About this title

Review:

"Honest and funny and altogether true to life...about people so thoroughly decent and attractive that one wants to reach out and embrace them all."--Jonathan Yardley, Sports Illustrated

"Vision Quest is the truest novel about growing up since The Catcher in the Rye and it's a better novel about wrestling and wrestlers than The World According to Garp."--John Irving, author of The World According to Garp
