Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Service
This book was received very quickly and was in excellent shape. Everything about this transaction exceeded my expectations.
Rating:  - Another ho-hum sports novel
Novels and movies about sports tend to follow the same pattern. If the central figure is a boxer, he will overcome adversity and knock out the champ. In Grisham's football novel, a flailing quarterback wins the championship, albeit elsewhere. Braddock knocks out Baer. Etc. And in Patterson's golf novel, a scratch duffer--well, take a guess.
As for miracles, there isn't much of one, and what miracle there is makes little or no sense. Read it for yourself and ask the burning question ... Read More
Rating: - Middle-Aged Golfer's Dreams Come True
James Patterson taps into every middle-aged golfer's fondest fantasy in this eminently readable and enjoyable novella.
Travis McKinley, a disgruntled Chicago ad man, approaches his fiftieth birthday knowing he's about to be fired by the agency where he's worked for 23 years and suspecting that his wife is about to drop the divorce bomb on him. A miraculous round of golf on Christmas Day gives him a reason to live, a scenario only another certified golf nut could understand. I found it ... Read More
Rating: - Miracle on the Seventeenth Green
This is a favorite of mine to "gift" to golfers. A marvelous story somewhat out of character for Patterson. Particularly good for anyone over fifty or someone who loves golf but whose life is in a slump.
Rating:  - A Refreshing Tale of Life
Admit it. You're stuck at a dead end job like the rest of us. Miracle on the 17 Green is about a middle aged guy named Travis who has a hopeless job, a great marriage with three wonderful kids (but doesn't realize it) and some yet to be exposed talent with the golf clubs. Great little tale about all the above and how he goes about learning to appreciate life in general. A wonderful read. Typical Patterson book -- short chapters with easy to follow characters. Highly recommended!!! Give it 4 1/2 ... Read More
