A Great Escape

I stumbled upon Bob Greene's All Summer Long a couple of years ago when I read his "Hang Time" book about Michael Jordan. The subject matter of several friends putting everything aside for a Summer and roadtriping around the country has always been appealing to me and this story didn't disappoint. Although this is a fictional account, you really feel as if the author is recanting a journey that he actually took. I found myself really wanting to do something like this someday as well. I highly recommend this book.

No Pulitzer - Just Extremely Readable and Entertaining

This book will take the male reader - from 18 to 80 - on a fantasy ride that will hold his interest from page one to the end. This wasn't written to be considered "literature;" it simply entertains very well and gives the reader's his money's worth.I'm now reading it for the second time. How many books get THAT award from readers?

The perfect male summer reading escape

With so many authors aiming for your wife's interests, it's great to finally have a novel written for a male's summer reading enjoyment. The book is an excellent summer escape -- it will take you back to long ago times that still seem so near and will keep you hopeful about the future. If you're a fan of Greene's columns or you just want to feel better about life, then you have to read this book!

One of the best!

Do yourself a favor and read this book, and then go out and read everything else by Bob Greene that you can get you hands on. You'll thank me later...trust me.

A search for one's identity

I read this book at a time in my life when I was troubled and didn't know where I had been or where I was going. Since then, I have read the book twice more. A perfect book for someone in their mid to late 40's. You will remember much of what he talks about, and his fears and worries are the same fears and worries that we all have. I consider this to be one of his best.
