Best March Madness Preparation Read

I picked this book up a few years ago and read it prior to the annual NCAA Mens' Basketball Tournament. It was a fascinating read, and takes the reader along with Hank and Bo as if all were teammates. My memories of this book made seeing the retiring of the Gathers and Kimble Jerseys at LMU last season an extra special event.

Awesome

Bo Kimble shows all facets of Hank Gathers' personality. He does not try to make him better than he was, much less dis him. Bo knows... This booka lso shows the love of the game both Hank and Bo had.

A Great Book.

"For You,Hank" was a great book.It was very well written by Bo Kimble.I checked it out from a library and wished I didn't have to turn it in. I'm going to try to buy it for myself someday so I can read it again sometime.If you liked this book I would recommend "Fab Five" by Mitch Albom.

It was a wonderful story of triumph and tragedy.

I had to read this book to do a paper, but got so engrossed in it that I read it within a day! It was an absolutely wonderful story of determination, beating the odds, and a beautiful friendship. It made me feel like I knew Hank and Bo personally.

the greatest book ever written.

This book is by far the best book ever written by a human. Bo kimble is the man. If it had not been for hanks death he would have been nba at 50. I like to give peace to ben and one more thing. WESTSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
