Customer Reviews

a fun-to-read memoir

I enjoyed this fictionalized look at life in small-town Iowa. The author's admiration for his father really shines through. I learned some history and felt I knew the family well by the end of the book.

Wonderful Surprise

When you read Dr Dan Wagner's novel, 'Docs Boy' you will wonder why he hasn't been writing for years. He must be a natural born phrase maker because he writes with clarity and style, with humor and emotion, that is rarely seen in first time books. Maybe it works so well because Dan has lived the story. It's based on his own boyhood in Primghar, Iowa, where he was the son of the local 'Doc', as everyone called him. It also serves as a wonderful stroll back in a time that was the golden era for small midwestern towns. It is a tale well told.
