Historia
New York Times best-selling, award-winning historian S. C. Gwynne tells the incredible story of how Hal Mumme and Mike Leach - two unknown coaches who revolutionized American football in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s - changed the way the game is played at every level, from high school to the NFL. Hal Mumme is one of a handful of authentic offensive geniuses in the history of American football. In 2015 ESPN Magazine, the nation's leading sports magazine, called him the single most influential football coach in the last quarter century.

I learned so much about how the passing game we know today came to be. Very well written and interesting especially for the football fan.

Historia
It's wedding season on Nantucket. The beautiful island is overrun with summer people - an annual source of aggravation for year-round residents. When one lavish wedding ends in disaster before it can even begin - with the bride-to-be discovered dead in Nantucket Harbor just hours before the ceremony - everyone in the wedding party is suddenly a suspect. As Chief of Police Ed Kapenash digs into the best man, the maid of honor, the groom's famous mystery novelist mother, and even a member of his own family, the chief discovers that every wedding is a minefield - and no couple is perfect.

I really loved Hotel Nantucket so gave this one a try. It was pretty good but nothing special. It could use further character development and the ending was underwhelming.

He has never been away from home, nor has he ever been on an airplane. The opportunity to be scouted by dozens of college coaches is a dream come true.

Great but left me wanting
Revisado: 06-01-21
While I was so excited to read another sports book by John Grisham, this one left me a bit wanting. The story of Samuel and his family was both amazing and sad with an emphasis on sad. While I appreciate JG's attempt to cover a very important and sad topic of recreational drugs, I don't think it fit Sooley's character and flat out to me just wouldn't have happened. His agent's handler would never allowed him to get out of his sight (pre-contract signing) especially when he's the one who took him to the Bahamas in the first place. I believe he should have focused more on Sooley's attempt to get his family out of the South Sudan vs. the tragic story of senseless experimentation with drugs and alcohol. With that being said, I really liked the story about the team and their amazing effort during March Madness. I loved the coaches in the book and their care for the young men in their charge. College coaches today should listen to this book and follow Lonnie and Echo's lead. Finally, the ending left me wanting more. Very little about what Samuel's family was going to do next. I thought JG could have expanded on that a bit as well. In conclusion, the stories about South Sudan are very real and the plight of the refugees is heartbreaking.

Historia
Seventeen-year-old Reagan seems like the perfect small-town girl. Dubbed a saint by her older brother, Lincoln, she serves the community, makes straight A’s, attends church, spends her summers working with special needs children, and is a piano-playing prodigy. When you’re the daughter of the mayor and the police chief in a sleepy Kansas town, toeing the line is easier than the alternative. That is, until her brother’s best friend changes the rules.

Another masterful read by Gregg Hurwitz
Revisado: 04-13-18
Where does Hellbent rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Top 10. Orphan X is a great character. I have listened to all of Gregg's books and they are all great. The Orphan X series is my favorite. This one ranks right up there with his previous Orphan X books. Very suspenseful. A great story! You know a book is great when you're sad your commute is over because you have to stop listening to the book.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Orphan X is my favorite character. He is tough but also has a softer side. He looks out for people who have no one else.
Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I've listened to over 20 books by Scott Brick. He is my favorite narrator. I purchase books because he is the reader. This is in the top 5. The suspense that he can create through his voice is second to none.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Hell Bent is great
Any additional comments?
This book and the previous Orphan X books should be made into a feature length movie.

When Greg finds Rebecca on his walk to New Hampshire and finds out she is really smart and only 13 years old.
Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I've listened to many of Scott Brick's other performances. He is a master and this one ranks right up there.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would have loved to. This was a very compelling story. Couldn't wait to get back in my car and listen.

Historia
Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his Black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier. The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly?

Great Read
Revisado: 01-28-14
Would you listen to Sycamore Row again? Why?
I would definitely listen to Sycamore Row again. Great story. Really liked learning about the history of Mississippi. The return of Jake Brigance as the main character was a great surprise.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
In typical John Grisham fashion, he grabs you right from the beginning and takes you through the history of the struggle for equal rights in rural Mississippi. The characters are well developed and the courtroom drama had just the right amount of twists and turns.
What about Michael Beck’s performance did you like?
His ability to do so many voices, both male and female.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Righting a 100 year old wrong is never easy
