It's hard to top Jim Klobuchar as a sports writer, and he does it again with "Knights and Knaves..." Covering the highlights and the personalities that have driven the Minnesota Vikings since their inception all the way to the dismal 2000 playoff game against the Rams, Klobuchar paints an inspiring potrait even amidst the many heartbreaking Vikings defeats. His frank and candid appraisals of such Purple legends as Tarkenton, Moss, Bud Grant, Dennis Green and Cris Carter will humanizie these gridiron deities, and supply the fan with information not found elsewhere. Aside from a few typos, and some inaccurate dates, I found "Knights and Knaves" very enjoyable and enlightening. A must read for any true Vikes fan like myself.

I am one of the most commited vikings fans and well Mr. Klobuchar you did it. You have enclosed all of our purple and gold ambition. This book is for any one who has given up a Monday night to watch their team play.

Yet another Klobuchar book that gets praise from Vikes' fans but I wonder if Vikes' fans seriously know what good writing is. Klobuchar's writing style is such a train wreck, I cannot for the life of me understand how he got a job as a sportswriter other than the fact Minnesota must not produce, nor is able to attract, talented and skilled writers.

I'm dying for a definitive book on the Vikings. Sadly, this is not it.

A great read on the adventures of the Minnesota Vikings. I would recommend it for anyone who is interested in the Vikings both a passing fancy and a hardcore dedication. The writing is more then passable and pleasing to read as it moseys along with the trials and tribulations of the Minnesota Vikings. What can I say but one day it will come that vindication for being a Viking fan will come and disprove the legend that the Vikings will never win a Super Bowl.

THIS IS NICE READ ABOUT SOME OF THE MORE INTERESTING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIKINGS. IT COVERS NORM VAN BROCKLIN, CHRIS CARTER, BUD GRANT, FRAN TARKENTON, RANDY MOSS AND MANY OTHERS. A LOOK AT SOME OF THE GREATS OF TODAY AND THE PAST. TO ME IT DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH. TOO SHORT AND NOT DETAILED. BUT STILL A NICE READ FOR VIKING FANS WHO STILL WONDER WHEN WILL THEY WIN A SUPERBOWL. NOT TOO SOON.
