Excellent Adventure
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I was not previously familiar with the author, but loved his style. The book reminded me of the movie "Forrest Gump". An incredible life story based on a man chasing his first crush, but continually getting caught up in incredible adventures along the way. A good lesson on history, geography, and different cultures. I wish Woodrow hadn't died before we got to hear the end of his adventures! Two thumbs up.
Excellent change of pace for Thayer: Completely enjoyable!

Traveling through the lintriguing life of Woodrow, I couldn't put this one down until I learned about his world. Excellent change of pace from the one-story thriller, this book has it all!
totally delightful. Did not want it to end!

Very enjoyable book. Well written. Found it fun to follow Woodrow Lowe throughout his life. Great summer time reading. Dry wit, lots of chuckles!
One of the top 5 books of the year !!!

An absolutely enjoyable tale of an intriguing story taking place in times we can only read about. The story takes the reader to exotic places, in impossible situations and adds the right amount of romance and true adventure. Very unique storyline and characters. An absolute must read in 1998!
Fabulous
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This novel was given to me as a birthday present. Having never heard of the book or author I assumed that it was purchased on the bargain rack. How wrong I was. This novel is a clever and funny tour of the improbable early years of a centenarian's life. I couldn't put it down. My only criticism was that Thayer ended the story too early in his protagonist's life. I wanted to read more. You wont be disappointed with this novel.
