Customer Reviews

An inspiration...I loved it!

I was very much inspired by most of the stories in Mr. Snooks wonderful essay/photo book, and saddened by a few as well. One of the most uplifting was the story of Denver Martin, the young boy who battled, and won, his fight against leukemia. I definately reccommend this as a great gift for anyone!

A touching, visual essay of father and son relationships

I was a bit skeptical when I first heard of the book, Fathers & Sons, thinking it might be a sappy and pretentious "sensitive man of the '90s" sort of thing. Instead, it is an artfully crafted and beautifully presented portrayal of true father/son relationships, illustrated by the author's stunning form of photo portraiture. The book contains the stories and photos of celebrities (Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf and his son grace the front cover, and BA Robertson -- lyricist of Mike & The Mechanics' "The Living Years" -- is pictured on the back cover with his son), but the most gripping stories come from everyday people. Just try to read the story of Kent Nuzum, who was only 10 years old when his father died, without getting misty. Then there's Conrad Murdock, a farmer, whose story filled but one line. You'll have to read it yourself, I could never convey the proper sentiment here. If you are a father, son or someone with a father or son, this book is both a "must read" and a "must see."
