Sins of the Tribe by Mark A. Salter takes a deep dive into the dirty underbelly of college football. It follows Wally Hestia and his special needs brother Henry as they become members of the Bastille University Tribe football team. Henry is a kicking prodigy and Wally is his holder, the only holder that Henry will work with. The Tribe is pretty much as awful as you would imagine. Full of bullying, brutality, and corruption, it is the side of college football that most people do not see. The characters are very well-written and the setting is realistic. There are a few time jumps that can have you backtracking to check that you are following along correctly. The decisions Wally makes can seem very frustrating at times, you wonder what on earth he is thinking, but we also have to realize he is trying to look out for Henry and doing the best he can. As a football fan, I loved the book, but I think those who are not into football will enjoy it as well.
