Jeremy Wyngaard _an_aard — I'm missing what others have enjoyed about this book, because it uses a technique I've seen in some recent biographies that really rubs me the wrong way. The approach I'm referring to (which I also recently came across in a book on the 1918 Major League Baseball season) is where a writer collects newspaper clippings and then essentially concocts a story and tries to pass it off as fact. The following is not taken verbatim from the book but is, I think, an example for the "writing" it contains. The Wednesday before the big game, Grange took a motorcycle to the local doughnut shop on the corner of University and 23rd. He had borrowed it from a friend who told him he could use it in exchange for tickets to a conference game later on that season. Betsy, a blonde waitress with sun-dappled cheeks, asked "The usual, Red?" Grange replied "Yes, but today I'll take it to go." Minutes later, Grange was out the door, back into the crisp fall afternoon, having left a 5-cent tip on the counter. Grange admired the changing of the leaves on his ride back to the dorm rooms, noting to himself that he needed to keep focus on that weekend's upcoming contest versus Michigan. "Who's got time to study for finals with the Wolverines coming to town on Saturday?" The writer tells a story that may have never happened. Each of those incidences might be something that happened once, according to a newspaper article from somewhere. But to string them together and pass it off as a true story is completely disingenuous. I encourage you to read the book with a heaping dose of discretion. When you read an account of what somebody said, how somebody felt, or what somebody was thinking, check the appendix and see if there is a reference (newspaper article or interview) as a source for these musings. You'll find more often than not that there is none. There are some interesting historical facets to the book. Residents of Champaign-Urbana may find some interest in the rather lengthy history on the Virginia Theater. And big-time NFL history buffs will no doubt find plenty of interest. Other than that, the book reads as a rather tedious play-by-play account of his career. I enjoy details, but I don't need to read a full page detailing each and every time that Grange touched the ball during his collegiate career. More forest and fewer trees, thank you very much.

Filippo Emiliani _ilippo_miliani — I found that this is a book that I found to be very exciting. After finishing this book I immediately went to the second.
