This review is from: Alphabet Jackson: A novel (Hardcover)

Unbelievable, hilarious! I read this book on the advice of my father when I was about 12 (this is an adult read) and I have read it about 20 times since and it just becomes funnier every time I read it. I recently lent my very torn paperback to my 13 year old step-son and he actually did a school book report on it. As a woman, I knew virtually nothing about football, but this book explains not only the rules and penalties, but what goes on in the huddles and on the sidelines and in the dormitories during training. You actually become part of the team. Even my thirteen year old, who has nothing in common with me, finally talks to me about this book. READ IT! and have a good day.
