I found this novel to be a sweet, enduring, detailed description between a father and his daughter; as well as an insighful discovery of the soul. I recommend this book to anyone; especially those seeking a deeper meaning and further explantation between a father and a daughters love!

This was no doubt a tough book to write, but a wonderful book to read. Jim Dodson left his home to take a fishing trip with his daughter. But what he was really doing was trying to unravel what went wrong with his marriage, what his daughter thought of this new event, and what the future might bring. This human and humane book is funny and sad, sometimes all on the same page. Most of all, it is honest. Three cheers to Dodson for being willing to take this journey and then sharing it, no emotions barred.

I LOVED this book! It reminded me so much of my relationship with my own father. He always had some interesting new fact to share with his daughter, yet he is willing to listen to what she has to say, and possibly learns more from her than he taught her himself. A must read for any father or daughter.

James Dodson, the author, is a terric writer. I really loved "Final Rounds" about his golfing trip with his dying father to Scotland. This book makes you want to keep up with his family and how they are doing since he wrote the book.

This is a tender story about his travels with his young daughter following his divorce. Both Mr. Dodson and his daughter are struggling with the divorce and this once in a lifetime trip helps them overcome some of their issues.

It was a delightful read of an insightful odyssey. A must read for every fisherman who is blessed with a daughter. A must read for every fisherman who has faced recent personal crisis. Dodson weaves opportunities for refelection within the passages of a fine story.

If you are the father of a young daughter, you owe it to yourself to read this book!

This guy makes a killing off of family difficulties. First, in Final Rounds his dad is dying and so he cashes in and writes a book about it. Now, because his career is more important than his family, he gets a divorce and then uses this tragedy to take his daughter on a fishing trip, all the while milking it for material for another book. I just could not get past the fact that I simply did not like the narrator. This guy loves his job and he loves rubbing his elbows with famous people and he loves telling you about it.
