I am a big fan of Rex Murphy's, so it's not surprising that I loved his book. It is a collection of Rex's observations on everything from Don Cherry to literature to politics and more. Rex has a way with language, a keen sense of observation and a quirky wit that makes listening to, or reading, him a great pleasure.
A good way to spend a cold winter's day is to chuckle with Mr. Murphy and his stylish prose.
