I have it, haven't read it yet.

EDIT: I have begun reading it and like it so far. I'm like on page 20.

Re: the book: Code Name Ginger by Steve Kemper

It is a good story. The storyline moves pretty well and Kemper does a good job of describing "characters". Kemper seems to walk a fine line between making a book to sell to the masses and trying to keep people in the book happy. While his story may be accurrate, he did take liberty to step on many toes to tell his story. I can see why this depiction ticked some people off.

ive read it. its an awesome book! i loved it and if i had the time id read it again but now that the new seasons started its going to have to wait.

everyone should read it it really shows u what it would be like to work with dean and how he really thinks. i really like the begining when it described how dean got started.

good book everyone go get it... or a segway and let me ride it!

Re: the book: Code Name Ginger by Steve Kemper

I got it and read through it.

If anything, I think it gave me a better understanding of engineering and designing a product. I have a newfound appreciation for manufacturing and producing.

Re: the book: Code Name Ginger by Steve Kemper

if you buy one, dont you HAVE to get the other, sooner or later?

that would be a good deal for Amazon, buy the book and get a free segway, you know, a package deal.

Wow... now that school is out... I really have no excuse not to read it.
OK... I just have to un-earth it. My room is a mess and it is hiding somewhere
