I know a dozen guys like Marvin Baines, and saw a bit of myself in him as well. It took me a few pages to get into the book, but once I did, I really enjoyed it. There is humor, regret, longing for experiences never lived, questioning the choices one makes and wondering "what if" and all of the things men feel at a certain point in their lives. At times I wanted to say "Man up, Marvin, deal with it." And in the end, he does, in the way that works best for him, as we all must do as we follow our own paths in life. An excellent book by an excellent writer who's work I have learned to appreciate.
