I found the stories in this book quite interesting - David Nelson has had a remarkable life. Although this book was a sequel to PALS Part One, which I also enjoyed, the writing style was completely different. Pals Part One contained numerous, yet poignant tales of David Nelson's life from grade school through high school. The stories of he and his pals growing up in a not-so-nice part of Dubuque, Iowa, were so rich with detail and emotion. Some stories make you laugh, yet others make you cry. Pals Part Two tells tales of David's life from college and on. A very interesting and entertaining read. Although he faced many hardships, he persevered!

Heartwarming,sad,humorous,enlightening,a flood of emotions through out.
I found the more I read the more I wanted to know about not only the author but also the town of Dubuque. I also grew up there but from the south side of town. I laughed, I cried, tears came happy and sad ones. I learned a lot about Tennessee, the state I haved lived in for the past 5 years. I think everyone can relate to at least one or more subjects David covers in this story.
