I was quite surprised at how good this book was considering who it was written by. I am quite familiar with Mike Greenberg and his show on ESPN so I was very intrigued to read this story. It's unbelievable that it was written by a man and not by a woman. I will know longer look at Mr. Greenberg in the same way. Kudos, to a book very well written. Will be telling all I know to add this to their Christmas list as a must read!

This was one of the best books I've read this year. It keeps a person's interest from page one. Three women...three different lifestyles, and yet, one common theme. We are women, we are sisters, we shall always be there for each other. Mike starts the book off well with the competitiveness of all hard-working women and yet brings us together for the second half. Kudos!!

by Jan T. (Leona Valley, CA) All You Could Ask For
This is a very heart warming story of three women facing a mutual crisis. I felt an emotional bond to these women and admired each of their stories. I am astounded this book was written by a man as I was when reading any book by Wally Lamb. This would be an excellent book for a book club composed of mostly women. He captured the emotional spectrum of life. I will recommend this book to all my women friends - it is an ode to female friendship. Five Stars!!!

by Anna R. (Oak Ridge, TN) Unexpected
When I discovered the author of this book was Mike Greenberg of "Mike and Mike in the morning;" I thought what does he know about women? Well, was I surprised. The thoughts and actions of the three women seemed so real. He made their emotions believable and I could "see" the characters. I couldn't put the book down because I wanted to find out what happened. The ending was just right. Well done, Mike.

by Debbie-Lyn C. (Kitty Hawk, N.C.) all you could ask for
I felt the cover was misleading, giving the appearance of a self help book instead of an easy read I had a hard time putting down. The book was very unique in the way the last line of one character's section lead into the first line of the next character's section. This technique showed the similarities of the 3 characters. I enjoyed learning the background of each character in Part One and seeing how their character uniqueness lead to personal decisions in Part Two. The way exercise was an important part of each character's life almost inspires me to join them!

by Anne D. (Westbrook, Maine) Slightly predictable, though heartwarming
"All you Could Ask for" by Mike Greenberg was surprisingly insightful into the minds and hearts of 3 women , all undergoing change in their lives. The women, Brooke, Samantha and Katherine are all wealthy, beautiful and fit;all the ingredients of a good Lifetime movie . Their lives intertwine as adversity touches each of them , and brings them together as only women can understand. Women and Mike Greenberg that is ! It is definitely a side of the sportswriter that you have never seen .
Fearless, gripping, at once darkly funny and tender, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story set in today's globalized world.
The story of an American family, middle class in middle America, ordinary in every way but one. But that exception is the beating heart of this extraordinary novel.
