Damaged Goods

I first met Mr. Camacho at a book fair and Woodbridge,VA. After reading his first two books I was hooked and you will be as well. Damaged Goods is one of the best if not the best book I have ever read. You feel as if you are right there in the book with everyone. I cried with the characters and laughed and even cheered when the good guys won. I have passed this book to a few special friends that have also read this book. This book helped myself and a few others see that we are not alone. This book will hit home but I promise you will never want to put it down. Austin has a wonderful way of making you feel at home in his books. He has been blessed with a real gift for writing. I am looking forward to future books by him. Happy reading everyone. Pam

Damaged Goods

I really like the way Mr. Camacho keeps his stories moving--you can't stop reading one once you start it. His characters are real and his books leave you feeling you have made friends, been entertained and satisfied with their ending.

Entertaining and Exhilarating!

As the world's worst critic, I'd like to say that Austin Camacho is a gifted writer; and I do not mean excellent in spelling and grammar - he actually knows how to tell a story! Damaged Goods is written in a manner that leaves you hanging on every word. In fact, what I liked most about the book is how he gives vivid descriptions of each scene and puts you right in the thick of things. His character development of Hannibal Jones gives you the illusion that you can actually pick up the phone and invite him to your next barbecue. Austin did an excellent job pulling his audience into each scene. His descriptions were natural and flowed well from scene to scene. I believe that is why it rapidly captured my attention. In fact, it did not take long for me to read this book and that is a good thing because my schedule is so hectic. However, Damaged Goods was such an intriguing story, that I found myself reaching for the book every chance I got. Austin has a very nice writing style. He exhibits creativity when he eases various characters into a life of stability after being homeless. I especially like the way the story opens up at the Club with Anita and her friend. In fact, it all started with the business card and eventually led to a millionaire named Ben Blair. Each scene is well orchestrated thus leaving you longing for more. If you have a desire to be an author, I recommend reading this book because the way it is written is the best example of writing I can share with anyone. Additionally, it is very entertaining!
