5.0 out of 5 stars Super Bowl Sunday: The Day America Stops, March 21, 2001

By	Robert S. Kern (Duluth, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This book was very entertaining with Super Bowl information and stories that most people don't know. There is a chapter for each Super Bowl up through the 2000 game. Each chapter is a story told by someone who was a part of the game. Stories are from coaches, players and even referees. They offer different perspectives on the game and how the experience affected them and their teams. It was an enjoyable read and the insert comments from the CBS sports people who covered the games were also neat to see. I would recommend this for any football fan to add to their sports book collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Super Bowl Sunday: The Day American Stops., February 26, 2002

By	Sean A Boardman (Westbrook, CT) - See all my reviews

The good things about this book that make it unique are that you get to hear the points of view of important people in Super Bowl history that you normally do not get to hear from. (linemen, non-superstar players, team executives) Their unique perspectives on the biggest of all football games makes this book stand apart from the typical Super Bowl book.
The negatives are that for the money, the book is too short. There are a couple of factual errors, as well as printing errors, where the same paragraphs and pages are accidentally repeated. (Did anyone at the publisher bother to proofread it first?)
For the true football/Super Bowl fan, you will find this book enjoyable.
