>reading Bob Greene's book and read it and have to say it was more enjoyable than Me Alice and Golf Monster I think because it captures my favourites era.
There is no doubt that he is a good writer and that it's a good book. It isn't a work of fiction, but neither can everything in it be relied on as being accurate.

true but a good read all the same would be good to dissect it and discuss what is inaccurate, anyone want to start?
It's like Shakespeare, he was a great writer but not a great historian.
Macbeth the Scottish King in his play killed King Duncan in a different place and way to how it really happened, elaborating the truth for a story, though fact sometimes is stranger than fiction.

Only the participants in those events would know for sure. I know Glen didn't like it and both Neal and Dennis have mentioned it in various interviews (as has Alice, of course).
