Review: Is it fair to write a review of a book you thought was so stupid and ridiculous you chose not to finish it with only 75 pages to go?

Summary: Not as Satisfying as The Green
Review: Last year, I read McCallister's other Eddie Caminetti book, The Green, which detailed his participation in the Ryder Cup. Because The Green was so good, I really looked forward to reading The Foursome. Now, I'm a bit disappointed.Don't get me wrong . . . The Foursome is still a pretty good book with an interesting premise - that people can confront their shortcomings and make positive changes in their lives. The problem with the book, however, is that it focuses upon the least interesting characters, the flawed golfers who travel to Swithen Bairn, and less upon Eddie Caminetti. Ultimately, I liked The Green better than The Foursome because The Green allowed the reader to benefit from Eddie's wisdom after having experienced it firsthand. In The Foursome, the action focuses upon Eddie's opponents and left me with the feeling that I would have enjoyed the book more if it was told from the perspective of Eddie's teammates who were playing against them.

Summary: The Foursome
Review: Not a bad follow-up to "The Green," but certainly not on par with it either. Troon McAllister takes the reader down a path of testing human nature over friendship and how the foursome deal with life after a memorable golf experience. Not quite as entertaining (retorically) as "The Green." I kept reading and reading in hopes of getting the same kind of humor from the characters as in Troon's first book, but ended up settling for a life-enduring lesson (or at least something to think about). You will come out of it saying to yourself "... there are some things that I can change in my life ..." A good read by all means.

Summary: McAllister didn't lose it after Book 1
Review: So glad to see that this author didn't take a tumble after his smashing debut. This one is every bit as good as the Green, even though it's different, of which we should all be glad.

Summary: This is a Hacker
Review: The boys and I loved the green - and were very disappointed after reading the Foursome. Do yourself a favor and skip this one if you love the "Eddie" mystique as much as we do...

Summary: Long and Down the Middle
Review: The Foursome, along with The Green, are extremely fun and entertaining reads. For golfing fans, these books are written so well and the images crafted so vividly that you can not help but be drawn into the competition on the pages. Main character, Eddie Caminetti will keep you rivited to every word he says,and you should listen and learn from them. I can't wait for more from Mr. Mcallister.

Summary: How fair are the comparisons?
Review: There are a lot of reviews comparing this book to its predecessor, THE GREEN, which is reasonable. However, in rating it, it should be rated on its own, not relative to one other book. THE FOURSOME may not be quite the rare gem THE GREEN was, but it is still one of the best books of its kind you'll ever read, and is terrific on its own, and fully merits five stars. I'd hate to think that readers of these reviews will get a misimpression that THE FOURSOME is anything but a superb story brilliantly told.

Summary: Welcome Back Eddie
Review: Troon McAllister strikes again. So does Eddie Caminetti of course. This is episode two for McAllister's wonderful character, a broader and less spotlighted episode (in the first Caminetti plays in the Ryder Cup), but still a wonderfully funny story filled with instantly recognizable characters. A more subtle and intricately constructed book than The Green, this is the story of 4 wealthy friends who go off in search of a memorable golf vacation. They certainly find one and along the way we are treated to a most memorable golf novel. Golf, human nature and comedy are baked in liberal quantities in this fantastic yarn about hustling, greed and character flaws. So much is packed into these pages it's difficult to imagine the author has much scope left for a third episode for Eddie Caminetti. Lovers of Golf novels can only hope . . .
