5.0 out of 5 stars "I'm Glad I Did!", January 17, 2001

This review is from: Don't Wish You Had, Be Glad You Did (Hardcover)

This is a wonderful book that reminds me of sitting down and listening to my own grandfather tell me stories of his life and growing up on a farm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing!, January 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Don't Wish You Had, Be Glad You Did (Hardcover)

What a wonderful and refreshing "picture" of someone who has become very successful without compromising family or values. The author's "comfortable" style of writing made me feel as though Mr. Ammons was sitting next to me, sharing his life and philosophies in warm conversation. Excellent book!

Based on a newspaper review, I read this book out of curosity. The book records Mr. Ammons' recollections of his life, his family and his business dealings. The book is not a literary work of art. It does reflect Mr. Ammons' unique opinions, which are consistently blunt, direct, no non-sense and to-be-point. His IRS ordeal was a chilling reminder that government works in strange and amazing ways. The book is entertaining summer reading.
