Book Reviews of The Tennis Partner
Book Review: A Guy Book
Summary: 4 Stars
If there were an Oprah's Book Club for Men, this book would be the first selection. Why? Because Dr. Verghese explores the murky world of male-male platonic friendships much in the way "Oprah Books" look at the female-female relationship. It's a beautifully written, and extremely honest, treatment of how men relate to one another and how their friendships are born and nurtured. Unlike many of Oprah's selections, however, this one is not beach reading. Rather, it is a book to be savored, and a book which will make you think.
