At first I began reading these short stories and was laughing so hard my sides hurt and I was embarassing myself at work...I thought, "This is the best book I've read in a long time"....I knew I was going to give it 5 stars....

However, some of the stories got a little wierd and seemed fictional. I started to look around the front of the book where a disclaimer reads that indeed, some of the stories are fictional...

This really let me down...kinda deflated my impression a bit...

However, overall the book is excellent and (most) of the stories are extremely entertaining to read...John Long has a unique style that is very captivating and enthralling...I do recommend this book to all who enjoy adventure reading...

John Long provides you with everything you need to pass the time on a rain day and even inspire you to think up some adventures of your own. The stories about Yosemite back in the day are really great because you can feel he lived them, which always makes for a better read. Excellent collection and entertaining.

Filled with short stories of his own, or those he knows, fantastical adventures. Skillfully written, I enjoyed the whole thing. Can't wait to read more of his stuff.
