Bill Rodgers

Bill Rodgers inspired me to run "back in the day." I grew up a mile from the Boston Marathon course. So, I was going to like this book, no matter what - and I did. It was like any other collaborative look back and a fun read. Still, I was disappointed in the lazy copy editing. I found 6-10 typos, grammatical errors, etc. Just sloppy and the guy who helped him write the book - Matthew Shepatin - is effusive in his compliments to the staff at St. Martin's Press. Really? Did you read your finished product? Sloppy, like I said. Also, as the "real" writer, he might've cut back on the repetitive themes that Bill reference like butterfly chasing, Amby this Amby that and others. Give some credit to the reader, guys. We can hear something once and then maybe mention it during wrap up but not every few chapters.… (plus d'informations)

In all the years I went to high school I had always been an A+ student which is one of the reasons why I had downloaded a free copy of this book from Amazon.

In this book the author, Bill Rodgers, takes a historical look at various dates in the history of several cities in Texas, famous and infamous people, as well as topics like oil/gas and sports/entertainment. He then provides his readers with a hilarious modern day 20-20 hindsight look at each of the items being offered, along with an appropriate humorous #HASHTAG which can be used in a Tweet.

Although I’m a “DAMNED YANKEE”, I still enjoyed the humor being offered here; but I believe I would have the humor even more if I had been from the “BIG T.” And because of this, I can’t resist giving this book 5 STARS.… (plus d'informations)
