As a football fan, this is a fascinating view of the evolution of the game, and how one position has changed the game. Additionally, the story of Michael Oher is fascinating. I picked up the book, and couldn't put it down! The story of Michael Oher will grab you and not let you go. It is not only a football story, but also a story about life, and the chances it (or not) gives to individuals, and what people do with the chances they are given.

This is a wonderful story, well written. This does rely on some knowledge and insight into the game, but it is primarily a heart warming story and only secondly an insightful glimpse into a fascinating game. <br /> <br />The powerful element of this for me, is that this is a true story. Sure Michael Lewis will have added a little artistic license but the rich vein of truth really allows the reader to enjoy. Michael Oher - good luck. I'm now watching your progress (and your back!). <br /> <br />Whether you are a fanatic of football (US variety) or simply enjoy a great story, I strongly recommend this.

Like Moneyball this is a thinking fan's sports book. <br /> <br />It explains the evolution of the game and the left tackle <br />position on the offenisve line. <br /> <br />Lewis is a wonderful storyteller somewhat like Tracy Kidder. <br />The writing draws the reader in. This should be required <br />reading for football fanatics before the NFL draft.
