Book Reviews

Grover’s writing excites me. The way he weaves feelings and emotions and evolvements into each tale. I’ve been fortunate to have seen him in person and his writing is so much like how he is on stage as a performer. It takes me right along with him in each enthralling moment. Thank you Grover Dale for this extraordinary book!

Does Grover’s writing appeal to readers? Let me tell you … it’s like sitting in the Colonial Theatre for the opening of a new musical. The house lights go down. One watches and listens. If the music in some way embraces, seduces, lures you, your excitement rises, becomes joyful, joyous, almost boundless. That is exactly what Grover’s writing does!

I just read excerpts of A Boy Like That to my theatre class! They loved it! And the photos and sketches are also great. Thank you Grover, you add so much to my students! Blessings to you!

A Boy Like That will not disappoint. I have been a close associate of Grover Dale for over 15 years. I attended many events and listened to so many wonderful stories about his life and career. I thought I already heard most of what would be in the book, but I had barely scratched the surface. This book is so beautifully crafted and Grover’s storytelling is magnificent. If you love dance, musicals, and Broadway, this is a must read. It’s so fun! You won’t be able to put it down!
