What a gifted writer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you will be entertained. Rick Reilly truly has a gift. His stories are short, but poignant, and always funny.
Rick is a Riot!!!!!!!!

Just started this book - GREAT thus far! For all you golfaholics, you must read his golf books "Who's Your Caddy?", "Missing Links", & "Shanks For Nothing" - They're hilarious!!!!!
Reilly is the King

Nobody writes about sport like Reilly. This is a great collection of his Sports Illustrated pieces. If you are a fan of sports journalism, this is a must read for you.
First thing I read every week in S.I.

I always find that the back of each issue of Sports Illustrated is always the page I read first. Especially good ones are the "Perfect Day", the one where Reilly describes a golf outing with President Clinton, and my favorite - the one about the meaning of life, from a sports perspective, of course.
Rolling on the floor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Who wouldn't like Reilly? He is the best in sportswriting. I can't remember reading anyone getting close to his pieces. I read his columns in SI every week, many were reprinted in this book, but I was still rolling on the floor when I read them. A lot of them are funny, some are touching, but they all provoke emotions. Keep it up, Reilly.
