the other side of the coin

This book goes great with Earl's; there's a certain amount of overlap, and it's most interesting to see both sides of the story. Sure, Jim is arrogant and self-centered, but that's what helped make him great. At least he has a sense of humor about it, just like Earl does. In the end, they both (along with so many of their great teammates) gave me countless wonderful memories which this book bring back. I enjoyed it immensely, _almost_ as much as Earl's..
