I ordered two copies of this book for golfing buddies but opened up a copy out of curiosity and couldn't put it down until I got to the end. DiPerna's prose is beautiful to read and will entrap any reader who appreciates a well-constructed phrase with sharp language. Paragraph one, Chapter one, sucks you in.
