A Goodreads Review of A View through the Fog by McGee

Image
Bob McGee's book,  A View through the Fog , has received a number of reviews of Goodreads -- all outstanding ones. We will be sharing these over the next few weeks. If you want to get them all at once, here you go:  A View through the Fog by Bob McGee | Goodreads . Donna Wattley, awarding five stars, says,  This book was an eye opener. It goes behind the scenes to show what it’s like being a painter on the Golden Gate Bridge. Often comical, sometimes sobering, at times sad, this book is filled with interesting anecdotes that reveal the work culture of the painters, including their many high jinks. The author gives enough detail about the Bridge so you can picture its features, but without being so technical that the book drags, then kindly adds a glossary and bridge statistics at the end. All in all, an enjoyable read. If I can read a book for leisure and learn something from it, that’s my idea of a win. AWARDS Pinnacle Book Achievement Award Literary Titan gold award Eric Hoffer D
