Dead Solid Perfect

Big fan of Dan Jenkins. Loved Semi-Tough and Life It's Ownself. But this fell surprisingly flat for me, seeming like an outline for a great book more than an actual book. It didn't have the detail, the rich descriptions, the hilarious characters or the tone of his earlier works. I never really liked Kenny Lee Puckett, the hero of the book, or saw much reason to root for him. And while I'm not a sports fan, his football books brought across the passion for the game in a way I could understand, but I didn't get any love of golf out of this. Just commentary on tournaments and players. ( )

life on tour, Jenkins at his wittiest ( )
