I thought this book was going to be about bars and a bartender...
It was about much more, really about life in general.

Beautifully written, wonderful character development, heartfelt memoir of growing up in Long Island with extended family.
Probably not as meaningful to someone who didn't grow up on Long Island but a good read nevertheless.
It's a good read if you're looking for nothing challenging. Nothing amazing. But a decent story with some interesting characters that provide a nice distraction. Good for a plane or something...
Although it tended to go a little long, this was a well-written account of Moehringer's life and the way it has been shaped by his relationships. He gives credit where it is due and is humble about his accomplishments. Humorous and insightful.
I read this one a while ago, at Joel's recommendation. I did like it, the men who surround JR and influence his life are a very interesting group.

One City contender.
I agree with another reviewer who states the book is full of "saccharine oversentimentality and indulgent poetic largesse." Dropped it after 40 pages. The author is trying trying trying trying but not doing anything, and certainly not writing about it very well.
