A BOOK WITH SOME ROAR

CHARLIE SANDERS DOES A GOOD JOB IN THIS MUST READ FOR ALL LION FANS. HE GIVES THE READER ASSORTED TIDBITS, STORIES AND INFO ABOUT MANY LION HEROES AND LEGENDS. AMONG THEM IS JOE SCHMIDT, BOBBY LAYNE AND ALEX KARRAS. HE TELLS US STORIES ABOUT THE GREAT LIONS TEAMS OF 1950'S THEN EXPANDS TO THE LIONS OF MANY ERAS. ALONG THE WAY HE TELLS US HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE SOME HUMOROUS AND SOME TRAGIC. ALL IN ALL THIS IS A GOOD READ AND I HOPE HE DOES ANOTHER BOOK SOMEDAY. I THINK CHARLIE WAS AN UNDERATED TIGHT END AND DESERVED MORE CREDIT. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO WATCH HIM PLAY AND A NICE EXPERIENCE READING HIS BOOK.

For the Lions lover

My son is a Detroit Lions fanatic (we live in Dallas and hate the Cowboys!) I wanted to get him something about the history of the team that would be not so boring to read. I couldn't stop reading this and finished it before I wrapped it for him as a Christmas gift (I'm a 50 year old mom and not that much of a football fanatic). The stories were great - comical, heart-warming, surprising, interesting, etc... a history of the Lions told from a perspective that can be appreciated.
