I finished reading this book in two days. I haven't felt compelled to read something as voraciously as this in some time. J.R. Moehringer's writing takes the reader into his world & experiences flawlessly.
Mostly I had been reading The Tender Bar because I had heard my cousin, Tim Byrne, was mentioned in the book. I was very touched to read the author's descriptions of not only Tim, but Uncle Patrick as well, and the great courage of the family and my Aunt Charlene. While I found these moments in the book to be comforting and moving, I also throughly enjoyed the book.
This is a great book and I highly recommend it. It has inspired me to reread my classics (that I have told myself I didn't have the time to read again) and to discover new reads instead of winding down with the tv.
Thanks again, J.R. for remembering cousin Tim as well as Uncle Patrick-two incredible men.
