Come to America's Playground, the one and only Coney Island! When eighty-two year old Max Flynn meets Walt Miller, he can't believe his eyes. Walt is not only seven and a half feet tall, he also looks exactly like the giant Max knew as a child during Coney Island's golden years. Max, a former cop who spent his life protecting the island and the people walking upon it, decides to solve the mystery of 'the impossible man'. As Max learns more and more about Walt Miller, he finds friendship, love, a dark secret and a world beyond his wildest dreams. This is a novel about home, about the earth, about the land we walk on. This is also a novel about being mindful and doing the right thing. In Walt's words: "Max Flynn gives me hope. There must be others like him. People who care deeply, deeply enough to hear the heartbeat of the land they walk on. They are the future. They will be the balance."

Coney Island lives!

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

I loved this book. I am descended from one of the Dutch explorers that landed on the isla
nd of Manhattan, but my branch ended up in Westport CT. I loved the giant's story, because I have both believed that the earth is alive, and that Atlantis must have sent it's sons and daughters into the world. A love story between old people, and yes, it happens. People forget, your inner self knows no difference between youth and old age. Read this.

Magic, wonder and an irresistible cast of characters is only a beginning to describing this book. The story was so compelling that I read the book in one sitting. I didn't want it to end. Don't miss this one!

Not the best from this author, a little disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

The main characters of this book are fairly old people, 80+, but it does not grant it an excuse to have such slow pace. For quite a few times, I almost wanted to drop this book.
I do like the other two books of this author a lot. However, for this one, while the author tries to put more philosophical stuff into the book, into the characters, he seems to forget the most basic thing of a fiction, a good story.

I enjoyed this tale with the vivid scenes that encompassed Coney Island of varying times. The story worked because of this and the dynamic characters.
