The author, Jim King, portrays himself as a modern day Sgt. Bilko, a humorous wheeler-dealer who conveys many of his life's experiences in vignette form. Many of his stories revolve around his two year military stint in Panama, playing baseball, transiting the canal multiple times, running boat trips to the tropical island of Taboga, driving fellow service personal to the local gambling casino, teaching Sunday school at a local church and meeting some very interesting celebrities and international figures. The Bilkoesque author superimposes his position attitude of life within the framework of the literary offering. If you're looking for sheer reading enjoyment, this is for you. It's a light read that won't take you long. You'll be able to get back to your football game and beer very quickly. Chronologically speaking, Jim King takes you from his upbringing in Brooklyn, through the city street games, many years of playing baseball, high school, college, the Army, graduate school, marriage and family, extensive travel - 45 countries - and his current idyllic existence enjoying friends, tennis and vodka and tonic in both Long Island and Florida. It's a quick fun, read. You won't be able to put it down because you'll get stuck on it. From Brooklyn to the World is truly a fun trip. Hope you enjoy it!!!
