Like
so many books I've been reading lately this one jumps around in time
and place mid various generations of the same family. We see Jack as
a 10-year-old, as a teenage jock, and as a parent with a son of his
own. No one would accuse this of being great literature but the book
is well-edited and although at times pedestrian has a certain
familial appeal. It gives one an insiders view of a family's life. At
times the shifting point of view leaves one wondering who's doing the
narrating. The book confronts issues of alcoholism and child neglect.
The book has a ready for Hollywood ending.
