Book Description

ISBN-10: 1583852190 | ISBN-13: 978-1583852194 | Publication Date: November 21, 2007

The natural beauty and character of Cape Cod sets the scene for this collection of humorous and touching stories from East Texas Gastroenterologist Rick Seidel's thirty-five summers spent on the Outer Cape. Fishing feats, boating fiascos, and sibling squabbles pepper these lively anecdotes, and, although centered in New England, Seidel's delightful vacation memories-good, bad, and ugly-will touch the soul of anyone who has spent summer vacations with family, particularly those who understand the strong bond between father and son. We all understand the experience of eating ice cream, it's just the flavors that change.

Jeffrey Roberts (Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sunsets and Shooting Stars: A Cape Cod Memoir (Hardcover)

Great book! The author states he's not a writer but I beg to differ. He captured my attention from the get go. Reading this book reminded me of childhood vacations with my family (especially siblings). I laughed out loud throughout the book. Before reading this book I had no particular interest in vacationing at the Cape but now it is at the top of my list.
