"[T]he book offers Gibson a chance to engage in that most important paternal rite: taking pride in his son. Throughout GONE BOY Gibson can't help boasting, in a rather touching way, about Galen. Recalling a makeshift memorial to Galen at the Simon's Rock student union, Gibson marvels, 'He had so many friends!' After excerpting a piece of his son's writing, he asks, 'Isn't that impressive?' When Gibson apologizes to one of his many interview subjects for his persistent questions, the interviewee brushes him off, telling him, 'You're just being a good dad.' That in the process Gibson has also written an excellent book is so much the better."Gibson, Gregory is the author of 'Gone Boy A Walkabout', published 2000 under ISBN 9780385720045 and ISBN 0385720041.
