5 out of 5 stars A great book about a great team., August 27,  2001 
Reviewer: A reader from Dallas, TX USA  
Jim  Dent's Junction Boys was one of the greatest sports books I ever read, so I  couldn't wait for his next one. It's a different kind of story, but this book is  wonderful too. Dent knows how to make his characters come alive, from the great  coach, Bud Wilkinson, to all those great players, and there were quite a few  during the Streak. No, Wilkinson isn't portrayed as a saint here, because he  wasn't--he was a human being, and that's how Dent shows him, warts and all. I'd  rather read the truth, and if John Herman Bell says "this book is as true as  true can be" (that's what he told the Daily Oklahoman), that's good enough for  me. The best part of the book is getting to know all those great players, and  reading about all those great games they played--and there were some great  games. Also, getting behind the scenes is really cool, to see how the players  and the coaches prepared (or didn't). There are a lot of funny stories, too. All  in all, a great follow-up to the great Junction Boys.

Elvis,
 
What do you mean that you'd rather be in OK than  NY. Surely you jest. Thanks for the call while you were up here. By the way ,  I was busy that day - whenever it was. Say hello to the lovely  Margaret.
 
It's great to here that James Harry Dent is doing  so well. I'm going to have to read these books of his.
 
                                                                                         HELLO !

At Homecoming  2000, the BETA TENT had the biggest crowd by far.  Stay connected and  consider a future homecoming BETA reunion.  It's incredible...forget  the 20 years in between...everyone just seems to pick it up right where they  left off years ago.
