THE BEST/FINEST

The best, finest football sports book written so far. A great novel whether you enjoy sports or football. The man had one teriffic book in him, and this is it. Details not only the strenghts and weakness's of sports/football but of people and life. There are no bad guys. We haz seen duh enemy and it is us. READ THIS BOOK!

The ultimate tale about the dark side of sports

Probably the best of Pete Gent's sports tales with great characters and a riveting story line. You won't be able to put this one down. Taylor Rusk is one of the best sports heros created.

fantastic

a truly entertaining book. peter gent may have done the impossible by eclipsing "north dallas forty"

Maybe the best written American Novel of the 80's

If you want to know the TRUTH; if you want to know about LIVIN AND LOVIN, you'll begin to appreciate just how much Peter Gent has put into this spectacular accomplishment. There's enough to keep you revved at maximum overdrive for at least three books worth. Yahoo!!

Funny and gripping at the same time

If you liked "North Dallas Forty", you'll love the franchise. One of the greatest sports-based books ever written. Tough to put down.
