Personal Foul

I couldn't put the book down. At first I was skeptical about whether or not the topic would appeal to me in that it is sports-related and about law. I'm not a sports enthusiast nor lawyer. But that was of no consequence. The book was riveting on another level: its narrative style. So if you like a good read, you'll love this book!

A worthwhile read

A very well written book that is hard to put down. Joe Moore is a fascinating character, and the book reveals both the intricacies of litigating an age discrimination case and a behind the scenes look at the Notre Dame football program.
