GOOD BOOK-I'd recommend it to any Mike Aulby fan
The book had a lot of good information-I think it could have gone more into depth on what it's like out on tour.How the pressure effects the players more, how they survive out there-or don't.I think alot of what was said was repeated by different people in different parts of the book-granted alot of people that deal with Mike have a lot of the same good memories, but I think there was too much repetition in some parts.I wish Mike had gone more into detail what he was feeling when he shot his first 300-I had my first this year-and I could tell you heartbeat by heartbeat what it was like.Overall I liked the book-now my 10 year old son is reading it.My family are all fans of Mike Aulby-and have met him in person. ...
