Review
written by Jim “Gymbeaux” Brown, December 8, 2020
Some books are just fun to read and this is definitely one of them. I was attracted to the book simply because it was about golf plus a European Television Golf Announcer talked about a book written in 1892 (that is not a typo, it was written in 1892) about playing golf in the year 2000.
This is definitely a book of fiction. It involves time travel but like the story of
Rip Van Winkle, the main character of the book falls into a mysterious
coma. His family, as it is described
much later in the book, had set him up with supervisor doctor visitations,
money that accrues interest over 100 plus years, and a home for his still
living but comatose body to rest in. He
suddenly and for no apparent reason, awakes 108 years later much to the
surprise of the homeowner who was then charged with taking care of him while
lie in a coma.
I had to continually remind myself that this book was
written in 1892. Our character writes
about the many things that have changed since that date and surprisingly he was
spot on in regards to some of the developments he describes about golf and golf
equipment and how people watch golf on BIG SCREENS as if they were present on
the course. Other descriptions,
especially about women, he was not wrong but he was also not correct. You will have to read the book to figure out
what that means.
This is a short book that can be found on Amazon for just 99
cents as a Kindle read. If you are into
time travel, novelty fiction, historical fiction or just want a quick and easy
fun read, this book is for you.
Who should read this book?
Anyone looking for something fun to read or who loves the game of golf
Would I read it again?
No, there would be no need.
Would I give it as a gift?
For 99 cents, why on Earth not?
