The character of D.T. senior is a traveling salesman. The exchanges between D.T. senior and second who senior calls junior are at time poignant and funny.
Mr. Hazelgrove is an award-winning author of fiction. He was born in Richmond, Virginia. His father was a traveling salesman who moved the family outside of Chicago when Mr. Hazelgrove was fourteen.

This is at times a funny book. Many readers will be able to relate with the character on some level. The characters are well developed and true to life as is the dialogue. Although, some readers may find parts of this book might not be suitable if they take offense to some profanity, even if in the proper context. Rocket Man is a story about the faults within a family; presented at times in a, funny and different way of handling situations and family members. If you are looking for a book to read, Rocket Man is recommended as a better than average read. Try it for yourself and see. Reviewer: Bob Medak, Allbooks Review www.allbookreviews.com
