5.0 out of 5 stars Patterson with a twist, December 22, 2000

By

This review is from: Miracle on the 17th Green: A Novel about Life, Love, Family, Miracles ... and Golf (Paperback)

Miracle on the 17th green is a book that you can read in one sitting partly because it's only 150 pages and partly because it is so good. Miracle on the 17th green is an inspirational, entertaining, and sometimes very funny book. I didn't really expect it to be funny since Patterson has never shown that he can be humorous but nevertheless it was. You don't have to know a lot about golf to like and understand this book. It would help though because Patterson adds some real life golfers into the story but you don't have to know the ins and outs of the game to understand. I am surprised that Patterson wrote this book since it is very different than his normal plots of serial killers but he pulls it off. I am sure this is sort of an autobiography for Patterson because he does like to play golf and he has probably always wanted to get his sense of humor into his books but never has found a way. Miracle on the 17th green is a great book and will bring a lot of inspiration into your day or maybe into the rest of your life. 5 Stars

5.0 out of 5 stars Humorous, Emotional and Perfect., September 17, 2001

This review is from: Miracle on the 17th Green: A Novel about Life, Love, Family, Miracles ... and Golf (Paperback)

I enjoy the fast paced novel that makes you feel good. And this work by James Paterson is just that. A touching story of mid life and love lost. Travis McKinley is a lifelong golfing enthusiast who has an epiphany on Christmas morning and can finally sink any putt he needs. After this dramatic improvement in his game he gets let go from his position in an advertising firm. He decides that there is no time like the present to join the Senior PGA tour. He makes serious money playing a game he has loved all his life. He is in the most picturesque locations and living the life, however he is miserable because he is losing the one woman he has ever loved. And then the miracle happens. This is one of the best books I have ever read, I highly recommend it. At only 149 pages (paperback) it is long enough to tell the whole story, yet short enough to leave out all the minute details that do not make a difference. This book should get 6 stars, or more, but the scales does not go that high, we will have to settle for a 5. Thanx for your time, T

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it in an hour!, October 16, 1999

This review is from: Miracle on the 17th Green: A Novel (Hardcover)

A break from James Paterson's mysteries turned out wonderful. This book was the most enjoyable reading experiance of my life! Once I started reading it I was literaly totally oblivious to the outside world. After I finished I had three messages and I swear I didn't even hear the phone ring. I am a big fan of sports writing, and an avid golfer. As both this is one of the greatest books I have ever read.
