The best book I ever read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brian's Song (Screenplay) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the best book I ever read. At our high school we have to read a book over the summer. This was the book assigned to my grade level, and I read it in 4 hours, and I hate to read. That is how good this book is.

An EXCELLENT Book, a constant page-turner!,
By J. Phani Deepti (India, presently a student in Bangkok, Thailand.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brian's Song (Screenplay) (Mass Market Paperback)
I love this book, because it is great! This book is one of my most favourite books that I have ever read. It narrates a real story about a truthful friendship between two men, who are from different races, have different personalities and come from different places in USA, but become best friends like brothers. The story of the book carries the theme that a true friendship always takes place in the hearts of people even with many diffences that exist. Brian Piccolo is a white man; he is a very easygoing person and likes to talk a alot. Gale Sayers is a black man and is a very shy person. They both meet while playing for an American football team, the Chicago Bears. As life goes on the playing fields, their friendship starts by playing some practicle jokes on each other, but with the problems that come up, they become best friends. This great friendship comes to a sad tragedy at the end! I burst into tears at the end, because it is such a heart-moving, great story. Even though I don't know much about American football, I really enjoyed reading this book alot. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone. This book will definitely capture the hearts of people who read it.

Moving story,
By A 7th grade Teacher (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brian's Song (Screenplay) (Mass Market Paperback)
The story shows real friendship between two different people with many differences. The two go beyond race and personality differences. You see this when the two help eachother when Gale is hurt and when Brian is sick.
