In truth, Kosztarab's life story is every bit as lively as Stoker's century-old book, DracuLa...Kosztarab notes that Transylvania had a policy of religious tolerance long before the United States, during a period when much of F.TIrone was engaged in religious wars." —Paul Dellineer As for Hungarians . . . "Egy Csángó Amerikában" Canadian Magyarság vol. 48 (8) p. 6: "Michael Kosztarab's English language book will soon be read into rags by the Hungarian Diaspora. For members of the second and third generation that still speaks Hungarian, but read only English, this book is especially valuable."

In Figyelő of New York vol.23 (1) p. 3: 'The stories on his escapes could well fit into detective stories. His and his family's noble manifestations toward persecuted people, are proof of a high-minded person. We are highly recommending this book to our readers..."
