page, this epic, dramatic fiction novel involves us with men and women who try to do what they think is best for them and theirs, but don't always obtain the expected results. At Two Five Thousand, a new "escape-proof" federal super-prison, twelve very different inmates find themselves in a cramped barrack room, pushed through a mandatory five-week intensive boot camp. As the dramatic plot advances, we learn their diverse stories—of dissimilar lives and loves, trials and turmoils—that brought them together in that place—all about good-guy army First Sergeant Heath who oversees them—and life with his headstrong wife, N-J, an army nurse. Friendships and conflicts build. Challenges and action rapidly become more intense, peaking in later chapters with raw multiple anticlimaxes then an ending unlike any other, ever. Before "The End," a wry humor epilogue tells readers what became of the featured characters and interesting, off-beat, even quirky others who popped up at times. For those who care how and what men think, every chapter explores "the male experience" (and thePenis Dialogues). This eclectic "man talk" dominates six chapters. Isolated from women, except group counselor Phoebe Glebe, the unrestrained words from men trying to cope range from light romantic fantasy-tastic to blatantly misogynistic to cruel and perverse. Conflicts are tempered by humor, some of it hilarious. There are even original short verses and songs.|This epic, dramatic fiction novel involves us with men and women who try to do what they think best for them and theirs but don't always obtain the expected results.

About the Author

Brief Biography: For this author, there is no such thing as a brief biography.Here s a paragraph from under his photo on the back cover: Often described as easy-going, quick-witted, down-to-earth and an interesting conversationalist, Daneagle is one around whom, things are not dull for long. His unique narrative voice, reader-connecting characters, thought-provoking perspectives, earthy hyper-realism and raw honesty as a writer-artist speak for themselves. Editors have called him colorful --- disgruntled --- maverick --- gadfly. Daneagle says, Consider the absolute best teacher you ever had and why she or he deserves your high opinion. To me, those worthy of that title and any book worth reading strive to entertain while informing, educating, and stimulating, in broad overlapping swipes of word glue, making it stick. Those taking a class or time to read a novel deserve to walk away after the end glad they did and the better for it.
