Book Description

June 2003
When three small businesses compete for a million-dollar grant,the owners find themselves in the midst of conspiracies, allegations, and sabotage. One of the companies, a popular Mexican restaurant, is burglarized and the victim of food tampering. What transpires next is panic in the community as people try to determine exactly how many customers the sabotage will harm. Just before the grant decision is made, violence erupts, corruption threatens the integrity of the contest, and a family member is near death. When the grant is finally awarded, the sabotage culprits are revealed and the perpetrators are closer than anyone suspected.

Told with biting humor and amazing suspense, Catfish Quesadillasis a rare honest portrayal of customer service in America. It is a bold story that examines the hunger for opportunity and the pitfall of complacency. With Catfish Quesadillas, Egeston once again cre-ates a suspenseful and thought provoking book that allows readers an escape into a harsh reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Catfish Q?, September 7, 2004
By 
The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Catfish Quesadillas (Paperback)
Using the title of CATFISH QUESADILLAS, author Brian Egeston introduces readers to a novel centering around customer service and the pitfalls that can face our society as foreigners enter the scene with the foresight of offering the same supplies and services, but with an extra bonus -- a smile and a desire to please the customer and at a cheaper price. CATFISH QUESADILLAS is about three small businesses which are all competing for a grant to be given to the one with the best customer service and day-to-day operations.

As one can imagine, with a million-dollar grant at stake, out comes plans of destruction, battles to be the best, and outright unbelievable actions that at times threaten the community as a whole. Entertaining and humorous, CATFISH QUESADILLAS brings to light the need for improvements within some of our businesses and offers suggestions on how to ensure their success.

While this story could've actually been told in a self-help format, I love that Egeston made it fiction to allow the reader to get caught up in the story. Egeston's one-of-a-kind humor is ever present in this book, but more importantly, the message shines through like car beams on a dark highway. It is after reading it that one will fully understand that if major changes aren't made within the managerial ranks of some businesses, they simply will not succeed; especially small black businesses.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre Novel, June 22, 2004
This review is from: Catfish Quesadillas (Paperback)
This novel was so-so. Mainly a novel written about customer service. What I didn't particularly like was that this book leaves you with the myth that only people of color are mean,rude and nasty to customers. Which of course is not true I have been harrassed in many stores by white men and women who don't have any manners. I am ashamed at this author for displaying all of our people in this negative manner. Although I know this is fiction other races would laugh and believe some of the stereotypes written in this novel.
