I’m not sure what it is exactly the good storytellers have, but whatever it is, Reaves has it in abundance. Reading it added spice to my otherwise quiet, ordered life.
This is an epic tale of derring do, love and family values.
The “stay thirsty my friend” Dos Equis guy needs to be replaced by Roger Reaves as he truly has to be the most interesting man in the world.
I too could not put this book down, as an adventure story it is up there in spirit with Clemens/Twain’s Huckleberry Finn.
Great, Exciting reading. Can’t put the book down.
Having difficulty putting the book down, I now think of Roger as a thoughtful, loving, adventurous bad ass. GO Roger!
Enjoyed the book on kindle and ordering a hard copy as a gift!
I heard this man on our local radio station talking about his book. I bought it because I have read a lot about Barry Seal, Mena, the CIA, and the Clintons etc. I thought he might fill in some blanks in what I had read. He did do that, but the majority of the book is about his life and exploits all over the world.
He calls his book “a Memoir” and that is what it is. He has had the craziest life story you will ever read about. They say cats have nine lives this man must have had a hundred. He has a scar on his skull where a bullet grazed it, one on his cheek, and a missing big toe that was shot off. He almost died in several airplane incidents. You have to keep reading to see what is going to happen next.
He owned several airplanes, boats, houses, dined at exclusive restaurants and spent money like water. He went through millions.
He is a well-read man too. He is familiar with all the classics, the Bible, and to my surprise, “Pilgrims Progress”. He quotes from all these repeatedly.
Let me just repeat again, this is the wildest life story you will ever read.
Roger takes you through his wild, crazy, and dangerous life. His stories are super interesting and captivating. His attention to detail and ability to relay his story is impressive. Definitely get the audio book, as Roger’s voice and how he tells the story makes it even better (although you miss out on the pictures that the physical book has). Great book that is worth the time and money.
