Overall Great

As a whole i thought this book was very good. Im not a big reader but i enjoy reading on sports history, and who better than the most famous coach in the NFL. It does a very good good on keeping you entertained. In the start of the book it kind of talks about his life when he was in highschool. It shows that he was very intrested in sports at a young age. His highschool was on the the best highschools around in football. Then it tells some great stories about when he was in college and then of course, tells about some of his best NFL games when he coached for the Packers. I really thought this was well written and it really kept me intrested through out the entire book. Then also another nest thing is in the back of the book it shows a bunch or stats that are just cool to look at. If you are a sports fan of any type, or just intresed in Vince Lombardi, then i really recommend this book.
