4th Quarter Book Review

Bleachers by John Grisham is a book about grown men who look back at there high school football careers and revisit the memories because of the death of there legendary coach. During the revisiting of past memories i felted connected with the characters because i too am in the retired football faze of my life and its always interesting to see what people in the same boat have done. I felt really connected to a guy by the name of Neely Crenshaw who was the starting quarterback of a team that came short of the championship. He is the main character in the book and resembles my sistuation the most because we both play the same position and lost the championship game. I feel that this book is just a typical guy book about characters that are involved in sports and who have several baffling team stories thtat are scandalous and shocking. I recommend this book to mostly guys who are involved in sports because you read things that relate to you when it comes to remenissing about old games, players, and practices with you teammates.
