I read Heroes in two to three days. Couldn’t put it down. What a great story, well told.

Looney’s writing is as colorful, and his moral’s true-blue
Kevin Sherrington, Dallas Morning News
I think it’s one of the best baseball books I’ve ever encountered. Just terrific.
Greg Williams, The Hardline 1310 The Ticket, Dallas, Texas
One of the best reads I’ve had in years!
Steve Binder, Legendary Hollywood Producer and Director
Will stand the test of time.
Michael Humphrey, Producer of Robin Penn’s film Last Face
A classic that captures the joy of life, art and sport.
Charlie Waters, Former All-Pro Dallas Cowboys and Cover Artist
The book is awesome!
Bill Deore, National Award Winning Cartoonist
Loved the book. Stephen King meets “Field of Dreams”-a unique page turner that you won’t want to put down. Was sorry when I finished it. Heroes are hard to find, but Mike Looney has found one in the most unlikely circumstances.
Kevin McCarthy, Texas Radio Hall of Fame
As pure a sports book you’ll ever read. I couldn’t put it down. It has everything, baseball, nostalgia, and a good mystery.
John Nelson, Broadcaster-Fort Worth Cats Baseball Club
“Heroes" is a superbly written book. After a fantastic beginning, of which I could relate to because of my age, "Heroes" settled back to allow me to live with "Cal" and urge him on to fairness in his struggles. "HEROES" hits a Home Run.

Thanks so much for the interview re: "Heroes Are Hard To Find". I hope people realize this is not a "baseball" novel (in my opinion), but rather a "life" novel painted on baseball canvas. If you love baseball, you'll love "Heroes Are Hard To Find"...if you don't love baseball, you'll still love "Heroes Are Hard To Find".
Thanks Mike...

I hope Hero's finds its way into every Sophomore English class in the U.S. as required reading.

I read the book in one sitting. Thanks for writing the book I wish I would have written. It would be a gift to all my old buddies and I will have my students reading it too.

As I psychologist, I readily recognized my friend and former student was suffering from depression, even suicidal tendencies. After several sessions, I finally convinced my friend to read, Heroes Are Hard to Find. Now things began to open up between my former colleague and myself. Heroes Are Hard to Find had lifted a crippling depression.
