Customer Reviews

Excellent if you're willing to spend a few extra bucks

When I first saw this on the shelf at my local Borders I almost laughed. Who'd pay fifteen bucks for yet another NFL Preview book when there are several out there on the magazine racks for half the price? After taking a look inside however, I was tempted to buy it myself! Aside from the greater overall quality of the book compared to the magazines, the best feature is the humor. I laughed out loud several times in just a few minutes while skimming over the previews. Speaking of the previews, they are extremely well-written and are very relevant. I'm stunned this was written by one person.

The best football book I've read this year!

This book hooked me from the very first page. Never before have I seen this kind of voice in a sports preview book. The indepth analysis on each team is unparalleled, the commentary is shrewd, and the humor is well placed. When I heard that Andy Benoit had just turned 19, I was awe struck. This book has the insight and maturity of an experienced veteran sports writer and I was amazed that he had this type of ability at such a young age. I would strongly reccomend this book to anyone who is looking to read exceptional writing. Well done Andy.
