When Bobby Kennedy Was a Moving Man

I loved this book. It is a great story, but impossible of course. In this account of the late Senator's life, his story becomes a fictionalized account of being allowed to return to earth as a moving man.I love the way the fictionalized Senator/Moving Man fits in with the 9:00 - 5:00 crowd, perfectly at ease with politicos and blue collar workers as well as the folks he goes on runs for. He is the man for everyone; the regular guy who gives his job his fullest effort. One can imagine the Senator whom we remember seeing with shirt sleeves rolled up, hard at work on the campaign trail or poring over work in his office on a moving run, sleeves up, sweating and grunting while moving somebody's heavy sofa or living room set. Robert Kennedy was nobody's slacker and this fictionalized portrayal of him will certainly bring smiles to many faces.Just think -- the next time one of your moving men gives his job his best effort without an occasional glance at the clock, you just might think of the late Senator.

As a moving man myself, I appreciated the moving company atmosphere and Seattle setting in "When Bobby Kennedy Was a Moving Man." While delving into the moving industry a little bit, Gordon's book focuses more on Bobby Kennedy being reincarnated into Regular Joe mover and the conflicts going on in his mind. (Note: this Bobby Kennedy reincarnate, however, is NO regular joe mover when it comes to the moving job though...)I was captivated by this book and I liked it so much, it took me only two evenings to finish. If you are into JFK conspiracy theories, blue collar workers, reincarnation, or the moving industry, I would highly recommend "When Bobby Kennedy Was a Moving Man" to you.
