King is on the weird, the dauntingly prolific John Feinstein once again steps up to take a swing at golf. WhileA Good Walk Spoiledchronicles the pressures and tensions of a full season on the PGA Tour,The Majorsnarrows the vista, and expands the importance, to the chase for the four prestigious titles--the Masters, the US Open, the British Open and the PGA--that separate the great careers from the pretenders. That the chase occurred in 1998 turnsThe Majorsfrom a compelling chronicle into a thrilling one.A thorough reporter, Feinstein does the necessary homework both inside and beyond the ropes. He dusts off history and anecdote to provide perspective and explore how and why these four particular tournaments sprouted such regal fur around their collars. Still, perspective is just background if there's no focus to give it meaning, and he finds a bagful of it in the individual quests and the public and private dramas of, most notably, Fred Couples, Lee Janzen, Tiger Woods, Mark O'Meara, Phil Mickelson, and David Duval. All entered the season with much to prove--to themselves and posterity, and the latter is what the Majors are so imposingly about. As Feinstein observes, "Four days a year, golfers go out to play for Forever. Those are the four Sundays at the major championships. They all know what is at stake." As the record shows, none staked a claim more improbably or excitingly than O'Meara, who put a pair of exclamation points on a long, distinguished--but significantly Major-less--career with stunning, gutsy victories at both the Masters and the British Open. Feinstein records these quests with precision and colour; as usual, he aims at a target and shoots better than par. --Jeff Silverman, Amazon.com
...I saw The two of us my life with John Thaw advertised and as i am a fan of John Thaw i had to go out and buy the book for myself. I bought the hardback book at £16.99 and a few weeks later it had dropped in price.
I read my life with John Thaw by Sheila Hancock in a few days as i couldn't put the book down. It is Sheila Hancock telling her story of when she met John who was 10 years her junior and his time through his battle with cancer. It includes parts of her diary too and in parts in jumps from telling us of Johns or Sheilas life into when John has his cancer which gets a bit confusing sometimes.
It is a good read as it tells of how two people in love are going through a bad time and trying to fet through it together. There are a few photos of Sheila Hancock and John Thaw through the book from being at a young age up til present...

...just got What If God Was The Sun a week ago and I am half way through it and can not put it down.Even though John says it is fictional I already found alot of names and things that are connected to John himself, but if this is how he wanted to write the book then I say go right ahead John your awsome no matter what.I am on chapter four of this book. I have read One Last Time, Crossing over with John Edward Stories behind the Stories, and Afterlife and now If God was the Sun.Every book that I have read gets better and better John is just an amazing person.I also have two of his cds and he helps me get through my meditation.I record Crossing over With John Edward when I am at work and when I am home I watch it.I just love the show its amazing and John is just an amazing person.

Advantages: A very interesing and gripping read Disadvantages: sometimes longwinded and unneccisarily complex
...This story was right from the beggining a gripping read. The reader feels pulled in and absorbed by the story from the first page onwards. It is set out and constructed well by John Farrow to the point where one begins to feel that it is real.
A very engrosing read.
