Book Reviews of Tales from Q School: Inside Golf's Fifth Major
Book Review: Q School
Summary: 5 Stars
Couldn't put it down. If you're a golfer this is a must read. If you aren't a golfer, but like real drama this is also for you. Feinstein gives you everything you need to understand it all and be intrigued. He's a terrific writer.Book Review: Disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
I really enjoyed A Good Walk Spoiled and picked this book up when I was looking for something a little less heavy than what I had been reading. Granted, it is an easy read and won't strain your brain. However, my biggest complaint is the constant repeating of facts and anecdotes. This really drove me insane as I can remember something that I had just read a couple of pages back! The player stories just never really "tugged" at me nor made me really care about their stories very much. In retrospect, maybe I shouldn't have expected much lightness when reading about Q School and maybe it really isn't that interesting of an event. The book is OK, but don't expect too much.Book Review: Great Book for Golf Nuts

Husband opened this book on Christmas morning, and didn't put it down until he finished. He's talked about it ever since, so he must have liked it. Highly recommend this book for those who aspire to improve at golf.Book Review: Tales fron Q School

Very good book on golf, one of the best! We gave it as a gift to a golf fan and he loved it!Book Review: Tales From Q School
Summary: 2 Stars
For several years I have considered John Feinstein to be one of my favorite authors and have read most of his books. His prior golf books were all excellent. He should have stopped, though, with A Good Walk Spoiled trying to characterize Q-school. He did a great job then and a poor job now. I'm beginning to think he's on an annual deadline with his publisher as his last few books have lacked the quality of his earlier ones in an effort to ht a deadline. It was all I could do to finish the book and did only because one of the first stage qualifiers of Q-school will soon be held at our local country club and wanted to get a feel of the pressure from someone who I thought could best articulate it. I should have reread A Good Walk Spoiled. And what's with all the name dropping in the credits. Geez, there must be a lot of famous people that get off seeing their name (again) in print. I'm beginning to enjoy Feinstein more as a radio commentator on NPR than an author.
