Book Reviews of The Franchise Babe: A Novel
Book Review: Regaining His Form
Summary: 4 Stars
Dan Jenkins is one of my all-time favorite sports authors. "The Franchise Babe" is very well done, albeit missing some of the biting descriptions that have highlighted characters from his earlier works. I think I have read them all, and my favorite remains (unexplicably) "Baja Oklahoma", followed by "Dead Solid Perfect". I hope he returns to Fort Worth and Herb's Cafe in future endeavors -- the setting just seemed to provide a rich environment for character development. That said, his latest offering is extremely readable, offering an insight into the world of the LPGA and giving us, at the same time, further examples of his unequalled wit. Make sure you pass this one off to your golfing buddies -- I sure will.
