"The Walter Mitty touch that gave [Paper Lion] a fine feeling of insanity has vanished [here]....Plimpton is an excellent reporter, with an acute eye and a sharp ear, but his gifts alone cannot overcome the fact that pro golfers ...are an introverted, secretive, solitary bunch. Plimpton looks and listens, but not a single contemporary golfer springs boldly to llife....[The dominant character] is Plimpton himself, but even the self-portrait is incomplete....Measured strictly against the average sports book...[this] could be considered a success. It is literate and intelligent...yet it would be unfair not to measure it against Paper Lion. Plimpton always likes to put himself up against the best."Plimpton, George is the author of 'Bogey Man' with ISBN 9781592280452 and ISBN 1592280455.
