This review is from: Kick the Can (One-eyed Jack Mystery) (Paperback)

My brother gave me a beat up copy of this book when I was about 12 years old. I haven't seen a copy in years! I read this book countless times and found it to be a very interesting and humerous read. I'd recommend this book to anyone that comes across it anywhere. I don't know what compelled me to like this book so much. Maybe it was the reasoning the the lead character "The One Eyed Mack" exhibited throughout the book. I can tell you that I am definately going to get another copy to add to my collection

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't miss this one!, August 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Kick the Can (One-eyed Jack Mystery) (Paperback)

Who would ever suspect that veteran newsman, Jim Lehrer, would be one of the most delightful comic writers ever. Kick the Can is one of those rare laugh aloud books that keep the reader chuckling from beginning to end. In addition to the "One Eyed Mack" the hero of the story, he introduces us to other such unforgettable characters as "Pepper" Bowen and Brother Walt. This book is just as funny the second or third time you read it - a real treat. Read it! You'll like it!

This review is from: Kick the Can (One-eyed Jack Mystery) (Paperback)

This is one of the funniest books I've ever read. The humor is so self-reflective- it's a personal commentary on this young boy's own adventure after losing an eye in a silly game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book
Kick the Can was one of my favorite books as a child. I was glad to see that it is still as insightful and clever in adulthood as in childhood. Read more
