Loved it!. Even better then I expected and hoped it would be. A funny and heartwarming story of passionately working at the home of golf.

Brilliant!!. As an American who has been lucky enough to go to St. Andrews twice, I found this book to be wonderful. What a great story.

An American Caddy in St. Andrews. Ollie Horowitz leads the reader through a fascinating journey of caddy life and what it takes to be accepted in St. Andrews, the home of golf. Accepted to Harvard for the following year, the author decides to spend his year at St. Andrews as a non matriculated student and learning to be a St. Andrews caddy. From being a trainee required to go though strenuous learning situations and constantly being tested by the ever present caddy master and senior caddies Horowitz describes in funny detail the people, their personal stories, and the growth of his life experiences in St. Andrews. His writing style is such that you are living besides him as he experiences both the good and not so good times in Scotland. This is an excellent read and not easily put down. You don't have to be a golfer to enjoy this book.

An American Caddy at St. Andrews. Wonderful book! As one who has made three trips around the Od Course plus two of the other courses...with caddies, I found the book very interesting. It's a must-read for golfers planning a trip there. My only regret was that I must not have tipped to the level expected! Tee hee!

Not just about golf. If you love golf, you should read this book. If you don't, read it anyway. For being about a young man's experience caddying, it's not about golf that much, rather an honest and genuine look at his search for meaning and finding his place in the world.

A must-read for all golfers. Could not put this book down. Heard about it through an acquaintance of mine and decided to flip a couple pages. Great stories, great writing and great (real life) characters. I've always wanted to visit St. Andrews and now my interest has skyrocketed. A great book about golf, caddying and growing up. A great read for golfers and non golfers alike (although the references wi make more sense to the knowledgable golfer)

So good you won't want to put it down. I'm amazed at how much I loved this book regardless that I don't play golf! If you have just a passing interest in St. Andrews and a passing interest in just golf you'll love this book. Beautifully written with just the right tempo. Young and old alike, try the sample and then just download the whole book. You won't be sorry.

It's.... ...about golf, Scotland, Harvard, girls, love -real and lust-, friends - new and old and everything else in life. It's extremely well written, touching, funny times two and real. Read it. Or weep.

orosman. started reading it on my flight back from St Andrews where i go twice a year and have been for past 10 years.Great book and one where i have met a lot of the characters and have some of them caddy for me.A must read!!!

An American Caddie in St. Andrews. I don't give many 5 star reviews, but this is well deserved. Having played the Old Course 3 times I get what Oliver was saying about the legendary atmosphere in St. Andrews! Thanks for a great read.

Great Job Ollie. As an avid golfer I have read many golf themed books, this was exceptional because golf is the foundation, but life's hard earned lessons are the structure. Great work......love you Uncle Ken!!!! Awesome!

Loved it. Great book ,buy it !! plus dude needs beer money

Good Read. Interesting read about a world seldom documented - really two stories - one about caddying and coming of age, the other about family.

Outstanding. Simply put, one of the best books I have ever read. A story that captures you from start to finish. One of a very small group of books that I truly didn't want to end. Thanks Ollie!

2 legit to quit.. Absolutely captivating read if you're a fan of golf. Probably the best book I've read about the golf experience.

An American Caddy. A great golf story! I can't wait to play better and take a pilgrimage to St. Andrews. I really miss uncle Ken. This is a GREAT read! Thanks.

Great book. Even if you're not a fan of golf this book is a must read. Ollie covers his life as a caddy from the time he's 18. Going to St. Andrews should be on everyone's bucket list and this book makes the place seem even more amazing.

Great book if you love golf!. For a golf nut who hardly ever reads I couldn't put it down. Would love to have met Uncle Ken. Best of luck Spielberg!!

An American Caddie at St. Andrews. Really good light reading. Once I started it I read it every spare moment I had until I was finished. Ya, it's one of those books.
