I absolutely LOVED Rocket Boys! I didn't know the author is a Goodreads author. (I've only been a Goodreads member for a few years.) If this is only half as good, I know I will love it too. Are the other books (Josh Thurlow, Crater) as good?

Homer Hickam Better. www.homerhickam.com

Why, you might fairly ask, is the novel subtitled "A somewhat true story?"

Homer Hickam Because it is a family legend which, through the art of story-telling, unveils the greatest truths of life, joy, heartbreak, recovery, and love.

I could not put this book down. Now I want to read Rocket Boys. Everyone should read this book. It will give you a new insight into alligators or at least this one.Did this author write anything besides the two books?

Homer Hickam Indeed I did! Fifteen more, as a matter of fact, most best-sellers. Go here: http://homerhickam.com/books/
