A great weekend read

This wonderful story delves into the forbidden - class and race. Although I was left wanting more detail on the some key characters & the ending was a bit too "cinema", the journey is well worth the short ride. "Passing Game" is a misleading title, although it is football that brings the two main characters together though they are from different worlds. A classic tale of the privileged vs the deprived, white vs black, good vs evil, and love vs hate. Definitely worth your weekend!
