Customer Reviews

Boomers, Read this Book!

Gene Amole is THE fatherly/grandfatherly character of all our lives. This book should speak to anyone whose parents came of age during the Greatest Generation. Gene (Frank, as my parents knew him) was the daily columnist for the Denver newspapers for decades. His signature was a one-word opening that certainly summed up the content of his column. Anyone who enjoys Molly Ivins (heck, anyone that reviles Molly, too) would certainly enjoy this collection, as well as Amole's previous books. This is a slice of American life, lived by a great example of an American citizen in his finest hour. A must read for any of us who have parents in their declining years...and written by such a wonderful man. Hunt up Gene's final radio interview on NPR and you'll undertand why you should read this book. Support hospice and get a great read with one purchase.
