I read this book in one sitting.  I loved it.  I'm in my sixties and much of Randall's experience is my own. It is an accurate observation of the times and the struggle many of us had trying to justify our nation's actions within the moral perspective we had been taught.  The abandoned child who tried to play by the rules and was often disappointed also rang true, and of course, as a young man raised in Michigan, I idolized Al Kaline. This is so much more than a coming of age story.  It is my story, and if it is not yours, it is your history. I admire Mr. Pratt's writing and although I love Joe Dillard, I hope Scott continues to grow.
