Well worth reading again & again!!! September 19, 1999
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've owned this book for a number of years & I find it is DEFINITELY a "keeper". My wife can"t understand why I drag it out & re-read it every Fall. I'd read & enjoyed Ruark's fiction in my younger days, but when I stumbled across "The Old Man & The Boy" it reminded me of times in the woods & on the water with my own father & the life lessons I was taught at those times. Both books together are simply a double treasure.
Probably the finest piece of classic sporting literature. July 29, 1999
My grandfather gave me a paperback edition of the "The Old Man and The Boy" when I was about twelve. I am thirty three now and this book has never left my side. I have since acquired "The Old Man's Boy Grows Older." This work has similiar flavour. For those sporting people who long for the days of ethics and morality in the field and in the home this book is a must read. You can virtually smell the campfire, hear the Quail calling and learn some important lessons on life and sport.
Read as a boy, this book shaped my adult life. May 1, 1998
As a success in my field, I was questioned by my trade organization what management books I kept on my desk. Only one: The Old Man and the Boy.
 Fathers should read and pass on to their sons. November 30, 1997
My mother gave this to me to read when I was 8 or 9. I have since grown up to be an avid hunter with respect for my elders and the great outdoors. I now have a son who is approaching 19 who has also read the book. He has been fortunate to have an "Old Man" by his side.
One of my favorite books. Any outdoorsman would love. October 25, 1997
My father and I have read this book over and over. Now that I live in a large city, reading "The Old Man and The Boy" reminds me of my childhood, life in a rural community and the satisfaction of learning proper etiquette in the outdoors from someone older and wiser than I.
