"The GOAT is Simon's best novel. While decades of experience as a tennis player may not be an adequate substitute for youthful agility and quickness, practice is plainly of great advantage in novel-writing, and Simon has ably employed the knowledge he has gained over the years. Thus, The GOAT is his most economically constructed and most consistently witty and amusing tale. That it deals in a lighthearted way with the most important of existential questions makes it that much more satisfying." --Jonathan Leaf, The New Criterion
"I read it in manuscript a while back and loved it!" -- Glenn Reynolds, Instapundit
