Summary: Nearly dead solid perfect (hey, great title for a book!)
Comment: Read it the first time my senior year of high school. Read it again about a week ago and found a whole new level of enjoyment. Dan Jenkins is one of the few authors who makes me laugh out loud. I WAS Billy Clyde Puckett, I wanted to be Shake Tiller, and I've spent 20 years looking for Barbara Jane Bookman. Haven't found her yet, but I think I'm close. Recommended for anyone who loves sports and loves life. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary: Quite simply, it's the book that made a Yankee love Texas.
Comment: Without question, Semi-Tough is Jenkins' masterpiece. As a high school kid, I wanted to be Billy Clyde Puckett...the bursts of laughter still erupt each time I pick it up.
Two stud hosses from Ft.Worth, having starred at TCU, find themselves together in NYC and playing for the football Giants. They've got themselves a little old date in LaLaLand with the...Jets in what you call your Super Bowl. Puckett tells the story (in first person) of the days leading up to the game by taking a small tape recorder wherever he goes. Along with his counterpart, one Marvin "Shake" Tiller, and the gorgeous and talented Barbara Jane Bookman, Puckett waxes poetic on everything under the sun, particularly the hypocrisy associated with such an event as the Super Bowl in LA. It's lewd, raunchy, politically incorrect, and about as funny a read as you'll ever find...
Rating: 4
Summary: WILD RAUNCHY Blast from the PAST!
Comment: A reminder of days when Free Love was a way of life and football players could be BAD BOYS! I first read this as a naive 13 year old and I have to admit that after Semi-Tough I had quite the knowledge of any number of kinky predilections I had never dreamed of in small town America!
Dan Jenkins ratings scale for women from 1-10 is a hoot and pre-dates the famous 70s flick 10.So the book is sexist- it was the jiggle era of the 70s.
This book is FUNNY beyond belief- I love the final outcome with the guy who is known for expelling gas on cue.....The movie never lived up to the book- the book is bigger than life and too much fun! Great off-season reading for those of us already missing football a month after the SuperBowl
