Why This Must Be Read: This is one of those stories where it’s hard to say much about it without giving too much away, but it is by far one of the best stories I have ever read. This tells the story of John’s whole life and how he grows up from being an adorable six year old into the man we know and love. There is tons of action and suspense as we watch him grow up with plenty of surprises along the way. This story is amazing and a definite must read.
John's father straightened John's wool coat and gripped him by the shoulders. "What did I tell you about staying close? This is New York, people drive like maniacs," and then he took John's hand in his and together they crossed the street and got in line under the giant pink and blue neon sign. John gripped his Saturn V and hopped from foot to foot; all day long he'd waited through his father's stupid meetings at stupid General Electric, even though the secretaries had been nice to him and brought him red and green cookies and let him look out their windows at the ice skating and the tree and all the people. But now, finally, they were out and going to Radio City Music Hall to see the rockets!
The disappointment of figuring out that the rockets had been those women with the kicking legs stayed with John for years.
