Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Soon after best-selling author Rick Reilly started writing a weekly back-page column for Sports Illustrated, he tackled the subject of cheerleading. Reilly wrote: "I don't hate cheerleading just because it's as safe as porcupine juggling. I hate it because it's dumb. Cheerleaders have no more impact on the game than the night janitorial staff. Exactly what does a girl get out of cheerleading, anyway, besides a circle skirt and a tight sweater?" These sentiments didn't exactly endear him to the pom-pom set, who went after the 11-time National Sportswriter of the Year with a vicious letter-writing campaign. That's the story behind the title of Reilly's latest collection of columns, Hate Mail from Cheerleaders, now releasing as a paperback. Having handpicked 100 of his favorite pieces from the last seven years, Reilly revisits his subjects by adding postscripts to his work. It's obvious why the book's first release as a hardcover in the spring of 2007 reached the New York Times bestseller list for eight consecutive weeks: this collection brings together the best work by the best columnist in the business.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Book, Full of Great Stories (Funny and Sad...), February 16, 2009
A co-worker recommended this book and I'm glad I ordered it. Each story is typically about 3 pages long. Some nights I'd read a couple stories, other nights many more. Reilly is very witty and I found myself chuckling during several of the stories. I'd highly recommend the book and will probably order another of his now; if I like that one too I'll keep buying!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, January 14, 2009
By L. Gregory "roll tide" (Tuscaloosa, Alabama) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this book for my sixteen year old son for Christmas.
He told me more than once he would read it again and that it made
him laugh. Therefore I can recommend it for any sports crazed
reader.
