This book was actually suprisingly good. I bought the book for my wife's middle school english class but being a big football fan decided to read it. I have never found a book that actually did a good job of showing the strugles of being a high school athlete with a lot of pressure to preforme but this book did a great job. The author also did a good job of explaining aspects of the game of football for people who don't follow it closly, but he did so without becomming annoying to die hard football fans.
