Reviews

Praise for Rick Reilly, Tiger, Meet My Sister...,and Who's Your Caddy

Rick Reilly is one of the funniest humans on the planet, an indescribable amalgam of Dave Barry, Jim Murray, and Lewis Grizzard, with the timing of Jay Leno and the wit of Johnny Carson.Publishers Weekly

Don't get started reading this book.It will take three burly men to pull you away from it.Bob Costas, NBC commentator for Missing Links

You don't need to know your bogeys from your birdies to find at least three laughs per page in this novel.The New York Times Book Review for Missing Links

Snappy prose, believable characters, and the funniest take on blue-collar hacking and gambling since Dan Jenkins's The Glory Game at Goat Hill...it's social satire and pure irreverence that keep this story in the groove.Los Angeles Times for Missing Links

Reilly could write about lawn bowling and make it funny, informative, and entertaining. You never know what the next page is going to bring. Los Angeles Times for Whos Your Caddy

You might not think the story of a man carrying Tommy Aarons golf bag for 18 holes could make you laugh out loud, but youd be wrong. Whos Your Caddy is funny enough to coax a chuckle out of Vijay Singh. A great way to read about the gameand its people, too. Charlotte Observer

You dont have to know much about golf to get a kick out of this book. Reilly learns a little about golf, and a lot about people. The Buffalo News for Whos Your Caddy

[Reilly] knows and delivers a good story when he sees it . . . readers cant help but be touched by the sheer ingenuity of many of these games and the sheer courage of many of the participants.Booklist for Sports from Hell

Reilly was the closest thing sportswriting ever had to a rock star.Chris Chase, USAToday.com

Often, Reillys is so good, it almost is painful for sportswriters like me to read him.Ed Sherman, The Sherman Report

Reilly made you think, made you cry, made you LOL, made you get to know a subject, made you love sports and hate sports and love him and hate him. Above all, he made you read him, every column.Jay Marriotti, SportsTalk Florida
