Title: Still and good one
Review: I received this book as a gift in 1967, and still have that battered 1st edition. I read it over and over, living Alfred's triumphs and valiant defeat as if they were my own and imaging myself hanging out at the gym with him and his friends. The hopeful ending resonates today, maybe because we want hope for James more than we believe in it.
