Customer Reviews

Better than Dead Solid Perfect

As a long-time Jenkins fan, I can confirm that this work and the sequel rank among his very best. I can't imagine anyone even vaguely familiar with the game of golf who could get through a few pages without chuckling out loud.

Jenkins Is National Tresure

As an unabashed fan of Dan Jenkins (and one who thinks Bud Shrake slowed him down) I was out of this world when this one came out. No one writes golf better than Jenkins. On the other hand, no one writes football better than Jenkins. Man, I'd love to know his source for one liners. Thanks Dan, youdaman!

Dan Jenkins is back!!!

I have read virtually every book written by Dan Jenkins -- one of my favorite authors. While some of his recent efforts have been slightly hit or miss, I am thrilled to report that Dan is back at the top of his game and his newest novel is truly a hole in one!!! Just like "Semi-Tough" and "Dead Solid Perfect", you will find yourself laughing out loud at a mulitude of hilarious passages. My only (small) complaint is that he wrapped the story up too quickly at the end -- I would have loved to have read more on the Ryder Cup. Nevertheless, many thanks and welcome back, Dan!!

Wodehouse and Jenkins

Between P.G. Wodehouse and Dan Jenkins comes nobody. Wodehouse helped explain golf to the ordinary person with his often silly short stories about the game among the upper class of society. Then Jenkins invented the comic golf novel with "Dead Solid Perfect,"which explains the game among the upper class of players---the touring pros. Jenkins inspired a mob of imitators but never a real competitor until now. That competitor is Jenkins himself with his hilarious new novel that starts off with two of Dan's favorite words---"Money Whipped."

Jenkins Rides Again

Don't let that thatch of white hair fool you. Dan Jenkins can still throw the high hard one. If you laughed at "Limo," "Bubba Talks," "Dead Solid Perfect" and the other Jenkins' gems, you'll split a gut at "The Money-Whipped Steer-job Three-Jack" or whatever the hell he calls it. This is the funniest book I've read since I was kicked out of Alabama AM & N for laughing out loud at "Semi-Tough" during a lecture on pantheistic hedonism. Dan Jenkins is funnier than Spinoza any day.
