I loved the characters in this book. Even the unsavory ones were interesting and ultimately sympathetic. The Oregon desert jumps of the page. The story is wacky, engrossing and a fun, fast but provocative read. A great first novel.

Bob Rogers' is a phenomenal writer, and his first book, "The Return of No. 44", is a wild, funny, entertaining, high-speed yarn, spun like I once thought only Mark Twain could spin a story.
Bob's gift is his ability to paint vivid, colorful word pictures of some of the most interesting people you will ever meet. He is also blessed with a precocious imagination, a well-honed tool he has mastered to take your mind's eye on one of the most unpredictable, raucous journeys it will ever travel.

It was a very good read - quite believable. I advocate the concept of "pass it on". Pass It On would have made a good title.

I was hook by chapter two and found it hard to put down. The characters jumped off the page with stark realism. The landscapes and locations seemed real enough to touch. While I was not prepared for the dark side of this novel I enjoyed it. Great first novel and I'm sure it won't be the last. Looking forward to more. Bob Rogers is an author to watch out for.

Who says fiction doesn't tell the real truth? Join these expertly fashioned, genuine and very human characters through an unplanned and fascinating adventure, as real-to-life as only the best of fiction can offer. Bob Rogers is not only a keen observer of people and circumstance but he possesses the fine skill to describe these for us in an honest, readable and heart-warming style. Yes, experiencing this novel will show you a little more about yourself, and perhaps some of what you have to pass on to others and the world without even trying. ... I was enriched and uplifted by this delightful tale even more on the second read!
