I very much enjoyed Ms. Gefter's book and would recommend it to anyone who has some previous knowledge of the subject. A very down to earth writing style, a lot of humor made for a good read.

Overall, this is a pretty informative, quick read.  However, being a longtime, diehard GBV fan, I would have liked to have known more about the recording of the various albums, as well as have more time deveoted to some of the other important characters in the group, namely Tobin Sprout and Mitch Mitchell.  I think their stories are as essential to the success of GBV as Pollard's songwriting and vision for the band.  The book just felt like too much Bob, not enough everyone else.  Having met Bob on a number of occasions, I would say that he describes his personality fairly accurately (both good and bad points).  Also, being an educator myself, I would have liked a little more to that storyline.  Not for the novelty of it, just because I think it's great that someone in my profession can actually do this. It's amazing to me and Pollard has always been one of my heros because of it.  Anyway, a worthwhile read either for the novice or the longtime fan.

In simple, yet effective language, Bob has made complex terms like insurance, mutual funds and retirement benefits, easy to understand for the common person. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to using it as a manual for my kids too, so that they can avoid different "get rich quick" scams out there. I look forward to reading other books by this author.

I read every installment on Kickstarter through the whole process of his authoring this book. It was a great learning process in itself seeing just what it takes for an idea to become reality in a book format. I am glad Bob took his time and remembered so many whimsical moments of his storied career in baseball, soccer and NHRA drag racing. This book was VERY well thought out and organized. Not many books keep my attention the way this one did. I was probably one of the first to order and receive a copy. As soon as I learned it was available on Amazon, my order was placed in two minutes or less. It was tough not to read it right away and save it for vacation reading. I could not put it down. I kept going to find out his next story. Some are laughable moments and others are more serious learning of just what Bob has been through. Even though I thought I knew all about Bob, his father and their baseball careers through his blogs, they were just the tip of the iceberg. I would also say that it takes a lot of guts to quit a job to sit down and actually write a book for a living. I believe anyone that knows of Bob Wilber or hasn't even heard of him, needs to read this book. It is a great read whether you know anything about baseball, soccer and drag racing or not. It will surely keep you entertained from the first page to the last. I dare you to start reading it and put it down for any reason other than your significant other telling you dinner is ready.

I thoroughly enjoyed Bob's humor, his stories and how he ties them to a meaningful point. At first, I thought it to be an easy pick up and put down book, without need to finish in a short time frame. Rather Bob does refer to previous points or occurrences making it a better "keep on reading" book.  I truly laughed out loud, shed some tears, and was inspired!  In my top 5 books of all time. A wonderful read!

I really enjoyed reading an Incident of Renewed Faith.  The writer, Peter Nez does a nice job of painting a picture of a common misconception that happens in all avenues of life.  This particular collision, takes place in a court house; which many people can relate to.  In my adolescence, I benefited from police officers not showing up to court and having cases dismissed.  Looking back, I shared the view of the young adult that was so disruptive in court. Not totally understanding the ignorance of my rambunctious attitude. I really enjoyed the perspective that the author shares.  In particular, the metaphor used Or that neighbor that you lived next to for years but never shared a spoken word. Barely acknowledging one another with vague, uncomfortable glances.  You tried to be polite but the politeness was never returned. So you stopped being polite and you silently hate this neighbor forever more. Then one day they vanished, gone and you wavered between them either being dull or unhappy. Or was it you? I can relate to this comment as I unfortunately have neighbors that fall into this category.  What I enjoyed about this book is it touches on preconceived notions that a certain group of people are a certain way.  It really touches on that fact that often times; there are misunderstandings that lead to this type of notion.  Peter Nez does a great job pointing this out and using ideas and concepts that a reader like me can relate to.

Easy to navigate and read, Bob Olson's first book is really fascinating and the culmination of many years personal and documented research on this subject.

For those that are curious and have ever wondered to those who haven't, this is a well put together and considerate book on the subject of what it is we potentially all have to look forward to when we pass from this life.

Highly recommended read!

I enjoy learning new things and Bob Rankin never fails to provide me with new and interesting facts and information.
I have been a subscriber to his blog for a good number of years and this book puts into one place a good bit of knowledge useful to anyone wanting to find a better or alternative ways of accomplishing things on a budget.
I have been using a good number of ideas provided in this book for years.
I did find a new on though that I will be downloading soon.
The book is well worth the time in reading all of his suggestions and alternative software alternatives!
I will be looking forward to more of the same from Bob in the future.

I enjoyed this book very much. I gave it 4 stars because it is the third book I have read about this expedition and I already knew the struggles and outcome.. I learned quite a bit but the first book, Endurance, was more personal and not so scientific. The other book, the Last Voyage of Mrs. Chippy, is strictly for cat lovers and I enjoyed it too.

Really enjoyed this book by Sharon Sala and the two books she wrote that corresponded with this one.  I can only hope she will do more about the town of Blessing.

Stephen, I must say that you are a master of switching from one point of view to another. I sometimes feel overwhelmed with the emphasis on the technical aspect of the sniper but I understand how important it is for accuracy. I especially enjoyed this one in that some of this was toned and the focus was on Bob dealing with his feelings regarding the loss of his father. All a in all, a job well done. I have been a fan since "Point of Impact".
