Like a fullback with a head of steam, I tore through The Blind Side (300 pages) in just two (long) nights.
In its own right, a GREAT story that touches on many aspects of Americana...poverty/wealth, racism, the influence of money, culture, drugs, and more.
On top of that, it's a great FOOTBALL story that will help the fan understand how the game has changed...right in front of our eyes...and without even knowing or realizing it.
In the days when I didn't have kids or a job, I would sometimes just devour a book...though it was the rare book that compelled me to do so. However, this was one of them.
If you are a football fan, you MUST read The Blind Side. Others will certainly enjoy it.
