 2008-07-29 - A bit schmaltzy for my taste
Nantz seems like a really good guy. And if you're a sports fan, you'll enjoy some of the behind the scenes and inside stories no doubt, as I did. But throughout I thought it was a bit self indulgent on Jim's part, and quite a bit schmaltzy. That is, overly sentimental. At least for my taste. Am I the only one felt that way ?
 2008-07-12 - Excellent read
We gave it to our son after we had read it and it was excellent. We wanted to share with him.
2008-07-07 - Great Book! Great service from Amazon!
I ordered three copies of the book for Father's Day gifts for two of my sons and my husband. According to the recipients, it was a great read. Amazon service was, as always, superb!
2008-07-05 - Great gift
I gave this book as a Father's Day gift to my son, who lost his Dad a few years ago. We both read it. What an inspiration.
2008-06-25 - A little sugary-sweet, but you have to tip your hat to the man
Like me Jim Nantz is from the Houston area, so based on that commonality I've always been a fan. This book details a professional career that's gone very right and a personal life that's posed one significant challenge. There are points where everything that is written, said, etc. has been so perfect that you just want a strong cup of black coffee to wash the sugary taste from your mouth. Then you read the challenges with his Dad and it makes you want to tip you hat to the man and hope that I would react in the same way that he's done.
Great behind-the-scenes and name-dropping book that makes a good summer read.
