In left tackle terms this book was a pancake. I can't believe it took me so long to buy this book and read it. During the past year I have passed this book over on numerous occasion instead choosing a number of different titles including "Meat Market".

Having watched and enjoyed Survivorman on the Discovery channel for the past 3 years, I was anxious to get this book and it did not disappoint!

from FaithWords

Customer Review:
Incredible story that I could not stop reading. This book will be an inspiration to anyone who picks it up. Josh is a rare commodity in baseball, not just because he has "Mickey Mantle talent," but also because he is not afraid to put himself out there for all the world to see and judge. Hopefully... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I must confess - I'm not a huge fan of baseball. Indeed I purchased this book for my father. However, once I began skimming the book - I became hooked. I read it cover to cover in only a couple days.

This book... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Grand Central Publishing
Price: $17.81
Customer Review:
For me, a college student of the 70's, this was a great reminder of the social times we endured - sit-ins, the war in Vietnam, riots, Kent State, the drug scene. The book was also an interesting look at the rivalry between Woody and Bo which is like none other in football history. Mr. Rosenberg does... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I was on lunch break at a previous job and reading Walden Pond by Henry David Thoreau for the second time in my life. My co-worker comes up to me and said, "is that a good book, I've never read it?". I told him it was a book I could relate to, because I too like being outside and surrounded by... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
