The friendship

Wow what a great story of friendship. I loved all the characters. The friendship between these men, and the era it was set in. It took me back to the era I grew up in. I was laughing one minute and crying the next. I listened to this book, but I will get the book and read it. It will go in my favorite collection.

Spectacular Story!

True friendships, forged during the magic of adolescence, last forever, whether we know it or not. Mark Meding captures that truth in manner that defies fiction. His masterful writing reflects a depth of authenticity that can only come from a life well lived. The narrator nails it, adding more value to an already priceless work of art.

This book was extremely a great read. A mix of Sandlot, Sopranos and Little Rascals producing a tight nit bond between four boyhood friendships that twist and turn to adulthood. A heartwarming depiction of old days gone-by with a surprising ending! It’s a perfect beach read!
