Customer Reviews

An Enjoyable Book, Full of Great Stories (Funny and Sad...)

A co-worker recommended this book and I'm glad I ordered it. Each story is typically about 3 pages long. Some nights I'd read a couple stories, other nights many more. Reilly is very witty and I found myself chuckling during several of the stories. I'd highly recommend the book and will probably order another of his now; if I like that one too I'll keep buying!

A must have for Rick Reilly fans!

It's great! A mix of his funniest and most touching articles. He's also written a little updated post script at the end of each one with a little more insight or info... Love it!

Excellent Book for anyone who likes a good story

Rick Reilly has a gift of striking at the heart strings of his readers. At the same time he can be extremely funny and that is what makes this such a good book. He includes many different stories which makes it an easy read. I highly recommend this book to all.

An excellent book, even for non-sports fans!

I'm only about a third of the way through this collection of columns by Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly, and already I feel like I've gotten my money's worth. Reilly is a great writer, with a great ability to take any sport or sport story and weave it into a true human interest piece. Even if you don't like sports, these quirky, funny, and inspirational stories will keep anyone's interest. Be sure to give this a look, as well as Reilly's other books.

Great Read!

If you are a fan of his columns then you will be a fan of this book. Very quick read, and it will definately make you laugh...
