 Dasha ia Magical Mystery Tour of Love Aug 03, 2009
By Thomas A. Mulligan
Im not normally a novel reader, gravitating more towards books on Metaphysics, Spirituality, Religion and in Dasha I found all three, in a Metaphysical, Magical mystery tour of love, touching our senses and taking us on a wonderful roller coaster ride through the hunger pangs of falling in love.
Real or imagined in Carl Moretti's mind, Dasha is real enough, exciting and delightful enough with a pinch of fairy dust to take us along on this journey of love and discovery to find that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow if we are willing to believe and trust in our hearts! Dasha is wonderfully written and the characters come alive through terrific dialogue and a fast paced story that finds you looking for more.
Dasha is a story that will make even the most cynical still believe in the possibilities of love, giving us the opportunity to take one more look, one more chance at the brass ring of true love and romance. In my mind, Dasha crys out to be movie on the big screen! There is a bit of Carl Moretti in all of us, looking for a Dasha to take us home to our hearts desires of "the one" for us, our eternal love forever!

In Pusuit of Something Beyond Sep 20, 2008
By Jonathan Chaves
"Jonathan Chaves"
With his third novel, Dasha, D.F. Whipple emerges as one of the most artistically ambitious and interesting young novelists in American letters. He stands nearly alone in being able to depict real people in real places and situations--the evocation of New York atmosphere is superb--while at the same time, the appearance of the woman Dasha provides a magical mystery as to the interpenetration of past and present, and a promise of possible transcendence. The interaction between the real and surreal, or different levels or modes of reality, is dramatically successful, as the main character is visited by Dasha after his encounters with self-centered ex-girl friends, career-crazed "masters of the universe," solipsistic, insane "postmodern" artists, and a host of other characters running the range from the banal to the bizarre. One is left looking forward with considerable anticipation to the next stage in the development of this remarkable maker of fictions.

 Sunday Satire Sep 25, 2008
By Michael Marano
Dasha is a hysterical satire perfect for a weekend read that releases the stress of a frustrating work week. DF Whipple spares few in his ridicule of business & industry, publishers, and society. Beautifully written, the author uses Dasha to guide him to love and hopefully, a new career. The book turns out to be 2 books: a love story and a satire. A keeper in the book case.
