Last Rites.....chapter one.

I read this book when it first came out. A close friend of mine Ray Bellmay is the subject of Chapter One. He is the little known hero of the turnaround of the U. As the first African American full scholarship athlete at the University of Miami, he opened the door for all the superstars, All Americans, All Pros, Hall of Famers and champions (college and pro) who have fol;lowed to this day.

Great read for any college football fan

I should preface this by saying that I am a recent alumni of "The U" so this was a book of which I was extremely interested in. That being said, this is a very well written book and a quick read that you don't want to put down. It's written in a very easy-to-read style and flows well. It is very well researched and I learned quite a bit about a football program that I thought I knew a lot about already. If you care about the history of college football and want to learn about one of the most historic and important football programs in the country, definitely check this book out. You won't regret it.

Good book on A Powerhouse,The BEST! UM.

Excellent stories,True stories, Beatdowns of the Seminoles(FSU! blah!). And how The 'Canes Are Born Winners, A POWERHOUSE. Sapp,Johnson, So much. Book Is a Must for UM FANS!

An entertaining look at Miami's football program

This book describes the history (mostly recent) of the football powerhouse of the University of Miami Hurricanes. The author, Feldman, describes the beginnings of the Cane attitude, the former players and how they still feel part of the team, the problems that the team and the program have gone through, and the misperceptions. There won't be any incredible insights in the book, but it is a fun, entertaining, easy read. Good for a long plane ride.

Rene Ortiz' Review

I ordered the book an I had it in my hands within 3 business days. Excellent service. I would definitely recommend this seller 100%. The book is great; it tells great stories about players, coaches and the program itself. It is amazing how the U became a powerhouse.

Doing the U proudly...

I am a HUGE Miami Hurricanes fan, and I loved the book. I definitely recommend it to anyone else who loves Miami Hurricane football, or anyone who enjoys NCAA football period. It covers numerous areas of Miami history in detail from Howard's starting to pave the road for success through Jimmy's attitude to Coker's success after the departure of Butch. And it covers a lot of ground in between. I loved every page of it, and also held off on other things to keep flipping through the pages. This is especially a good read if you are a new Hurricane fan, and want to learn more about the program.
