John Grisham has taken a detour from the types of stories he usually writes. This story is about a football team and its coach, but not in the way you think it is. Even though I'm not a big fan of football, it held my interest from start to finish. It's a story about the players and their coach, and about achieving a goal regardless of the obstacles, and about never giving up.
I thought this book was excellent, enhanced by the fact that the author is also the reader. It tells of the impact on one's life that a coach and partiscipation on a sports team can have on a life.
Talk about bringing back memories. This was a powerful story that I hated to see the end come. You don't have to be a football fan to enjoy this one.
