Summary: poor man's friday night lights
Comment: For anyone who has participated in youth football to any degree, this book will bring back a lot of memories (good and bad). I am a Floridian living in Texas. I cannot begin to count the number of arguments I have had with Texans concerning Texas vs. Florida football. I was really hoping this book would show up Friday Night Lights and prove that FLA reigns supreme. Sadly for me, it did not do the trick. This is a quick read and will entertain, but it lacks some of the emotional depth of F.N.L. This may be more of a regional favorite describing South Florida very well, but I'm not sure New Englanders or those in the Midwest would find much of the cultural and geographical references all that interesting. I did like it, but just not enough to recommend buying it.
Rating: 5
Summary: An Outstanding Book
Comment: This well-written book gives the reader a fascinating glimpse at a place where youth football is treated entirely differently than how you and I are used to. The author does a great job of providing the required political background and the social dynamics of Miami. I could not put the book down. This book is highly recommended.
