I definately recommend the book to not just athletes, but to everyone, because its a really understandable story that creates the feeling of passion for the game of football. Every young athlete covets the feeling of being the greatest and reaching competitive greatness, like Neely Crenshaw did. I think the fact that Neely’s career ends the way it does keeps the reader interested and feeling sympathetic for Neely. The only thing I would’ve changed in the book is I would’ve had Neely and Cameron fall back in love with each other and get married. If they would’ve gotten married, I think that it would’ve been easier for Neely to move on from his football days.
