This book was very, very good. I am not a fan of sports, i do not know anything about sports but you don't need to know to read this book. It was such a captivating book about college football. The inside, the ugly, the things we don't see and know while standing on the stands or watching it on TV. It was heartbreaking to read about how less the players are actually cared for, they are used to win a game that no longer feels like a game. It was an emotional read for me, but i am happy i got to see this side of college football. I was not sure about this book at first but curiosity won me on this and i have no regrets. This book was as bare as the skin on me. It was very well-written. One of the lines from the book that i felt as i read was from Dion "I lost hope; it was going to be part of me forever. Time would pass and the memory would recede but the hole in me would grow."
