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.”—Publisher’s 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 Who’s Your Caddy?
“You might not think the story of a man carrying Tommy Aaron’s golf
bag for 18 holes could make you laugh out loud, but you’d be wrong.
Who’s Your Caddy? is funny enough to coax a chuckle out of Vijay
Singh. A great way to read about the game—and its people, too.”
—Charlotte Observer
“You don’t 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 Who’s Your Caddy?
“[Reilly] knows and delivers a good story when he sees it . . .
readers can’t 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, Reilly’s 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
