Took me back

Damn this book made me feel like I was in SF skating. The narrative is a emotional ride of highs and lows that, despite being fiction, most people could imagine actually going down in the City. Thoroughly enjoyed and plan to listen again in a couple months.

Great romp!

Days later, I am still in the afterglow of this book. What a fun romp in San Francisco! All the places that I know so well but in a world that I don’t know at all.
The characters were compelling – nicely drawn with their unique flaws and strengths.
I loved getting an insight into the world of skate boarding and into a millennial’s head. Great storytelling and great narration…

Top Notch

I loved this book. Once I started I couldn’t stop listening. Hope Off Clark gets the audiobook treatment as well.

Great read

Love this book. It was a great read so I had to get the audio book to experience while working with my hands. Great to listen to in the head phones. I can’t wait to read the next book you dropped “Off Clark”.

Gripping

This story had me gripped from the get go. Was recommended on a podcast. As a skateboarder I felt I was in the story with Henry.
This book would make a great film

A wild, week long story!

Great story. Listened over 2 days and enjoyed the time being read to by Rudy Behrens.
Looking forward to the next book!
Great for washed up skateboarders who pussed out on trying to go further with their skate careers. Cheers!
