Rachel Santino says,  This is a heartfelt behind-the-scenes tell-all, uncovering some of the mysteries of what it was like to be a Golden Gate Bridge painter before the rules were changed. It was shocking, informative, sad, funny, and satisfied my curiosity about life on the bridge. It’s a page-turner and will interest a wide range of people.

If you want to get them all at once, here you go:  A View through the Fog by Bob McGee | Goodreads . Carine, awarding five stars, says,  I live in the bay area. I drive the Golden Gate Bridge frequently, but after reading A VIEW THROUGH THE FOG, I will never look at the bridge the same way. There is so much more to the bridge than meets the eye. The stories about jumpers off the bridge was rather disturbing at times, but i really enjoyed the battles between the author and Smokey. Somber, funny, and entertaining. Its a real good book.

If you want to get them all at once, here you go:  A View through the Fog by Bob McGee | Goodreads . Tamara Davis, awarding five stars, says,  A View Through the Fog  thoughtfully represents a period of time for the Golden Gate Bridge and its workers there then.

I learned a lot about the construction, components, and upkeep of the bridge, plus what is involved in getting a coveted painting job. The suicide details are startling, but the author bravely broaches the topic and handles it with com...
