from indygo88

This is journalist & author Bob Greene's tribute to his childhood & lifelong friend Jack. When Jack is diagnosed with cancer, Bob and the group of best friends known collectively as A,B,C,D & J return to Bexley, Ohio and rally together to share childhood memories and help Jack finish out his life...

I'm a big Bob Greene fan, but this wasn't his best work. Maybe the subject matter (the death of his best friend from childhood) was too personal.

from jessibud2

This was a very moving and loving story, part memoir, part tribute, by Greene, about his closest friendship. Bob and Jack met when they were in kindergarten and remained close throughout their lives. Now in their late fifties/early sixties, Bob and the rest of their group of 5 buddies rally round...

Not exactly Tuesdays with Morrie but still another moving statement about the passing of a friend.

boring. childhood reminiscences are for the participants not for others. maybe a magazine article not a book.
