Book Reviews

“I was part of the newspaper era in Los Angeles that Jack Hawn writes about so eloquently and knowledgeably. It was wonderful to re-visit that time, and I’m sure others will find reading this book and discovering that era very rewarding, too. The title is “Blind Journey,” but Jack Hawn sees that special time in the L.A. journalistic jungle with clear and insightful eyes”
Dwight Chapin

“I critiqued this book and enjoyed every page I read. If you like to read about the early days of televised sports, journalists’ lives, people like the Andrews Sisters, and boxers, you will enjoy this book. Well written by a professional journalist. Lots of great pictures, too. It was a “blind journey” because he didn’t start out to be a journalist, just stumbled into it, but it turned out to be a wonderful lifelong career.”
