Great book and interesting look at Bonny kight

Revisado: 07-08-15

Other then then bill Simmons book of basketball (which I know bears no resemblance then this story) this is my favorite basketball book. Better then b"Breaks of the Game in my opinion. The storytelling was excellent, and I could feel the players pain as the coach swung back and forth in his mood and his tactile emotional outburst (although sometimes he did come across
As almost bipolar in his demeanor). As someone who was only 2 years old when this season happened, and therefore didn't know what was going to happen for each game or the season as whole, I was disappointed when Feinstein would tell the result of the games (or at one point even the season) before the event even happened. This ended some of the suspense that was building up. I know more then anything though this was a look of the characters that made up the season (rather then the actual results of a game) so still a great read. Definitely recommend!

Amazing start, slows down by the end

Revisado: 06-18-15

The first half of the book was super interesting and showed a side that was funny, introspective, and kind in the midst of some pretty crazy life events. She balanced very tough stories with a moment of humor put in at just the right time. The second half (post mid-point break) was entertaining but didn't have me locked in like the first half. Still overall an enjoyable book that shows the thinking of (as she might say) a very three dimensional person.

Ok... Not Chuck at his best

Revisado: 06-14-15

The common thread between excerpts is not as clear as his other titles which I very much enjoyed. The last short story which lasted for about 20% of the book was completely out of left field and could have been left off. I recommend going with his later texts if you are a fan of the former BS report guest (RIP BS Report)

Appreciating Chuck more and more

Revisado: 04-05-15

From a disliked guest on the BS report to a personal favorite and appreciated story teller. Chuck Klosterman has finally won me over with his humorous and thought provoking examples from pop culture, music, history, and sports to make bigger points on life. Sometimes you're not sure where he is going to land the plane at the early stages of each chapter, but by the end he always finds a way to do so.
