| "With each spoken word, Dr.
Engel brings literature and history to life. He is not only an
academic, he is an artist. For those unfamiliar with his work, do
yourself a favor and get a few CDs. You will learn a lot -- and you
will laugh a lot. And when you go to parties, you will seem a lot
smarter than you actually are. God knows it worked for me." |

Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower,
screenwriter of the motion picture, "Rent,"
and co-creator of the CBS Television Series, "Jericho." |

"“I thoroughly
enjoy Dr. Engel’s work both in CD and his in-person performances for
their insight, originality, humor and his fascinating presentation style
and delivery!” |

Ted,
President/CEO Restaurant Corporation |
| “Dr. Engel’s humor, cogent
presentation, organization, and sheer charm captivate every audience. He
makes great writers and other topics accessible to everyone, inspiring
the acts of reading, listening, and literacy. We need not despair the
demise of culture so long as this man shares his gifts.” |

Liz,
Retired English Instructor |
| “There’s nothing I enjoy more than
reading a good book, accompanied by Dr. Engel’s recorded programs. I
hang on his every word, and I’ve come away from every talk with at least
one memorable nugget that I can recall the rest of my life. Elliot makes
authors and distant works come alive. My boyfriend considered most
literature dull until he heard Elliot—now he quotes Dickens and
Thackeray!” |

Linda, Software Development Manager |
| “Dr. Engel is one of the most
dynamic speakers I have ever met. I love his enthusiasm, quick wit, and
sense of humor. His programs are entertaining but researched in infinite
detail and filled with little known facts which intrigue me.” |

Mary
Louise, ten-time traveler with Dickens Destinations" |

“Professor Elliot
Engel is quite possibly the most insightful, personable, and
entertaining academic lecturer to come out of academia in the last fifty
years. His witty, engaging speaking style imparts hard, factual
information while leaving his audiences virtually spellbound punctuated
by periods of laughter and flashes of insight.” |
